There are many things that can be read from ripple marks in sedimentary rocks. To start, a geologist looks at: the types (sizes, composition, shapes) of grains in the rock, the height of the “waves”, the distance between peaks (highs) and troughs (lows), whether the rock seems to be lying in its original position, and the internal shapes of the ripples (by looking at the edges of broken pieces). They also seek to determine the age of the rock and information about other rocks lying below and above the specific rock.
Xylem are tubes in the stem that transport water and minerals upward, from the roots to the leaves. Phloem are tubes in the stem that move food made in the leaves to other parts of the plant. ... Chlorophyll is a pigment that helps plants use energy from the sun to produce sugars.
