e listed on the right side. In each box, write the appropriate type of rock. Explain how the composition of the Earth’s atmosphere caused changes to form the different rocks over time.
A - Limestone Layers
B - Banded-iron formations
C - Metamorphic rock with fine grains
D - Red Beds
E - Chert layers

Explanation:

Here is the explanation about these layers.

Limestone: This rock is formed from sediments that gather on the river floor over time & Limestone is mostly found in rivers, caves, etc. This resource is made from natural activity, for example, sediments travelling through the river & the water causing it to settle.

Banded-iron formations: This rock, or resource, is thought to be made in the seawater millions of years ago and is the result of oxygen production from a particular type of photosynthetic cyanobacteria. The oxygen, combined with dissolved iron makes this resource.

A metamorphic rock with fine grains:  I cannot explain how this rock is made from, please find someone who can.

Red Beds:  "Red beds may form during diagenesis. The key to this mechanism is the intrastriatal alteration of ferromagnesian silicates by oxygenated groundwaters during burial. " - Wikipedia

Chert Layers:  Chert can form when microcrystals of silicon dioxide grow within soft sediments that will become limestone or chalk.

I hope this has helped you to learn about these rocks.

How might you use hard candy to model how magma forms new rock?
Gnom [1K]

Answer: When magma cools, it hardens to form igneous rock. How they figure it out: They observe rock samples and explore the Simulation, finding different ways to make rock form. They model the formation of sedimentary rocks using hard candy, and view a video showing igneous rock formation as magma cools.

On which of the planets (other than Earth) could a human being step out of a spacecraft and survive without any protective gear
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

There isn´t other planet on which we could survive unprotected

Explanation:

Still no other planet has been found that has an atmosphere capable of retaining oxygen and decreasing solar radiation so that the person does not need as much oxygen equipment as a special suit to avoid the different types of raciations that can reach the planet .

It is also believed that it is possible to find on a future planet similar to Earth in which you can live without protection.
