Sedimentary rocks form by breaking down other kinds of rocks into small particles and washing or blowing them away; metamorphic rocks form from other rocks and igneous rocks form by melting other rocks. Thus rocks are always changing form and are redistributted as part of a giant cycle of renewal.

Answer:

Sedimentary rocks are formed on or near the Earth’s surface, in contrast to metamorphic and igneous rocks, which are formed deep within the Earth. The most important geological processes that lead to the creation of sedimentary rocks are erosion, weathering, dissolution, precipitation, and lithification.

Erosion and weathering include the effects of wind and rain, which slowly break down large rocks into smaller ones. Erosion and weathering transform boulders and even mountains into sediments, such as sand or mud. Dissolution is a form of weathering—chemical weathering. With this process, water that is slightly acidic slowly wears away stone. These three processes create the raw materials for new, sedimentary rocks.

Answer:

upper portion (6000ft - 6500 ft)

Explanation:

From the information given:

This activity involves exploring the Zion National Park geology. To achieve this, we need to download the Zion file & open it in Gougle Earth. This is followed by setting the vertical exaggeration to 0.5 & the measurement to feet/miles. The perspective view is also changed to a map view. Now, as viewed in Gougle Earth, the upper portion which is white in nature appears to be steeper than the lower portions. To the Toquerville, the area towards it is remarkably flat with slight undulations.

What does the future look like for water supplies, and what energy challenges does desalination face as a solution? (Site 1)
dusya [7]

Global water supply is currently a troubling issue. The world's population size is steadily increasing, without the increase in water supply, leaving many to fear an impending shortage.

Freshwater is not evenly distributed across the globe and desalination of water is one solution put forth, but it also comes with its own challenges such as: being very expensive, requiring large amounts of energy, harsh impact on marine life, water being a commodity controlled by large corporations, and emissions having a harsh effect on environments.
