How do plate tectonics explain the formation and metamorphic rocks?

Biology
1 answer:
Serga [27]3 years ago
4 0

Metamorphic rocks are formed from other rock that has been subjected to very high temperature and pressure.

When one of the earth's plates comes in contact with another either by both traveling opposite directions, straight into each other, or from one slipping under the other (subduction zone), the pressure/friction of the plates against each other melts the rocks and after they cool they are metamorphic. Example is in Washington state when the Juan de fuca plate is going under the North American plate the pressure/friction of this melts the rocks which then form metmorphic rock.

ioda

The correct answer is: D) C3H8 + 5O2 -> 3CO2 + 4H2O

The law of conservation of mass (matter) states that the mass of the system must remain constant over time. So, the mass of the chemical components before the reaction must be equal to the mass of the components after the reaction, according to this law.

Explain, physiologically, why the ERV and IRV are lower during heavy exercise than they are during moderate exercise.
JulijaS [17]

Answer: To meet the demand of more oxygen by the body.

Explanation: During the time of exercise the need for oxygen by the body increases. The minute ventilation of an individual will increase due to increase in the tidal volume and frequency of breathing.

The extra space is provided by the inspiratory reserve volume which acts as a reservoir of extra lung volume that can become inflated with air and as we need it.

So, Inspiratory reserve volume and expiratory reserve volume decreases during heavy exercise as there is a need of more inhalation of oxygen and more exhalation of carbon dioxide as tidal volume increases and cover the space.
