Sandstone, limestone, and conglomerate cobbles are found in a streambed in New York State where the surrounding bedrock is compo

sed of shales and siltstones. The most likely explanation for the presence of these cobbles is that they were
weathered from the surrounding bedrock

formed when shale and siltstone bedrock were eroded

transported to this area from another region

metamorphosed from shale and siltstone

Answer: transported to this area from another region

Explanation:

The surrounding area is made of shale and siltstones so the sandstone and limestone could not have formed in that area because they have different structures.

The sandstone and limestone as well as the conglomerate cobbles must therefore have been transported to this streambed from another area where they are able to form. They probably got to this area as a result of water erosion.

En Uganda el 16% de la población es urbana y el 84% rural ¿que inplicaciones de relevancia social tiene esto?
Serggg [28]

Answer:

El país depende de la agricultura.

Explicación:

En Uganda, el 16% de la población es urbana y el 84% rural, las implicaciones sociales de esta proporción de poblaciones son malas para la economía porque más personas viven en las aldeas relacionadas con la agricultura y menos personas viven en las ciudades significa que menos personas trabaja en las industrias y oficinas. Debido a que hay menos gente en las zonas urbanas y más en las zonas rurales, el país todavía depende de la agricultura en comparación con las industrias, lo que conduce a una mala situación económica del país.

Describe the composition of igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks
DerKrebs [107]

Igneous rocks -

1. texture, can be smooth, fine-grained, coarse-grained, glassy, or porphyritic.

2. origin, geologists use this to study to know where it was found, like it could be formed by hardened magma under the earth's surface.

3. mineral composition, some of these rocks had other minerals that help us find all the exact minerals. (like a tree diagram)

Sedimentary Rocks-

1. the only rocks with fossils, trace fossils, or sedimentary features.

2. composed of strata (layer) or laminations (bed)

3. sedimentary rocks have grains instead of crystals.

4. Metamorphism destroys fossil evidence and lava destroys its organic material before the fossilation can take place.

Metamorphic Rocks-

1. rarely have fossils & they are classified by these textures and compositions

2. they can react with acid. may or may not have a curved or bent foliation

3. can be formed w/ only one mineral & they rarely have pores or openings.
