What is the primary basis for distinguishing among different chemical sedimentary rocks?
By composition, group, and method of lithification. Composition is what its made of, group is whether the rock has grain or layers--if yes, than its clastic, if no, than its chemical or organic--and method of lithification is whether is was formed from compaction, cementation......etc.
What are the types of sedimentary structures?
it's not easy to classify sedimentary structures, because both their origins and their geometries are so highly varied. Two reasonable ways of classifying them are on the basis of: kind of mechanism that produces them (physical sedimentary structures, chemical sedimentary structures, and biogenic sedi-mentary structures) and time of development relative to time of deposition (primary sedimentary structures and secondary sedimentary structures).
What is a layer of soil?
there are many types of layers of soil first the sedimentary the soft ones then primary the really hard ones
What rocks are related in the earth system?

What is the rate of Primary succession in a tundra biome?
The primary succession of a Tundra biome is that it is a primary succession not a secondary.
What is the primary basis for distinguishing different chemical sedimentary rocks?
The primary basis for distinguishing among different rocks in the chemical sedimentary rock group is their mineral composition. (p.150 Essentials of Geology 10th edition Classification of Sedimentary Rocks)
Which major component of detrital sedimentary rocks only rarely occurs as a primary mineral in igneous rocks?

Why would a project manager benefit from distinguishing between primary tasks and dependent tasks?
This would enable the manager to draft a dependency schedule -Apex
Why are deconposers important in the food chain?
To put it roughly, if we didn't have decomposers, you would be walking on a pile of dead animals and plants and everything else. Decomposers provide nutrients for primary producers, as well as detrital herbivores (certain insects, etc.)
Difference between grazing food chain and deterial food?
