In order for a sedimentary rock (made of particles) to form, what must occur?

1 answer:

3 0

First, preexisting rocks must weather/erode, forming the sediment that will eventually form the sedimentary rock. Then, that sediment must settle someplace, and over a long period of time, pressure begins to build. This causes the sediments to become compacted. After a long period of time (and a lot of pressure), the sediments cement together and form a sedimentary rock. In a nutshell, sedimentary rocks form through compaction, cementation, and eventually... lithification.
Hope that helped! <span />

kogti [31]

Answer:

Contraction.

Explanation:

Muscle tissues are defined as they are elastic and extensible in nature. In other words it's also defined as they are able to stretched and returned to its original size and shapes. A unique feature of muscle tissue is they are able of contractile in nature. With the help of this contraction they are able to sliding myosin and actin filaments which are present in muscles tissues.

Basically muscle tissues are three types:

1) Skeletal muscle: They are strong and rapid in contraction.

2) Cardiac muscle: They are strong in contraction.

3) Smooth muscle tissues: They are slow and weak in contraction.

Kyle concludes that the cell must be a plant cell. How does Kyle know that the cell is a plant cell and not an animal cell?

Mnenie [13.5K]

Kile should know the answer because of the morphology (part of biology that studies the estructure and the form of something). The plant cell presents a rectangular form, while the animal's cells presents a round form.

There are other main differences. As their parts and the size. Before I explain that remember that a cell can be of two types eukaryotic (cell with nucleus) and prokaryote (cell with no nucleus). In the other they can be neurons, nefrons, etc...

The plant cell contains for example chloroplasts, cell wall and vascuoles; while animal's don't. Both of them have nucleus, cell plants are generally larger than animals. Those are the main differences.

Thankyou.

Sorry for my bad english, It's not my native language.
