Answer: The correct answer is fat.

Explanation:

Though, our body uses carbohydrates as the primary source of energy but fats provide more energy and heat as compared to the carbs.

Each gram of fat provides 9 Kcal of energy as compared to 4 Kcal of energy produced by carbs or proteins.

In addition, fats or lipids are long term energy reserves of the body. So, they are able to provide you energy during long duration of physical activity such as hiking.

Fats also help in making an insulating layer around the body which decreases the surface lost of heat and thus, help in keeping you warm.

You must pack food that has high concentrations of fat and protein. Food like granola bars and canned meat are a good source of energy and heat. This is because the body breaks this food down easily converting it into usable energy. Though some people would suggest that you pack food that are high in carbohydrates, fats and proteins are long-term sources of energy that you would need for your hiking trip.

Describe what needs to occur in order for a metamorphic rock to form.
katovenus [111]

Answer:

Any sort of prexisting rock whether sedimentary, igneous, or even metamorphic rock must change under extreme conditions like extreme heat or pressure.

Explanation:

An igneous rock is a rock that has been created via cooling of magma.

A sedimentary rock is formed from sediments, whether they be natural like seashells, or other pieces of older rocks that have worn away. usually formed under pressure.

A metamorphic rock is a rock that's changed, because it was put under extreme pressure or exposed to extreme heat.

Think of the part morphic in the word metamorphic-it literally means that it morphed or that it changed dramatically.

There are two ways for a rock to become metamorphic under <u>extreme pressure</u> or <u>extreme heat</u><u>.</u> and there are two types of metamorphic rocks, <u>contact</u> <u>metamorphism</u> and <u>regional metamorphism</u><u>.</u>

Those mean pretty much exactly what they say.

If you have any more questions, ask, but i think I covered the most important parts of the answer.

best of luck
