Answer:

Sedimentary rocks are types of rock that are formed by the accumulation or deposition of mineral or organic particles at the Earth's surface, followed by cementation. Sedimentation is the collective name for processes that cause these particles to settle in place. The particles that form a sedimentary rock are called sediment, and may be composed of geological detritus (minerals) or biological detritus (organic matter). The geological detritus originated from weathering and erosion of existing rocks, or from the solidification of molten lava blobs erupted by volcanoes. The geological detritus is transported to the place of deposition by water, wind, ice or mass movement, which are called agents of denudation. Biological detritus was formed by bodies and parts (mainly shells) of dead aquatic organisms, as well as their fecal mass, suspended in water and slowly piling up on the floor of water bodies (marine snow). Sedimentation may also occur as dissolved minerals precipitate from water solution.

Producers obtain energy from photosynthesis as they are the plants, bacteria, and algae that form the initial layer of energy transfer. Producers then transfer a percentage of energy to first tier consumers (herbivores/omnivores).

Which area of the world was hardest hit by the spread of the bubonic plague in the 1300s?
jeka94

The region that was hit the hardest by the bubonic plague in the 1300's was the Mediterranean region.

Big portions of Europe had big losses when this disease came to the European soil, but the Mediterranean region, on European, Asian, and African soil, was hit the hardest and had the biggest losses in human lives. The body didn't had a defense system for this disease nor do the medics of the period had a solution for it, so once someone got it, it meant that the person is destined to die in a matter of days.
