What is an ocean ridge made up of skeletal ramains of tiny sea animals?
What is an ocean ridge made up of skeletal remains of tiny sea animals
What rock is form from skeletal remains pf coral and lime-secreting sea animals?
Limestone
How do you know that the material that makes up Mt. Everest used to be under water?
Because it is made of sedimentary rock. Sedimentary rock is the accumulation of the skeletal remains of marine animals over millions & millions of years on the sea bed. That's an awful lot of animals over a very, very long time.
How do rocks form from remains of animals?
Limestone is formed from the skeletal remains of minute sea creatures, laid down on the sea floor millions of years ago.
What causes minerals?
Scurvy is not caused by any mineral. It is caused by a vitamin C deficiency.
What group of organisms provides skeletal remains for chalk deposition?
Marine organisms known as coccolithophores, which are single-celled algae with calcium carbonate plates, provide skeletal remains for chalk deposition. These organisms play a key role in the formation of chalk rocks through their accumulation of calcium carbonate plates in marine environments.
Do coral reefs have bones?
Yes. Coral is both the living and skeletal remains of Marine organisms. These in effect are the bones of the animals.
What are the 2 ways that limestone can be formed?
By cooling of molten rock under the oceans
The type of rocks that form where the remains of plants and animals are deposited in thick layers are called?
The type of rock that forms where the remains of plants and animals are deposited in thick layers are called organic sedimentary rock.
What type of sedamintary rock is formed the remains of once living things?
The type of sedimentary rock formed from the remains of once-living things is called organic sedimentary rock. This includes rocks like limestone, which can form from the accumulation of shell, coral, and other biological materials. Another example is coal, which is formed from the compressed remains of plant material. These rocks provide important insights into past environments and biological activity.
Are coral reefs skeletal remains?
Basically...................yes.
What skeleton substance does coral reef come from?
Coral reefs are primarily composed of calcium carbonate, which is secreted by coral polyps as they grow. These tiny marine animals build their skeletons from calcium carbonate, forming a hard structure that provides support and protection. Over time, the accumulation of these skeletal remains creates the complex and diverse ecosystems known as coral reefs.
