(1) Plate tectonics envisions the Earth divided into dozens of lithospheric plates that move about and interact with one another
in ways that cause earthquakes, create major features of continents and ocean basins (like volcanoes, mountain belts, ocean ridges, and trenches). There were three major settings given. The first two types include a convergent boundary and a divergent boundary. The third setting is: (a) subduction zone boundaries (b) mid-ocean ridge boundaries (c) transform boundaries (d) linear zones
The three main configurations of the tectonic plates are the divergent limits, convergent limits and transform boundary.
Transform boundary occurs when two plates move towards each other, colliding and forming cracks in both. These cracks do not cause the destruction of these plates, so it does not promote the creation of other plates, but it does cause flaws, which can even generate flaws on the earth's surface. An example of this occurred with the Pacific plates and the North American plate that caused the San Andres fault in California.
The layers constitute fossils, calcium carbonate rocks
Explanation:
Limestone is a biologic sedimentary rock and is formed by the collection of shells and debris. It can also be formed by the chemical process of sedimentary and precipitation of calcium carbonate.
The limestone is composed of calcium carbonate, calcite, feldspar, and Quartz. Limestone represents karst topography and consists of the chemical composition of clay, iron, feldspar, and quartz. These are arranged in layers.
