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.

Describe<br> 2. What is the structure of Earth's atmosphere?
sergejj [24]

The atmosphere consists of 4 layers: the troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, and thermosphere. The troposphere is the lowest layer of the atmosphere. This is the layer where we live and where weather happens. Temperature in this layer generally decreases with height. The boundary between the stratosphere and the troposphere is called the tropopause. Above the tropopause lies the stratosphere. In this layer the temperature increases with height. This is because the stratosphere houses the ozone layer. The ozone layer is warm because it absorbs ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun. The mesosphere is the layer above the stratosphere.This layer also contains ratios of nitrogen and oxygen similar to the troposphere, except the concentrations are 1000 times less and there is little water vapor there, so the air is too thin for weather to occur. The thermosphere is the uppermost layer of the atmosphere. In this layer the temperature increases with height because it is being directly heated by the sun.

I got this info from North Carolina Climate Office.

Hope this helps!!

Why do you think that people of every nationality and ethnicity live in Hong Kong (At least 3 sentences in your own words).
rusak2 [61]

Despite Hong Kong historically being part of China and being inhabited by Chinese people, that drastically happened in the last century. Hong Kong got into the hands of the European colonial powers, and even after they left the area, they didn't left Hong Kong. The reason why the presence in Hong Kong was kept was because of its excellent strategic position.

The newly formed nation had excellent ports and excellent location. It was quickly industrialized. That led to rapid economic growth. The economic growth and the prosperity of the small nation made, as well as it deep connections with the Western World, attracted lot of people to move in it. The Chinese population is still dominant, but over time people from all over the world moved in, thus the ethnic structure of this nation changes significantly, to a point where now it has citizens from pretty much every corner of the world.
