Answer:

30% of calcareous material is needed to make an ooze.

Explanation:

The calcareous ooze is one of the distinct and common types of pelagic sediments that are mainly comprised of about 30% of calcareous substances, and that is very fine-grained in nature. These are dominant in calcareous shells, that are mostly the shells of coccoliths and foraminiferous, and are typically intermixed with the mud and clay. These are the most common type of pelagic sediments, that covers nearly 50% of the seafloor, including the abyssal plain.

Therefore, 30% of the total composition is required in order to make an ooze.

Even though chestnuts can regrow from their roots, this does not usually happen because
Olenka [21]

Answer: New growth is stricken with the blight before it has the chance to mature.

Explanation:

American Chestnut trees can indeed regrow from their roots but due to the devastating effect of the chestnut blight, they have been unable to do this since the blight spread across the country.

The blight was introduced when Chinese chestnut trees were imported into the U.S. in the 20th century. It killed off most of the chestnut trees in the U.S. and attacks the tree again when it grows to around 6 meters bringing it down to its roots. This is why the American Chestnut is considered endangered.
