Answer:

igneous rock CAN become sedimentary rock through a process called ROCK CYCLE.

Explanation:

Rocks can be defined as solid structures of minerals that are formed naturally over a period of time. They are grouped into three main types which includes the following:

- igneous rock

- sedimentary rocks and

- metamorphic rocks.

Rocks are capable of transforming from one type to another through a process known as rock cycle. There are two forces that brings about this process which includes:

- The internal force : this is the Earth’s internal heat engine, which moves material around in the core and the mantle and leads to slow but significant changes within the crust.

- The external force: this is the the hydrological cycle, which is the movement of water, ice, and air at the surface, and is powered by the sun.

Molten magma cools to form either extrusive igneous rock or intrusive igneous rock. With time they undergo weathering, eroded, transported, and then deposited as sediments which are being compressed and cemented into SEDIMENTARY ROCKS. Again through the above mentioned forces, different kinds of rocks are either uplifted, to be re-eroded, or buried deeper within the crust where they are heated up, squeezed, and changed into METAMORPHIC ROCK.

Therefore the material in this sedimentary rock found in Rhombus planet used to be in igneous rock deep in Rhombus's interior due to continuous rock cycling on the planet. I hope this helps, thanks.

Explanation:

“The basic principle of mass spectrometry (MS) is to generate ions from either inorganic or organic compounds by any suitable method, to separate these ions by their mass-to-charge ratio (m/z) and to detect them qualitatively and quantitatively by their respective m/z and abundance

How many moles of gold are equivalent to 1.204 × 1024 atoms?
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Explanation:

It is known that the value of Avogadro's number is 6.022 \times 10^{23}.

Therefore, calculate moles of gold atoms as follows.

    Moles of gold atom = \frac{given number of atoms}{Avogadro's number}

                                    = \frac{1.204 \times 10^{24}}{6.022 \times 10^{23}mol^{-1}}

                                    = 0.199 \times 10 mol

                                    = 1.99 mol

Thus, we can conclude that 1.99 mol of gold atoms are equivalent to 1.204 \times 10^{24} atoms.

Soil forms more rapidly in warm, wet areas than in cold, dry areas. study the map figure 9. which soil type on the map would you
vesna_86 [32]
(Probably) Mountain soils because they are in cold temperatures and there is chemical weathering and erosion causing the soil to have a more difficult environment to form in.
