Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

The texture in clastic sedimentary rocks refers to grain size of dominant grains, sorting (the range of grain sizes present), and rounding of the grains due to abrasion during transport. Sorting and rounding may provide information on the amount of weathering, or extent of transport. Grain size may provide information about extent of transport too, as it takes more energy to move larger grain sizes.

When Gabriel Fahrenheit invented the first mercury thermometer, he called "zero degrees" the lowest temperature he was able to attain with a mixture of ice and salt. For the upper point of his scale, he used 96°, which he measured as normal human body temperature (we know it to be 98.6° today because of more accurate thermometers).

For about 100 years, scientists thought that peptic ulcers were caused by stress, spicy food, and alcohol. Later, researchers added stomach acid to the list of causes and began treating ulcers with antacids. Now it is known that peptic ulcers are predominantly caused by Helicobacter pylori, a spiral-shaped bacterium that normally exist in the stomach.
