Where do the thickest deposits of terrigenous sediment typically form?

Biology
1 answer:
slavikrds [6]3 years ago
8 0

Answer: D. continental margins near the mouths of rivers

Explanation:

Terrigenous sediments are those that are formed via processes on land as opposed to in water. They result mostly from the erosion of rocks and yet make up 20% of all ocean sediments.

Continental margins near the mouths of rivers contain the thickest deposits of this sediments as they are closest to land which is the source. It is made more convenient by the presence of rivers bringing the sediments to them when the rocks are eroded.

Rock B reacts with hydrochloric acid. State the name of the rock B
choli [55]

Answer:

The sedimentary rock limestone which contains carbonate mineral Calcite and the metamorphic rocks which contain carbonate mineral Aragonite are the examples of rocks which react strongly with hydrochloric acid.

Explanation:

Rocks are naturally occurring structures formed on the Earth's crust and are composed of aggregate minerals. Classification of rocks: Igneous rocks - formed by cooling of magma on Earth's crust or seabed (basalts, gabbros, granite, etc), sedimentary rocks - formed over time by the accumulation of sediments from the weathering of existing rocks or fragments of minerals and organisms (mudstone, sandstone, shale, limestone, dolostone, siltstone, etc) and metamorphic rocks - transformed rocks formed from the existing rocks that are subjected to large pressures and temperatures (schists, gneiss, marble, etc).

The carbonate minerals like calcite, dolomite, aragonite, etc react with hydrochloric acid and release carbon dioxide gas bubbles. Calcite (calcium carbonate), which is found in igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks in a varying proportion reacts strongly with hydrochloric acid. So, the sedimentary rock Limestone which mainly contains calcite react strongly with the acid while Dolostone which mainly contains dolomite (calcium magnesium carbonate) reacts less vigorously. Another carbonate mineral aragonite, found in metamorphic rocks also reacts strongly with hydrochloric acid.
