Answer:Please find answers below.

Explanation:

1. Since the rock had different sediments with some of its layers containing marine fossils, then it is a Sedimentary rock which can be either shale, limestone or sandstone.

2.We can say the rock was formed the same way a sedimentary roc is formed . This happens when agents of erosion and weathering ( air, water) disintegrate a rock and carries the sediments from the source area ( in this case from  the  marine area)to another area usually referred to as area of deposition which over time accumulates and solidify to form a layered rock with marine fossils.

3. A sedimentary rock can either transform to an igneous rock or a metamorphic rock

From Sedimentary to Metamorphic--------> Metamorphic rocks are formed when rocks change their form  which is due to pressure and temperature build up in the rocks. Now, when a sedimentary rock exerts pressure and heat  within its structured layer,  it can lead to a change in its structure forming a metamorphic rock.

From Sedimentary to Igneous Rock----->Igneous rocks are formed from molten  magma.  Now when there is a volcanic eruption around an area with sedimentary rocks, it melts the rocks and changes thier form and on cooling the rocks transforms to Igneous rock.

Three codes of ethics to reduce carbon footprint
g100num [7]

First is to ensure that every law related to environmental preservation must be followed aside from keeping the responsibilities duly delegated to have a sustainable impact on the environment.

 

Second is to ensure that your employees know the different consequences of their occupation pursuits which can then lessen their carbon footprint.

 

Third is to take the initiative to walk instead of drive. Walking to and from destinations may help decrease the carbon footprint that you make.
