Answer:

Option (C)

Explanation:

Sedimentary rocks are formed due to the compaction and lithification sediments. For example, mudstone, sandstone, and shale.

Metamorphic rocks are those rocks that are formed when a sedimentary/igneous/other metamorphic rocks undergo changes in the pressure and the temperature conditions. Temperature and pressure are the main factors here. For example, slate, phyllite, schist, and gneiss.

Mudstone is a sedimentary rock that can convert into a fine-grained and foliated metamorphic rock called slate due to the increase in the temperature and pressure.

Hence, the correct answer is option (C).

C is the answer.

Metamorphic rocks is when a rock changes under time and lots of pressure.

Sedimentary is rocks made of sediment.

Igneous rocks are rocks that are made of magma.

Knowing this, C is closest to the definition of metamorphic rocks.

Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

The outermost shell of a terrestrial planet is referred to as "crust." The Earth's crust is separated into two types: continental crust, which is older and thicker, and oceanic crust, which is younger and denser. Plate tectonics influences the dynamic geology of the Earth's crust. The outermost shell of a terrestrial planet is referred to as "crust."

The mantle is the layer immediately beneath the sima. With a thickness of 1800 miles, it is the Earth's thickest layer. The mantle is made up of extremely hot and thick rock. Under the weight of a huge load, this layer of granite even flows like asphalt. The flow is caused by large temperature differences between the mantle's bottom and top. The movement of the Earth's plates is due to the movement of the mantle! The mantle's temperature ranges from 1600 degrees Fahrenheit near the top to about 4000 degrees Fahrenheit near the bottom!

The sense of smell is different from the other senses in that its sensory pathways are ____________________________.
9966 [12]
The olfactory system is involved in the sense of smell. The receptors of smell are not routed through the thalamus. The signals id directly routed from the olfactory bulb to the olfactory cortex and thalamus is not contacted in between. This is the difference between the taste and smell receptors, although both of their receptors are stimulated from mucus/saliva in the mouth.

When a plant or animal is injured, where will it get the raw materials that it needs to repair itself?
Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

Many animals and plants regenerate tissues or even whole organs after injury. Typically, specialized cells at the wound site revert to a 'pluripotent' state–via a process called dedifferentiation—which means they regain the ability to develop into the various cell types required for regeneration.
