Answer;

-Non-foliated metamorphic rocks

-Metamorphic rocks that don’t have layers are called non-foliated metamorphic rocks.

Explanation;

-Metamorphic rocks are rocks that go through heat and pressure and change form. They can be formed by pressures deep inside the Earth, by tectonic processes such as continental collisions, or when they are heated up by an intrusion of hot molten rock called magma from the Earth's interior.

-Foliated metamorphic rocks have a layered or banded appearance that is produced by exposure to heat and directed pressure, they include rocks such as gneiss, phyllite, schist, and slate.

-On the other hand,Non-foliated metamorphic rocks do not have a layered or banded appearance, they include rocks such as hornfels, marble, quartzite, and novaculite.

A climate zone is an area that is defined by two main factors. What are they?

MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

Temperature and precipitation.

Explanation:

Climate is defined as long-term climate patterns in a location. Looking at average temperature and precipitation through time is the simplest way to characterize the climate.

Temperature and precipitation are the two most significant factors in the climate of a place. Obviously, the annual average area temperature is significant, but the annual temperature range is important as well. Some locations range from the highest to the lowest temperature significantly wider than others. Average precipitation is very essential, but the annual change in precipitation is equally important. Some regions experience approximately the same precipitation year-round. For half of the year, other locations have very low precipitation while the other portion of the year has lots of precipitation.

Which statement explains how convection currents affect the movement of plates? Gravity pulls one edge of a plate down into the

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Convection currents direct the movement of Earth's rigid tectonic plates in the planet's fluid molten mantle.

In places where convection currents rise up towards the crust's surface, tectonic plates move away from each other in a process known as seafloor spreading.

So, I would say the answer is:

As convection currents drift across the oceans,

they bring the pieces of Earth's crust with them as the supercontinent breaks apart.

Glad I could help, hv a good day :)

d. What is the general term for organisms that live in soil and fallen leaves on the forest floor? What is one example of them?

Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

Edaphon, Leaf litter and earthworm

Explanation:

Edaphon is the general term used to reffer to the animals and plants present in the soil.
On the other hand, there is not only one name for the fallen leaves on the forest floor. It could be either plant litter, leaf litter or even tree littler. Although the name suggests it is only leaves, this <u>plant litter</u> could include leaves, barks and twigs that can fall off a tree.
The edaphon its made up of thousands of organisms including a huge number of bacteria, fungi, and arthropods. A good example of organisms living in the soil is an earthworm. Earthworms crawl through the soil feeding from it, digesting part of the organic material and fertilizing it with their excrement.
