Answer:

Geology refers to the study of the earth's physical and chemical processes, how they occurs and what are its effects. It explains how the earth has formed over millions of years. It also describes the internal structure of the earth and the study of the rocks and its minerals. It is a vast subject that is related to physics, chemistry, and biology.

The basic concept of geology must be known to all because earth undergoes various changes with time. Some of the events that occur at different places on earth are earthquakes, tsunamis, floods, hurricanes and so on and the conditions under which these processes occur must be known to all. It provides an idea of how to be away from such destructive processes.

Thus, geology is a very important subject and one must have basic knowledge about it.

Which factors contribute to changing igneous and sedimentary rocks into metamorphic rocks?
Inga [223]

The correct answer are: C. heat, and E. pressure.

All metamorphic rocks need this two factors so that they can be formed from either igneous or sedimentary rocks. The metamorphic rocks form deep into the ground where the pressure is higher and the temperature is higher as well, the deeper they form the bigger the pressure and temperature they experience. According to how big of a temperature and how big of a pressure the rocks have been exposed it determines into what type of metamorphic rocks they will turn into, and according to that what kind of a texture and appearance will they have. The amount of time of exposure to heat and pressure is also key to the type and quality of the metamorphic rocks.

Kitty [74]
<span>I'm not sure I completely understand what the question is asking for. When I look at the plates, it looks like they all fit together like a giant puzzle. They separated due to tectonic plates shifting over hundreds of years. This was based on the theory that there was a supercontinent (one giant landmass). I'm not sure how much this helps, but I hope it does. Good luck!! </span>
