Sedimentary rocks found high in the himalayan mountains have been found with fossils of clams and other marine life. what does this indicate about the origin of the himalayan mountains? a) there was once a large ocean at top of the mountains. b) animals that now live on the mountains once lived under water. c) the earth's crust that formed these mountains was once covered with an ocean. eliminate d) continental drift resulted two tectonic moving closer to each other over time.

C) The Earth's crust that formed these mountains was once covered with an ocean.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, the presence of such sedimentary rocks and fossils demonstrate the earlier existence of an ancient ocean that was covering the Himalayan Mountains due to the found ancient marine life which has no other option to live there because no hint of that type of evolution is available nowadays, therefore, the answer is C) the Earth's crust that formed these mountains was once covered with an ocean.

Best regards.

water   molecules stay close to each other through cohesion, the collective action of hydrogen bonds between water molecules. cohesion plants draw water upwards from the root through the stem's transport tubes (xylem) to the leaf. this transport occurs even in large trees and against gravity. transpiration, evaporation of water from plant leaves, creates a tension on water molecules being pulled up from the stem and roots.

water also has high (the attraction of one substance to another) properties because of its polar nature. adhesion of water molecules to plant cell walls counteract gravity while water is transported from roots to leaves.

water exhibits a very high surface tension when compared to other liquids. surface tension is a property of a liquid that holds the surface together and allows it to resist an external force. by capillary action, the water forms concave menisci inside the pores. the high surface tension of water pulls the concavity outwards, generating enough force to lift water from the roots to the leaves of plants.

thus, cohesion, along with adhesion and surface tension creates a capillary action that keeps water molecules interacting and moving through the plants out to the leaf cells.

therefore, option d) is the correct answer.

explanation:

they are both synthetic elements
