<u>Answer: </u>

Neither rock A nor B could become metamorphic rocks.

<u>Explanation: </u>

Magma is the molten rock under the surface hardens into igneous rock. This rock breaks down over time under the process of weathering.

These pieces of "igneous rocks" are cemented together with other bits of rocks to form sedimentary rocks.

These rocks get buried under the geological processes like earthquakes. Now, coming in contact with high temperatures and magma, these rocks get changed into metamorphic rocks.

So, from option A, igneous rock is formed. When combined with rock B and other rocks, sedimentary rocks are formed.

Metamorphic rocks are formed in the next process. Therefore, neither of the two rocks could become "metamorphic rocks".

How would heath care affect infant mortality rates and contraceptive use?

denis23 [38]

Answer with explanation:

Infant mortality rates would decrease. Greater quality or more widespread health care makes medical experts more accessible, so more people would have access to doctors and high-quality resources when their infant needs it.

A greater population would use contraceptives. Health care makes health supplies more accessible. More people would be able to afford and attain some form of contraceptives.

What were the Major geologic process of the precambrian and Paleozoic eras in the horn of Africa?

aev [14]

Denudation was an important geological phenomenon in the Precambrian and Paleozoic ages in the Horn of Africa.

<h3>What were the Precambrian and paleozoic epochs like?</h3>

The Precambrian (or Pre-Cambrian, or Cryptozoic) period of Earth's history before the present Phanerozoic Eon. The Precambrian is called after the Precambrian epoch, which preceded the Cambrian. The Precambrian period encompasses 88 percent of Earth's geologic history.

PALEOZOIC

The Paleozoic (or Palaeozoic) Era is the first of the Phanerozoic Eon's three geologic periods. The Cambrian, Ordovician, Silurian, Devonian, Carboniferous, and Permian epochs span 541 to 251.902 million years ago.

Thus, a major geological process of that era was denudation in the horn of Africa.
