Plastic deformation occurs when pressure is applied to a substance and this results in a change of shape of the solid. This occurs to rocks when they undergo metamorphism by pressure. A metamorphic rock is formed by the transformation of preexisting solid rocks under the influence of temperature and pressure. Extreme pressure in metamorphism causes some rocks to be foliated or have a banded appearance. Granite undergoes metamorphism to form gniess.

<span>Metamorphic rocks are rocks formed by modification in the interior of the Earth through metamorphism with heat, pressure and chemical fluids. Plastic deformation is the mode of deformation in which the material does not return to its original norm after being deformed with irreversible thermodynamic changes. Both are related in that the metamorphic rocks were created by means of modification by thermal changes among others and the plastic deformation does not make a creation but a deformation, however, both refer to the change that the rocks and their behavior can have by means of treatments.</span>

koban [17]

Answer:

17,190 years

Explanation:

Each isotope has a characteristic half-life, which is the time required for half of that isotope to decay. After one half-life has elapsed, 50% of the isotope has decayed and 50% remains. After two half-lives, 75% has decayed and 25% remains. After three half-lives, 87.5% has decayed and 12.5% remains. For carbon-14, which has a half-life of 5,730 years, three half-lives corresponds to 17,190 years.

describe and explain the current situation for people in the rainforest and the dangers for the rainforest itself
Lorico [155]

Answer:

Without rainforests, we won't be able to make anymore medicine because plants in the rainforest are being studied for new types of medicine. Another reason is that all the animals there will die and have no habitat, also the rainforests supply a vital amount of oxygen to the planet and without it every oxygen breathing creature would die, and trees take carbon dioxcide out of the air and so there is more room for oxygen.
