Geological settings whereby there is melting of rock as well as formation of sediments can be attributed to Plate tectonics .

Plate tectonics can be regarded as  theory which explained the Earth's outer shell and how its been divided into solid rocks as well as slabs and its often referred to as Plate.

  • Plate tectonics explained that there is a large-scale motion  plates which   Earth's lithosphere is made up.
  • Tectonic processes started about 3.3 and 3.5 billion years ago.
  • Through the generation of Tectonic plate, there are melting of rocks as well as generation of sediments
  • The types of boundaries that exist between those tectonic plates can be categorized into 4, base on the the movement of the plates, and these are;
  1. divergent boundaries
  2. convergent boundaries
  3. transform fault boundaries
  4. plate boundary zones

Therefore, plate tectonic  gives explanation about Earth's outer shell.

The proximate reason for the uptake by plants of nutrients like ammonium nitrate is?
Blizzard [7]

The proximate reason for the uptake by plants of nutrients like ammonium nitrate is homeostatis

<h3>What is homeostasis?</h3>

Homeostasis refers to an organism's ability to regulate various physiological processes to keep internal states steady and balanced.

<h3>How does plant perform homeostatis?</h3>

As water leaves the plant tissues into the atmosphere, it takes energy with it in the form of heat.

Much like when we sweat, this allows the plant to cool and maintain homeostasis.

Similarly, the same process allows plants to  absorb nutrient like ammonium nitrate.

Thus, the proximate reason for the uptake by plants of nutrients like ammonium nitrate is homeostatis.
