How do plate tectonics explain the formation and metamorphic rocks?

Biology
1 answer:
Serga [27]3 years ago

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.

This is only one part of the answer, but its important: high-altitude O2 absorbs much energy from the sun (including radioactivity), which forms the ozone layer. this process protects delicate molecules important to life - most notably dna

Answer:

Uncomfortable heat and humidity

Explanation:

After it rains for a long time, the humidity level rises, and most of the time it also brings heat with it.  The author was using the metaphor of the broccoli being dropped into a steamer to explain the heat and humidity outside.

Hope this helps :)

Use the drop-down menus to complete the statements. <br><br> Meiosis involves cell divisions.
denpristay [2]

Answer:

Meiosis involves two cell divisions

Explanation:

Mitosis and meiosis are two kinds of cell divisions and one of the main differences between the two is that meiosis goes through <u>2 nuclear divisions</u>.

Meiosis has Meiosis I and Meiosis II division. In Meiosis I, the number of chromosomes in the daughter cells are only half of the parent cells. This is why it is called a reduction division, because the chromosomes will be reduced by half. In Meiosis II, the daughter cells will have the same number of chromosomes as the parent cells, which in this case is the daughter cells of meiosis I.
