Explanation:

Here is the explanation about these layers.

Limestone: This rock is formed from sediments that gather on the river floor over time & Limestone is mostly found in rivers, caves, etc. This resource is made from natural activity, for example, sediments travelling through the river & the water causing it to settle.

Banded-iron formations: This rock, or resource, is thought to be made in the seawater millions of years ago and is the result of oxygen production from a particular type of photosynthetic cyanobacteria. The oxygen, combined with dissolved iron makes this resource.

A metamorphic rock with fine grains:  I cannot explain how this rock is made from, please find someone who can.

Red Beds:  "Red beds may form during diagenesis. The key to this mechanism is the intrastriatal alteration of ferromagnesian silicates by oxygenated groundwaters during burial. " - Wikipedia

Chert Layers:  Chert can form when microcrystals of silicon dioxide grow within soft sediments that will become limestone or chalk.

I hope this has helped you to learn about these rocks.

In general, countries that were European colonies in the 1940s have __________.
Tom [10]

Answer: ...have obtained independence during post-war period (during 1950s, 1960s and 1970s).

Explanation: we have to include Dutch (Surinam for example), French (Algeria or Vietnam), Belgian (Kongo-Kinshassa) or Portuguese (Angola, Mozambique) colonies. This process included return of white-Europeans colonists back to Europe: the biggest return was that of Algerian French (Pieds-Noirs) and later (not so big) European whites from Portuguese territories (1974-1975-1976).

How are lowland areas, like the Amazon River Basin, important in Latin America?
alexandr402 [8]

The lowland areas of Latin America are very important because of multiple reasons. The majority of the agriculture and farming of animals is taking place in the areas like this, so the food sector is directly connected with them. On top of the agricultural production, these lowlands produce a lot of food on their own. The industries that use as their main material also are directly dependent on these lowlands, as they are mostly covered with numerous types of high quality tropical tree species. There's thousands of species of plants that are used in the medicine, so the pharmacies are also very dependent on them. All in all, these lowlands managed to contribute a lot in the economy, health, and general well being of the Latin American countries.
