Answer:

Physical properties of mercury are described here.

Explanation:

Mercury is a metal. Mercury is the only metal which is liquid at room temperature. Mercury is shiny silver in liquid form. It has a melting point of -38.9 degree Celsius and a boiling point of 356.7 degree Celsius. The symbol of mercury is Hg and it has an atomic number, 80 and atomic weight of 200.59. Mercury is a poor conductor of heat and good conductor of electricity. Mercury is considered a heavy metal.

In this question, its liquid form, and the volume of the mercury grows as temperature rises, are the examples of physical properties of the mercury.

About 70% of Earth's freshwater is where?
Pepsi [2]
About 70% of the Earth's freshwater is found in the form of ice caps and glaciers -it is frozen. Out of this, the majority is actually in one place: covering the continent of Antarctica.

One could argue that there is more water in the oceans, but it's not fresh water- it's salty water, so it's not  good to drink.

Which metamorphic rock forms under the highest temperature and highest pressure?
tankabanditka [31]

Answer: Gneiss

Explanation: Gneiss is a metamorphic rock formed from shale at very high temperature and pressure condition. They exhibit a preferred alignment or orientation of platy minerals called foliation. They are coarse grained and exhibit gneissose banding. They are formed from highest grade regional metamorphism with temperature between 450 - 600 degree celcius and pressure between 800 - 1000 mega pascal. They generally occur in cores of fold mountain belts where mountain ranges have been eroded.
