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. d) continental drift resulted two tectonic moving closer to each other over time.

the answer is 1 i believe

answer is: naturally occurring solid, inorganic compound or element is mineral.

minerals usually have crystalline form, that means than crystal constituents (atoms, molecules or ions) are arranged in a highly ordered microscopic structure, forming a crystal lattice that extends in all directions.

for example magnetite is a mineral of iron oxide (fe₂o₃).

calcite is a carbonate mineral and the most stable polymorph of calcium carbonate (caco₃).

dolomite is an   carbonate mineral composed of calcium magnesium carbonate (camg(co₃)₂).

the electron configuration that you gave me has 16 electrons ergo it has 16 protons ergo it is the element sulfur.
