Mining companies have technology that can detect rock formations underneath Earth’s outer layer. One mining company detects an igneous rock formation underneath Earth’s outer layer. The geologists working for the company wonder if material in this igneous rock used to be sedimentary rock at Earth’s surface. Can material in sedimentary rock become igneous rock? Explain your answer.
When sedimentary rocks are heated to extreme temperatures and pressures, they melt and return to magma. It will cool and solidify over time, eventually becoming igneous rocks.
So. Yes material in sedimentary rock can become igneous rock.
About Sedimentary rocks:
Sedimentary rocks, in contrast to metamorphic and igneous rocks, are formed on or near the surface of the Earth. Erosion, weathering, dissolving, precipitation, and lithification are the most significant geological processes that lead to the formation of sedimentary rocks.
Erosion and weathering refer to the processes through which wind and rain break down large rocks into smaller ones. Boulders and even mountains are worn and eroded into the sand and mud-like deposits.

6. What weather systems impact Oceania?
Answer:
Warm ocean waters provide the energy to fuel storm systems that provide fresh water vital to all living things. Understanding and predicting precipitation is critical to farmers who decide which crops to plant, and how deep, based in part on soil moisture levels. Crop and food prices may increase when weather that is too wet or too dry adversely affects crops.
Like precipitation, extreme heat and cold also affect livestock management.
Weather prediction can be a life-saving tool. Aside from helping people prepare for catastrophic storms, prediction can help citizens and governments anticipate extreme hot and cold temperatures, which may cause death among the elderly.
Water management experts study how much rainfall to anticipate so they can manage reservoir levels and water usage, to ensure everyone has abundant water supplies.

Answer:
The correct answer is D. The state of Montana is about the size of the area of the Amazon that was cleared between 1990 and 2010.
Explanation:
Deforestation is the main problem that threatens the ecological stability of the Amazon jungle, generating through the reduction of forest land contamination, extinction of native species, alteration of ecosystems and many other damages to the environment.
It is calculated that more than 18,000 square kilometers of jungle are cut or burned annually, which, projected over 20 years, gives more than 360,000 square kilometers in which the Amazon jungle has been reduced due to human action. This amount of territory can be compared with the extension of the state of Montana, which has an area that exceeds 380,000 square kilometers.
answer: D
Explanation:
The state of Rondônia in western Brazil — once home to 208,000 square kilometers of forest (about 51.4 million acres), an area slightly smaller than the state of Kansas — has become one of the most deforested parts of the Amazon.
20 percent
That is more than 150 acres lost every minute of every day, and 78 million acres lost every year! More than 20 percent of the Amazon rainforest is already gone, and much more is severely threatened as the destruction continues. It is estimated that the Amazon alone is vanishing at a rate of 20,000 square miles a year.
Threats Facing The Amazon Rainforest
Ranching & Agriculture: Rainforests around the world are continuously cut down to make room for raising crops, particularly soy, and cattle farming. ...
Commercial Fishing: Fish are the main source of food and income for many Amazonian people. ...
Bio-Piracy & Smuggling: ...
Poaching: ...
Damming: ...
Logging: ...
Mining:
The forests are cut down to make way for vast plantations where products such as bananas, palm oil, pineapple, sugar cane, tea and coffee are grown. As with cattle ranching, the soil will not sustain crops for long, and after a few years the farmers have to cut down more rainforest for new plantations.
What changes are occurring to the size of the Amazon rainforest?
Climate change and deforestation could convert the majority of the Amazon rainforest into savanna, with massive impacts on the world's biodiversity and climate.
Deforestation and forest degradation are responsible for around 15% of all greenhouse gas emissions. These greenhouse gas emissions contribute to rising temperatures, changes in patterns of weather and water, and an increased frequency of extreme weather events.
about 100 years
In addition to the carbon release associated with deforestation, NASA has estimated that if deforestation levels proceed, the remaining world's forests will disappear in about 100 years.

The map above shows where people live in the United States. Areas that are darker blue are areas where people live close
together. Areas that are lighter colors are places where people live farther apart. As a geographer, if you were to study where
people live and why they choose to live in these places, which of the six essential elements of geography would you be
using? Explain your answer in at least three sentences.
Answer:
The Uses of Geography
Explanation:
Out of the six essential elements of geography, I would use The Uses of Geography. I would use it to understand why people are living farther in lighter places and why people living in darker places are living closer. In order to do this, I would have to understand the relationships among people, places, and the environment.
Answer:
If I were studying where people live, I might be using the element of geography called “human systems.” I would be learning about where people live and why they do the things they do. I might also be using the element of geography called “the world in spatial terms.” I would be studying locations, and I would be learning about why things happen in some places but not in others.

Why do some countries choose to nationalize natural resources?
Answer:
Explanation:
big number of Latin American countries is poor. So due to the nationalization of resources more income goes to the government. Nationalization also excludes the possibility of resource income benefiting foreign interests. Furthermore, nationalization helps reduce inequality between social layers. When individuals or companies possess resources, there is often a larger income gap between the wealthy and the poor.
Answer:
Many Latin American countries are very poor. When resources are nationalized, more income can go to the government. There are two ways that income is returned to the government. First, resources may be owned by the government, not by individuals. This is common for oil resources in most Latin American countries. Companies must pay high fees to produce the resources and are taxed heavily on profits. Nationalization also prevents resource income from benefiting foreign interests. In the past, foreign companies would exploit resources, and the profits would benefit the foreign power’s economy. Finally, nationalization helps reduce inequality. When private individuals or companies own valuable resources, there is often a larger income gap between the very wealthy and the very poor.

Sometimes people cause earthquakes. We have already discussed explosions in the introduction. In addition, people can induce earthquakes via isostatic adjustments, which are caused by changes in the weight of Earth’s crust. Building structures that weigh down the crust will cause it to slide downward along faults. Conversely, removing earth can make the crust adjust upward. People have also induced earthquakes by changing the hydrostatic pressure in rock pores. Increasing the pore water pressure sometimes reduces friction between rock bodies along a fault, thereby inducing slippage along the fault. On the other hand, reducing pore water pressure can cause rock bodies to shrink, which will also reduce friction along the fault plane. Identify how each human activity can induce an earthquake. Drag the appropriate items into their respective bins. Each item may be used only once.

The seafloor spreading rate of ridges are slower than rises causing the oceanic crust to subside closer to the ridge axis. Every ridge is composed of continental crust.
Question
Mid-ocean ridges are steeper and less broad than rises because:
Group of answer choices
A) the rocks of the mid-ocean ridges are composed of more dense mineral than the rises.
B) the rocks of the mid-ocean ridges are composed of less dense mineral than the rises.
C) The seafloor spreading rate of ridges are faster than rises causing the oceanic crust to subside closer to the ridge axis.
D) The seafloor spreading rate of ridges are slower than rises causing the oceanic crust to subside closer to the ridge axis.
E) Every ridge is composed of continental crust.
Answer:
The correct answer is D.
Explanation:
In volcanic regions, as the molten magma flows out onto the seafloor creating new beds, the faster it flows, the less steep the mid-ocean ridge is. If however, it is slow-flowing, then oceanic lithosphere formed cool closer to the ridge axis thus making it very steep.

which is the biggest country in the world?
Russia is the largest and widest country in the world. Most people live in cities in the west, near the rest of Europe. Russia is governed from Moscow. It is so big that it has 11 time zones. That means when it is breakfast time in the west, it is late afternoon in the east. Also, it would also take you more than 2 months to cross it if you walked nonstop from west to east.
Student Exploration: Building Pangaea Anyone have the answer key to this?
Answer:
Pangea is the name commonly used for the supercontinent, which formed about 300 million years ago and existed in the Paleozoic and Mesozoic before it split into smaller continents about 200 million years ago as a result of plate tectonics. When the continents first merged in Pangea, many mountains were formed, some of which still exist today, such as the Urals or the Antiatlas.
The disintegration of Pangea first gave rise to Gondwana and Laurasia. The further disintegration of Gondwana and Laurasia resulted in the creation of modern continents and islands with a continental crust.
