Granite is a type of intrusive igneous rock

Explanation:

An igneous rock formed from hot magma or lava cools, solidifies or crystallizes to form rocks.

Based on the rate of cooling of magma, igneous rocks can either be intrusive or extrusive.  

A slow cooling of the magma deep within the earth without reaching the surface of the volcano leads to the production of intrusive igneous rocks.

This slow cooling leads to crystallization forming large crystals visible to the eyes with a phaneritic texture.

Granite has the best phaneritic texture among intrusive igneous rocks. Granite crystals can be easily visualized and are constituted by minerals like white feldspar, black hornblende, translucent quartz, and platy black biotite.

Extrusive igneous rocks like basalt are formed from microscopic crystals from fast cooling of magma.

Does sustainability cause environmental pollution in plants
gladu [14]

Answer:Environmental pollution is any discharge of material or energy into water, land, or air that causes or may cause acute (short-term) or chronic (long-term) detriment to the Earth's ecological balance or that lowers the quality of life. Pollutants may cause primary damage, with direct identifiable impact on the environment, or secondary damage in the form of minor perturbations in the delicate balance of the biological food web that are detectable only over long time periods.

Air pollution is the process which the substances and the energy forms are not present in normal atmospheric composition reach the atmosphere, or are present but in much lower concentrations.Air pollution is the introduction of chemicals, particulate matter, or biological materials that cause harm or discomfort to humans or other living organisms, or cause damage to the natural environment or built environment, into the atmosphere.

More than 3,000 substances that are not part of the atmospheric composition, falling in the atmosphere can be considered air pollutants.

Some substances that are normally present in the atmosphere in a certain concentration can be considerate pollutants because their concentration is much higher than usual concentration.

Also certain substances that are normally present in certain layers of the atmosphere (e.g. ozone in the stratosphere), once arrived in the troposphere is pollutant.

Some gases, such as oxides of nitrogen may have beneficial effect on vegetation, after hydration may affect the leaf fertilizer.

The air pollutants factors can be chemical (chemicals), mechanics (particles in suspension) physical (ionizing radiation) and acoustic (noise).

Besides Darwin, the theory of evolution by means of natural selection was also independently proposed by:
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

Option A is correct (Alfred Wallace).

Explanation:

Option A is correct (Alfred Wallace).

According to the evolution theory all living species are evolved from a simple life source with the passage of time.

Points of natural selection:

  • Genetic variation are passed from generation to generation but environment can cause variations too.
  • Individuals in species have gene variation which is due to random mutation
  • Those who can not adopt to environment can not have their genes pass to next generation.
  • Natural Selection is also called as "Survival of the fittest".
