Sandra is an avid hiker. She’s found three rocks while hiking near the Camden Gorge. Help her identify which type of rocks they

are based on the descriptions.
It is an igneous rock that
was formed above
Earth’s surface.

It is a metamorphic rock that
experienced tremendous heat
and pressure due to massive,
moving tectonic plates.
It is a sedimentary rock made
primarily from lithification of
organic material.

Rock A looks like it was molded
like clay and stretched from both
the sides. Its surface is covered
with a pattern of wavy,
elongated stripes.


Rock B looks like a bunch of
shells that were glued together
with sand. A few pieces of broken
pebbles poke out near its edges.


Rock C has a smooth, glassy
texture. It has no visible
crystals. It is a piece of
solidified magma.

Rock A = It is a metamorphic rock that  experienced tremendous heat  and  pressure due to massive,  moving tectonic plates.

Metamorphic rocks are rocks that have been somewhat squished and transformed by heat and pressure. These rocks often have different layers as the rocks go through pressure and are literally look like rocks that have been piled up and then stuck together. The best indicator of this rock being a metamorphic rock is the wavy elongated stripes. The stripes are created from the different rock elements being pressed together over time.

Rock B = It is a sedimentary rock made  primarily from lithification of  organic material.

Sedimentary rocks are rocks that have been formed by different substances that come together due to the different weather conditions. The best indicator of this being a sedimentary rock is how the rock came together and looks like a bunch of shells were glued together.

Rock C = It is an igneous rock that  was formed above  Earth’s surface.

Most igneous rocks have smooth outer layers. These rocks are often made with solidified magma from volcanoes. The best indicator of this being an igneous rock is the indication of it being a solidified piece of magma.

Which statement correctly describes the nuclear envelope of a eukaryotic cell? See Concept 6.3 (Page 102) View Available Hint(s)
netineya [11]

The correct answer is: The nuclear envelope is continuous with the endoplasmic reticulum

The nuclear envelope or nuclear membrane is composed of two phospholipid bilayers (outer and inner) that surround the nucleus in the eukaryotic cell. The space between the outer and inner membranes is called the perinuclear space. The nuclear envelop has nuclear pores that are responsible for the transport between nucleus and cytoplasm (e.g. transport of mRNA).

What is the source of oxygen in the epipelagic zone?
Rudiy27

The correct answer is (B) Photosynthesis and diffusion from the air

Dissolved oxygen enters the water from photosynthesis and through air. The The aeration of water can be caused by wind. From the air oxygen diffuse into the water and gets mixed in the it through circulation. The oxygen is also produced as a waste product of photosynthesis from blue-green algae, phytoplankton, etc which is added in water.

Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

No it is not a scientific theory.

Explanation:

An explanation of any aspect of the natural phenomenon of the world that can be tested several times and well supported by the evidence, and follows the scientific method. Furthermore known as scientific theory.

Presently, a logical hypothesis must meet a few rules, and one of those is that it must be upheld by a few (and free) strands of proof.  

For this situation, we have just one hypothesis, that bulldogs are great pet and Meatball is great among bulldogs, and it isn't sufficient, at that point it can not be a scientific theory.

Answer:

True to some extent...

Explanation:

We can use bio-informatical tools like MEGA to see that to what extent an amino acid sequence shares ancestry with the other one. But these tools are based on statistical methods and mathematical modelling that make them unreliable as compared to the real world observations.
