Answer:

Igneous rock, or magmatic rock, is one of the three main rock types, the others being sedimentary and metamorphic. Igneous rock is formed through the cooling and solidification of magma or lava. The magma can be derived from partial melts of existing rocks in either a planet's mantle or crust

Metamorphic rocks arise from the transformation of existing rock types, in a process called metamorphism, which means "change in form". The original rock is subjected to heat and pressure, causing profound physical or chemical change. The protolith may be a sedimentary, igneous, or existing metamorphic rock.

Answer: Hanging valleys and waterfalls.

Explanation:

The time or period of the maximum glacial advance, Yosemite Valley was filled with a very big truck of glacier. Little tributary glaciers flowed down adjacent valleys and joined into the trunk. When the glaciers returned, the trunk glacier had cut a very deeper valley than the tributary glaciers, becoming hanging valleys where the tributary glaciers merged the trunk. Today in Yosemite National park, we can see evidence of glacier from the hanging valleys and waterfalls.

How do latitud and longitid describe a location on Earth?
svet-max [94.6K]
Answer:
Latitude are the lines parallel with the equator, both above and below.
Longitude are the lines vertical from pole to pole, measured from the Prime meridian.

They are measuring lines used for locating places on the surface of the Earth. They are angular measurements, measured as degrees of a circle. A circle contains 360°. Each degree can be divided into 60 minutes, and each minute is divided into 60 seconds.

One degree of latitude equals 364,000 feet , one minute equals 6,068 feet, and one-second equals 101 feet.
One-degree of longitude equals 288,200 feet, one minute equals 4,800 feet, and one second equals 80 feet.
