sses formed the Hawaiian Islands?
A) Melted rock called magma rose through holes in Earth's crust and gradually solidified as it cooled.
B) Tectonic movement forced certain segments of Earth's crust downward and other segments upward in jagged chunks.

Sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic rocks can each have a distinctive appearance in the landscape, often allowing us to recogn
wel

Answer:

As explained below.

Explanation:

  • As the sedimentary and igneous and metamorphic rocks are distinct from each other as they appear on the landscape but show similar internal properties and thus allowing us to recognize them from a distance.
  • <u>Sedimentary Rocks range from shake sandstone to limestone and conglomerate. While Metamorphic i.e foliated being Slate, Phyllite, Schist, and Gneiss, etc. While the Nonfoliated Metamorphic rocks  are Quartzite and Marble</u>.
  • Rocks revolve in there set rock cycle forming distinctive and newer rocks over the geologic time scale of earth. As each rock type is altered with force to produce the fro example a basalt rock when subducted and could be merged with the mantel to form in the water cycle.
  • As these are called secondary changes in the evolutionary phases of rocks which then can<u> transition into metamorphic rocks through the process of mountain building in the orographic belt</u>s.  
  • As a result, other rocks are recrystallized to form a sedimentary rock in its next phase which is unstable and subject to weathering. Transitions deeply impact the chemical and physical properties of rocks.

Central and South America — List and describe a specific example of an ocean or river and how it was a barrier and/or roadway.
Vilka [71]
The Amazon River in South America served as a significant roadway through the centuries. For instance, the river allowed Orellana, a Spanish explorer in the 1500s, to spread Christianity to Amazon inhabitants. Explorers were able to travel up the entire river and return by the same route, which emphasizes the practicality of it as a travel method. Additionally, naturalists on these expeditions spread ideas through their findings on the Amazon. In conclusion, the Amazon River provided an effective path that encouraged the spread of global knowledge and beliefs.
