Social Studies
1 answer:
Lapatulllka [165]3 years ago
8 0

Answer : The remains of dead plants and animals settle to the bottom of an ocean or lake and are covered by mud. Pressure eventually forms these layers into rock.

-

Why? : Basically sedimentary rocks are formed in low temperature, the pressure is low so the remains of any dead plants don't burn or get destroyed.

Igneous rocks form from molten rock and don't really get much fossils in them,

Metamorphic rocks has been under great pressure which fossils would not be able to survive in.

What evidence argues most strongly against social learning theorists' claims that observational learning is a key causal factor
meriva

The social learning theory was developed by Albert Bandura and it is based on the idea that individuals learn by observing other people, their attitudes, behaviors and outcome of their behaviors. The evidence that argues most strongly is that on an adult personality, the effects of shared environment are non-existent or possibly very weak.

List five ways water is stored as it passes through the water cycle.
Aleksandr [31]
The water cycle has no starting point. But, we'll begin in the oceans, since that is where most of Earth's water exists. The sun, which drives the water cycle, heats water in the oceans. Some of it evaporates<span> as vapor into the air. Ice and snow can </span>sublimate<span> directly into water vapor. Rising air currents take the vapor up into the </span>atmosphere<span>, along with water from </span>evapo-transpiration<span>, which is water transpired from plants and evaporated from the soil. The vapor rises into the air where cooler temperatures cause it to </span>condense<span> into clouds. Air currents move clouds around the globe, cloud particles collide, grow, and fall out of the sky as </span>precipitation<span>. Some precipitation falls as snow and can accumulate as </span>ice caps and glaciers<span>, which can store frozen water for thousands of years. Snow packs in warmer climates often thaw and melt when spring arrives, and the melted water flows overland as </span>snow melt<span>. Most precipitation falls back into the oceans or onto land, where, due to gravity, the precipitation flows over the ground as </span>surface runoff<span>. A portion of runoff enters rivers in valleys in the landscape, with </span>stream flow<span> moving water towards the oceans. Runoff, and groundwater seepage, accumulate and are </span>stored as freshwater<span> in lakes. Not all runoff flows into rivers, though. Much of it soaks into the ground as </span>infiltration<span>. Some water infiltrates deep into the ground and replenishes </span>aquifers<span> (saturated subsurface rock), which store huge amounts of freshwater for long periods of time. Some infiltration stays close to the land surface and can seep back into surface-water bodies (and the ocean) as </span>groundwater discharge<span>, and some ground water finds openings in the land surface and emerges as freshwater </span>springs<span>. Over time, though, all of this water keeps moving, some to reenter the ocean, where the water cycle "ends" ... oops - I mean, where it "begins." Hope this helped!!</span>
