from the ocean floor.
2. It has extremely high temperature and pressure.
3. There is only molten magma at the earth’s centre.
4. Oxygen is absent from this region.
5. Such conditions do not permit the survival of any
living organism.
6. Thus we cannot go to the centre of the earth.
Q2. How sedimentary
rocks are formed from sediments?
Ans: When big rocks
break down into small fragments (sediments), they are transported and deposited
by the factors like water and wind. These sediments compress and harden over
years to form layers and layers of rocks. These rocks are known as sedimentary
rocks.
