The correct answer is - A. heat and pressure.

The metamorphic rocks are the result of other types of rocks being exposed to high temperatures and pressures. The igneous rocks and the sediment rocks (though less) are the parent material for the formation of the metamorphic rocks. Through geologic process, the rocks can get deeper into the ground, reaching places where the temperatures and pressures are much higher. Once they are exposed to higher temperatures and pressures for a prolonged period of time, the rocks start to change their structure. Apart from changing themselves, if there's rocks from other types close to them, it is very common that they mix under those circumstances, and eventually give birth to a new type of rock.

Answer:

IPM is an environment-based approach that emphasizes long-term pest reduction or harm through a blend of strategies such as biological control, habitat alteration, cultural practices adjustment, and the use of resistant varieties.

Explanation:

IPM is an environment-based approach that emphasizes long-term pest reduction or harm through a blend of strategies such as biological control, habitat alteration, cultural practices adjustment, and the use of resistant varieties.

6 major components which are common to every IPM programs:

1 ) Pest identification

2) Monitoring and assessment of the number of plagues and damage.

3) Guidelines for when management practice or  action is required

4) Prevent pest problems

5) Use of a blend of tools for biological, cultural, physical/mechanical and chemical management

6) Assessment of the impact of pest control after action

Strike441 [17]

Answer: a. Dendritic

Explanation:

A dendritic drainage pattern is the most common form and looks like the roots of trees branching pattern. It is a drainage pattern in which streams branch in many directions randomly at different angles as well. It develops in regions that have underlying homogeneous material. This means the subsurface geology has a similar resistance to weathering resulting in no seeming control over the direction the tributaries take. It is produce in streams that receive several tributaries that are fed by smaller ones. Tributaries link up a larger stream at acute angle ( angle less than 90 degrees). It can be indicated when streams flow across horizontally and complex crystalline rock/homogeneous strata help in resisting erosion uniformly.

How can the extent of fault rupture during an earthquake be converted into a measurement of average fault slip of displacement o
Anna71 [15]

<u>Answer:</u>

Fault rupturing by the earthquake is largely governed by the Elastic rebound theory. In geology, the elastic rebound theory is an explanation of how energy is released during an earthquake. It explains that as rocks on opposite side of the fault are subjected to some force and shift.

They gather energy and deform slowly unless their internal strength increases causing a sudden movement occurs along the fault. This results in the releasing of the accumulated energy and rocks move back to their original but unreformed shape.
