Answer:

The measurement is known as the rock's mass.

Explanation:

The mass of an object is the quantity of matter that the object contains. It can be determined or measured by the use of; beam balance, top pan balance etc. The value of the mass of an object does not change regardless of its location on the surface of the earth or at other planets. the mass of object is measured in Kilograms.

Rock formation is a process by which a rock is formed. Either by sedimentation or cooling of magma. In studying the rock formation, the geologist measures the mass of the rock. He/ She would be able to know the amount of matter in the rock, which could be used to determine the weight of the rock.

Answer:

Mass

Explanation:

Mass is defined as the amount of matter in a substance. It is usually measured by balances such as the beam balance and scales. It is measured in grams or kilograms depending on the size of the body.

The process of Rock formation involves how a rock is formed which is usually by sedimentation or cooling of magma in volcanic eruptions. In rock formation study,the geologist measures the mass of the rock which enables knowledge of the amount of matter in the rock. This is be used to determine the weight of the rock and the rock type and properties.

Where would you expect molten rock to cool slowly and large crystals form? Why?
navik [9.2K]

Answer:

When magma cools underground, it cools very slowly and when lava cools above ground, it cools quickly. When magma and lava cool, mineral crystals start to form in the molten rock. Plutonic rocks, which cool slowly underground, have large crystals because the crystals had enough time to grow to a large size.

Explanation:

It basicly startes to molden the rock, and more.

What is a difference between starch and glycogen?
deff fn [24]

The right answer is B.

Starch is, along with cellulose, the most common polysaccharide in the plant world. It constitutes the essential energy reserves of plants and is a component of the diet of humans. It is part of the group of slow sugars. Its consumption is particularly recommended to those who practice a sport.

Glycogen, which is a polysaccharide, is the form in which carbohydrates are stored in the body (animals and fungi). Glycogen is broken down into glucose molecules when the body needs energy.

Some inbred strains of the weedy plant Arabidopsis thaliana flower early in the growing season, but other strains flower at late
RoseWind [281]

Answer:

a. Let us consider that L is responsible for late and l is responsible for early. From the mentioned data, it can be concluded that allele L or late is dominant over early. By crossing plants 1 and 4 we get the expected ratio of 3: 1, which shows that it follows Mendel's law of dominant.  

b. The genotype of all the four plants are:  

1st plant = Ll

2nd plant = ll

3rd plant = LL

4th plant = Ll

c. If the plant 1 is self-fertilized then the expected progeny will be 3 (late): 1 (early).  

In case if the 2nd plant is self-fertilized, the expected progeny will be only early.  

In case if the 3rd plant is self-fertilized, the expected progeny will be only late.  

In case if the 4th plant is self-fertilized, the expected progeny will be 3 (late): 1 (early).
