Why are rock samples from the Great Plains and from the Rocky Mountains composed of such similar minerals, when they look so different and come from different areas?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The rock of the Great Plains is called sedimentary rock and the rock of the Rocky Mountains is called a igneous rock.  A Sedimentary rock: is a type of rock that is formed by the buildup of mineral/organic particles at Earth's surface. And an Igneous rock: a type of rock that forms when magma (molten rock) cools/crystallizes. Since they formed in different ways they must not have formed together. Rocks can form in different ways, shapes sizes etc.. This causes them to be different types.

Explanation:

1) Sedimentary rock: type of rock that is formed by the accumulation or buildup of mineral or organic particles at Earth's surface.

2) Igneous rock: type of rock that forms when magma (molten rock) cools and crystallizes.

Answer 2

The North American Plate, on which both the Great Plains and the Rocky Mountains are situated, is a common tectonic plate.

What is rock?

Rock is defined as a grouping of solid mineral grains that have grown or been cemented together. There are big rocks and little rocks. Rocks are created in the earth's crust. According to geology, rocks are produced when a combination of one or more minerals occurs. The sediments will eventually accumulate to such a high density that they will effectively turn into rock.

Although the Rocky Mountains' rock is volcanic and the Great Plains' rock is sedimentary, the two rock formations are stated to be different even though they contain comparable concentrations of specific minerals. Despite this, the two rocks have different formation processes.

Thus, the North American Plate, on which both the Great Plains and the Rocky Mountains are situated, is a common tectonic plate.

(GIVING BRAINLYIST) Jenna notices that the speed of the wind has increased throughout the day. What is causing the faster wind?

There has been no precipitation.
The difference in air pressure has decreased.
The difference in air pressure has increased.
The direction of the wind has changed to the south.

Answers

Answer: C. The difference in air pressure has increased.

The gases that move from high-pressure areas to low-pressure areas cause the high winds that we experience today. The bigger the difference between the pressures, the faster the air will move from the high to the low pressure.

What action-reaction forces are involved when a rocket engine fires? Why doesn't a rocket need air to push on?

Answers

Answer:

The action force is the rocket pushing out the "hot" gases produced by the engine. The reaction force is the hot gas pushing back on the rocket propelling it into outer space.

And....

The reaction force is the hot gas pushing back on the rocket propelling it into outer space. There is no need for air to push on because the hot gases produced by the rocket allow the action and reaction forces to operate.  These two forces are equal and opposite (action-reaction) forces.
