Name two geographic obstacles and one political obstacle that stood in the way of the construction of the Panama Canal.
Answer: The two geographic obstacles that stood in the way of the construction of the Panama Canal was that Panama was very mountainous, and there were a lot of mud slides. One political obstacle was that Panama was part of Colombia. The united states had to negotiate with Colombia before Panama became independent. Engineers had to build a dam, design and build locks, and remove huge amounts of earth and rock in order to overcome the geographical obstacles.
I hope it helps, Regards.
Answer:
Sedimentary rocks are formed on or near the Earth's surface, in contrast to metamorphic and igneous rocks, which are formed deep within the Earth. The most important geological processes that lead to the creation of sedimentary rocks are erosion, weathering, dissolution, precipitation and lithification.

Answer:
A. Rock is heated near the core at Point A, and therefore becomes less dense. It rises towards Point B. As it moves from Point B to Point C, it is cooled and becomes denser, so it sinks at Point D.
Explanation:
The process illustrated is a convection current, something seen places like the earth's mantle and atmosphere. The hotter matter gets, the more excited its molecules become and the more they become expanded and distant from each other. (Bear in mind that there is the same amount of matter but it takes up more space, i.e. less dense). This is because the molecules are excited by the thermal energy and bounce off each other, pushing them apart.
Cold, closer to the surface (or outer space in terms of air), in turn causes the matter to shrink back into itself, which leads to the increase in density that causes it to sink and repeats the process.
