The sedimentary rock in question is sandstone.
Sandstone is a clastic sedimentary rock made up mostly of weathering sand size debris that accumulates where the waters are slower.
Sandstone is formed by all of the processes named above.
-weathering of the rocks
-erosion caused by water and wind
-transportation by water bodies
-deposition by the water masses where they are slower
-lithification under the pressure
-compactation while mixing with multiple other sediments.
Answer:
Closely related; characteristics.
Explanation:
Taxonomy can be defined as the process of naming, classification and description of living organisms such as plants and animals.
Hence, two organisms that share several classification levels will be closely related and have many characteristics in common such as number of legs, eyes, etc.
Answer:
Drilling companies drill vertically down to the desired distance and drill horizontally into the shale. They then use hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, to loosen up the rock enough to get the gas out.

Answer:
C. It produces a magnetic field around the Earth.
Explanation:
Core is the innermost part of the earth that contains mainly iron and nickel in molten form (under very high temperature and pressure). The density of core is higher than mantle. Because of presence of iron and nickel, it produces a magnetic field around the earth.
This magnetic field forms the magnetosphere of the Atmosphere and this protects the Earth from the Sun flares and the Solar winds from the Sun. Had this magnetosphere been absent the Earth could have been burnt.
