Answer:

The three sand are similar in composition, since all are formed 90% by quartz. They are also similar in roundness, as they all have large particles that allow a very sandy soil with low water retention.

Explanation:

The desert area of the river and the beach have a very similar composition, since 90% of these sands are composed of quartz. however, the similarity does not mean that these sands are the same, as they are not, since the sands of the beach and the river may have a little more material, such as animal remains, making these sands also have carbon in composition, something that desert sand has in less quantity.

In addition, both sands have large particles that promote strong aeration in the soil, but a very rapid loss of organic matter.

Which of the following is evidence that our planet has plate tectonics?
borishaifa [10]
The appropriate answer is B. Chains of volcanoes along ocean coastlines. The theory of plate tectonics states that the earth's crust is divided into plates that float on the semi-molten mantle below. Plates can converge, diverge or slide past each other. Chains of volcanoes along coastlines are evidence of plates converging with one plate subducting beneath the other. The subducting plate will melt producing magma which is lighter than surrounding rock and so will force its way through cracks and fissures in the surface. Once magma reaches the earth's surface, volcanoes are formed.
