You didn't provide a lot of information so I did some research on your question. If this context looks right then this is the answer! :D

Question that I think you got:

"A geologist finds a metamorphic rock and notices that it has grains that formed in parallel layers. The geologist pries at the rock, and it splits apart along the bands formed by the layers.

<em>Which type of rock did the geologist most likely find?</em>

gneiss

limestone

marble

sandstone"

Answer:

Gneiss

Explanation:

Metamorphic rocks are classified based on their grain arrangement into foliated rocks and non-foliated rocks. These foliated rocks are the ones in which the grains are arranged in parallel layers bands which allows them to split apart along these band. Some common examples of foliated metamorphic rocks are slate, schist, and gneiss which gives us our answer of geniss. (some of the answer from "podgorica" on Brainly)

Read the passage "Easter Island Palm." Choose the answer below that best fits the problem on Easter Island.

EASTER ISLAND PALM

In the 1400s, the Easter Island palm became extinct due to overharvesting. Reproduction was nearly impossible because islanders introduced rats when they first arrived. These rats ate the Easter Island palm seeds, preventing the Easter Island palm from flourishing. With the disappearance of the palm, the islanders could no longer build the boats they needed for fishing.

a decrease in the temperature, leading to decreased biodiversity

What is the fifth type of interaction between species?

zhenek [66]

Answer:

The five types of interactions between species are

1) Competition: In such a type of interaction, organisms interact by competing for resources such as water, food resources, shelter etc.

2) Predation: In such a type of interaction, organisms of a species known as predators feed on organisms of the other species known as prey. For example, a lion feeding on a deer.

3) Commensalism: In such a type of interaction, an organism of a species benefits from the other organisms and the other organisms neither gains benefit nor loss. For example, Tree frogs using plants for protecting themselves from predators.

4) Mutualism: In this type of interaction, both the organisms of different species gain benefit from each other. For example, insects carry pollen when they move from one plant to another and in turn they use plant as a source of food.

5) Parasitism: It is a type of interaction in which one organism benefits whereas the other one is harmed. For example, Malaria is caused by anopheles mosquito feeding on the blood of humans.
