Shale, and Sandstone are the rocks formed by precipitation of calcium carbonate from sea water.

Option B and D

Explanation:

Calcium carbonate can get precipitated from sea water and it forms rocks termed as limestones. These limestones are a variety of sedimentary rocks. Along with it, shale and sandstones are also varieties of sedimentary rocks and they also contain some of the precipitation of calcium carbonate.

The composition of sandstones consists of quartz and feldspar along with some of the composition of calcium carbonate. The same concept goes for Shale also. Basically, Shale is a mixuture of Clay but they can combine with limestone.

Thus, Shale, Sandstone and limestones are the rocks formed by precipitation of calcium carbonate from sea water.

a. one carbon and one oxygen?

Answer:

(1) Carbon + (1) Oxygen = Carbon monoxide (CO)

Explanation:

Carbon monoxide (CO), an odorless, colorless gas, which can cause sudden illness and death, is produced any time a fossil fuel is burned.

b. one carbon and two oxygen?

Answer:

(1) Carbon + (2) Oxygen = Carbon dioxide (CO2)

Explanation:

a colorless, odorless gas produced by burning carbon and organic compounds and by respiration. It is naturally present in air (about 0.03 percent) and is absorbed by plants in photosynthesis.

c. one carbon and four chlorine?

Answer:

(1) Carbon + (4) Chlorine = Carbon tetrachloride (CCl4)

Explanation:

Carbon Tetrachloride is a clear, colorless, volatile and very stable chlorinated hydrocarbon. Carbon Tetrachloride is used as a solvent for oils and fats, as a refrigerant and as a dry-cleaning agent. Inhalation of its vapors can depress central nervous system activity and cause degeneration of the liver and kidneys. Carbon Tetrachloride is reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen based on evidence of carcinogenicity in experimental animals.

What type of wave do the contractions of the snake muscles make as the snake moves forward

S_A_V [24]

Actually, there are four kinds of reptile motion:

Concertina - vermiform. Circular muscles around the snake squeeze the front of the snake's body out long, then the latter half is pulled forward.

Rectilinear crawling - Belly scutes are moved forward individually in a wave-like motion.

Side-winding - Snake's version of "walking". Use by several species to move over fluidic substrates, such as sand.

Lateral undulation - Most common form of movement. Snake presses on alternating pressure points to force body forward (or backward)

The green areas on the diagram show the world's rainforests. What can you conclude about the location of rainforests?

Ber [7]

Answer:

Option A

They are located near the equator

Explanation:

From the diagram, we can observe that all the rain forest zones occur near the equator.

This is because on an annual basis, the equator receives the highest concentration of solar radiation in the whole Earth. This implies that the rate of evaporation of water from the water bodies present is high, and consequently, the amount of rainfall is high also. This abundant sunshine and high rainfall leads to the growth of the tropical rain forests at those regions

How does the comic strip define a polar molecule

zmey [24]

The answer is: A molecule with a difference in electrical charge between two ends.

Electronegativity (χ) is a property that describes the tendency of an atom to attract a shared pair of electrons.

Atoms with higher electronegativity attracts more electrons towards it, electrons are closer to that atom.

For example fluorine has electronegativity approximately χ = 4 and oxygen χ = 3,5, fluorine attracts electron and he has negative charge and oxygen has positive charge.
