Answer:They would become igneous rocks

Explanation:

If originally, sedimentary rocks are exposed to energy from the sun, no changes will occur to them.

One will hardly spot any difference in their mineralogical composition as such.

The temperature of the sun does not any significant alteration on earth materials.

The heat from the interior has a very significant effect on rocks, especially sedimentary rocks.

Heat from the interior can reach a staggering 6000°C which is more than enough to cause a metamorphic change in a body rock.

In fact, at this temperature, igneous rock will be produced from the sedimentary rock.

Which of the following statements best characterizes how developed and developing countries impact the environment?
vampirchik [111]

Answer:

Both developed and developing countries have had significant negative impacts on the environment.

Explanation:

The environment has been very badly affected by human activity. The negative effect has been present for a very long time, progressively becoming more and more serious, but since the start of the Industrial Revolution it has exponentially increased and the effects have been horrific. While there are differences between the impact of developed and developing countries, the fact is that both have had significant negative impacts.

The now developed countries were actually the first ones to start with massive impact on the environment, which was a result of the usage of fossil fuels, rapid economic growth, and constantly growing demand for natural resources. The developing countries have started off later with their massive impact, but it has had the same results. While the developed countries are turning a page and try to be as environmentally friendly as possible, that is not the case with the developing countries that try to become developed. To put it simply, The forests that were destroyed in the UK several hundred years ago are not getting back, and the forests that were recently destroyed and still are getting destroyed in Indonesia will not just come back, at least not with the current trends.

A company wants to build new oceanfront housing near an estuary. The company wants to fill a saltwater marsh with dirt and cemen
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]
Its a bad idea, because you are taking the saltwater marsh away from the ecosystem... And turning it into a cement covered ground, for more houses... Then the animals (or other things) that live there, will die... and have to find another place to live...
 ~therefore... The bad thing is, that they shouldnt fill the marsh with dirt, and cement... Because bad things could happen to the creatures that already live there.
