Answer: Limestone is a sedimentary rock.

Explanation:

1. Limestone is a carbonate sedimentary rock made up of calcite(CaCO₃).This rock type forms calcareous shells and tests of organisms that was deposited in a sedimentary basin.

Limestone is used in building and construction works. It also finds application in chemical industries.

2. Over a long period of time, we would take a look at the rock "limestone" through the rock cycle.

Limestone being a sedimentary rock would be converted to marble, a metamorphic rock if subjected to metamorphic conditions over an extensive period of time. With series of metamorphic transformation, marble can grade to higher metamorphic facies of rocks as it combines with other minerals in the crust. The minerals would eventually change and as the changed rock approaches its melting temperature, melt would result.

From the other spectrum, limestone can be weathered if subjected extensively to denudation forces such as wind, water and glaciation. Water is more potent for the chemical weathering of limestone. Limestone would easily and readily dissolve in it over a long period of time.

Shaun's doctor has recommended that he consume 200 calories of protein a day. Shaun consumed 176 calories of protein in one day.
evablogger [386]

Answer:  Shaun must consume 6 more g of protein to reach the required amount.

Explanation:

Given : Recommended amount of protein = 200 calories

Now 4 calories = 1 gram of protein

Thus 200 calories = \frac{1}{4}\times 200=50 g of protein.

Calories consumed per day by Shaun = 176 calories

176 calories =  \frac{1}{4}\times 176=44 g of protein.

Thus Shaun need to consume = (50-44) g = 6 of protein to reach the required amount.

Shaun must consume 6 more g of protein to reach the required amount.
