What is the regional metamorphism in the formation of metamorphic rock

Chemistry
1 answer:

Typically rocks formed<span> by </span>regional metamorphism<span> have experienced deviatoric stress producing foliations. </span>Rock<span> types such as slate, phyllite, schist, gneiss and granulite are typical of </span>regional metamorphism<span>.
</span>Low-grade metamorphism takes place at temperatures between about 200 to 320oC, and relatively low pressure.  Low grade metamorphic rocks are generally characterized by an abundance of hydrous minerals.<span>  With increasing grade of metamorphism, the hydrous minerals begin to react with other minerals and/or break down to less hydrous minerals.</span>

ra1l [238]

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A spontaneous reaction is defined as the process which tends to occur on its own. It does not require any external factor or force in order to start itself.

For example, when we dissolve KCl in water then potassium chloride being ionic in nature will dissolve on its own. Hence, it will be a spontaneous process.

And, a non-spontaneous reaction is defined as a process for the completion of which we have to provide certain conditions.

Thus, we can conclude that the statement it does not require any external action to begin, is true about a spontaneous process.

You place a mass of 250 grams on the measurement tray of a triple beam balance and then set the rider on the 500 gram beam to th
Gala2k [10]

Answer:

  • <u>The pointer will not be lined up with the zero mark; it will be above the zero mark.</u>

Explanation:

Althoug the list of statements is not provided, you can assure that the pointer will not be lined up with the zero mark, but above the zero mark.

A <em>triple beam balance</em> is very precise instrument, of common use in most labs, used to measure masses. It has three beams. Each beam works for different precisions and mass increments. One beam measures 1 g increments, other beam measures 10 g increments, and the other one 100 g increments.

If you place a mass of 250 grams on the measurement tray, then the weight will be balanced in the beams with 200 grams in the beam that reads increments of 100 g and 50 grams in the beam that reads increments of 10 g. When this is the situation, the weight is completely balanced, and the pointer will be lined up with the zero mark. But this is not the case.

When the rider on the 500 gram beam is set to the 200 gram mark, and the other riders are set to 0 grams, the weight of the mass (250 g) on the tray is greater than the force exerted by the rider on the beam (200 g) and so the tray will be below the level of balance, and the beam will be above the level of balance. The level of balance is indicated when the pointer is lined up with the zero mark.
