Answer:
Beach Drift
Explanation:
The movement of water within the surf zone that parallels the shore is called beach drift.
A granite can be transformed from an igneous rock to a sedimentary rock and then to a metamorphic rock or the sedimentary rock can be transformed back into granite again by metamorphism. First of all, a granite often occurs in mountains and is susceptible to weathering and erosion.. Weathering such as argillic weathering can help break t he rock down to its constituent minerals which are mostly quartz, orthoclase feldspar and biotite mica. This then gets washed down into the rivers and thence to the coast and gets deposited in a marine environment as part of a delta or alluvial fan, in the form of sand, silt, clay and gravel. As this sediment becomes compacted, it turns into rocks like sandstone, siltstone etc. With deeper burial and the addition of heat and pressure these rocks get converted into such metamorphic rocks as quartzites, slates and phyllites, etc. I have seen a meta sandstone grade into a granite in the Canadian Shield so granite can then form from metamorphic processes as well as igneous processes.
Answer: The ice caps are already in water.
Explanation:
The ice packs in North Pole and the ice sheet in Antarctica are already in water. When they melt therefore, they are simply being converted from one state to another but the quantity is the same.
In other words, the volume that the ice occupied in the water becomes the volume of liquid added to the water so there is no net change in volume added leading to sea levels staying the same.
