The Soviet leader who began glasnost and perestroika was _____.
brilliants [131]

Answer:  Mikhail Gorbachev

Explanation:

In March 1985, Mikhail Gorbachev proposed policies of<em> perestroika </em>(restructuring) and <em>glasnost </em>(openness) in the Soviet Union.  These seemed like policies that leaned in the direction of Western ways of economics and politics.  <em>Perestroika </em>meant allowing some measure of private enterprise in the Soviet Union.  <em>Glasnost </em>meant allowing a bit of freedom in regard to speech and publication.   But don't get the idea that Gorbachev was trying to get rid of the Soviet communist system.  He actually was trying to prop it up and preserve it, because it was starting to have many problems sustaining itself.  But in the end, opening things up a bit with <em>perestroik</em>a and <em>glasnost </em>policies only pushed the USSR further in the direction of shedding the communist model under which it had lived for so long.

what would happen if igneous rock was first exposed to energy from the sun and then millions of years later to energy from Earth
inysia [295]

Answer:They would become igneous rocks

Explanation:

If originally, sedimentary rocks are exposed to energy from the sun, no changes will occur to them.

One will hardly spot any difference in their mineralogical composition as such.

The temperature of the sun does not any significant alteration on earth materials.

The heat from the interior has a very significant effect on rocks, especially sedimentary rocks.

Heat from the interior can reach a staggering 6000°C which is more than enough to cause a metamorphic change in a body rock.

In fact, at this temperature, igneous rock will be produced from the sedimentary rock.
