Answer

Brief Explanations:

For the sedimentary - rock question:

  • Option A: Compaction and cementation create layered sedimentary rocks, so it's true.
  • Option B: The formation of sedimentary rock does not require intense heat. It mainly involves weathering, erosion, deposition, compaction, and cementation. So this option is not true.
  • Option C: Compaction is a key process in sedimentary - rock formation, so it's true.
  • Option D: Compaction presses sediments together, so it's true.

For the plant - environment question:

  • Waxy leaves to keep in moisture, flowers blooming soon after rainfall to avoid drought, and spines for shade and protection from predators are adaptations for a hot desert environment. Tropical rainforests have high humidity and don't need such water - conservation adaptations, and plants underwater in the ocean have different adaptations. Cold tundras have different plant forms and adaptations related to cold and short growing seasons.

Answer:

  1. B. Minerals and sediments are found in sedimentary rock. The formation of sedimentary rock requires intense heat.
  2. A. a hot desert
