Location on Earth where an Earthquake is felt the strongest
Epicenter
During this tide the Moon is in the first quarter and third quarter moon stages. It forms a right angle with the Sun
Neap Tide
The diagram shows part of the rock cycle, where clay and sand transform into different types of rock. Shale is a sedimentary rock. Which processes occur to form shale from clay and sand?
A When air carries clay and sand to new locations, they combine with decaying plants, forming shale.
B When clay and sand mix with a lava flow, they cool and crystallize, forming shale.
C As clay and sand become buried under layers of sediment, the sediment liquifies and hardens, forming shale.
D As water flows through clay and sand, they become cemented together, forming shale.
D
