Answer:

No

Explanation:

Gold is primarily found as a pure, native metal. Sylvanite and calaverite are gold-bearing minerals. Gold is usually found embedded in quartz veins, or placer stream gravel. It is mined in South Africa, the USA (Nevada, Alaska), Russia, Australia, and Canada. Quartz is a type of igneous rock and Sylvanite and calaverite are a type of rare metal, which when heated, leaves behind gold or gold-silver. So, simply put, no, you cannot find gold in sedimentary rocks.

Why do erosional landforms occur more often in the cooler seasons?
Leona [35]
Erosional landforms occur more often in the colder periods of the year because in this parts of the year there's usually more rain, and also there's snow ,and most importantly ice. The rain and snow contribute to the chemical decomposition of the rocks, while the ice with it's pressure contributes to the physical decomposition of the rocks, by literary increasing it's volume inside the cracks of the rocks and break them from the inside.
