HELP ME PLS

This would be cause and effect since the passage talked about the event and what happened due to it.

"Located in Death Valley, California, the rocks are sitting on the red hot ground". "Unlike normal rocks they have trails etched out behind them".

This means that as a result of The Drifting Rocks phenomenon, the rocks have trails etched. I do believe that it could be fact by fact but in the 2nd paragraph it doesn't provide concrete evidence. However, it does list the facts in the first paragraph and what the rocks looked like when the phenomenon occurred.

the second world war (wwii) was one of the major trans formative events of the 20th century, with 39 million deaths in europe alone. large amounts of physical capital were destroyed as well through six years of constant ground battles and bombing. many individuals were forced to abandon or give up their property without compensation and to move on to new lands. periods of hunger become more common even in relatively prosperous western europe. families were separated for long periods of time especially from their fathers. many including young children would personally witness the horrors of war as battles and bombing took place in the very areas where they lived. horrendous crimes against humanity were committed. due to wwii, political and economic systems in many countries would be permanently altered.
