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.

Form a hypothesis about the relationship between vegetable mass and salinity of the solution
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

HYPOTHESIS: IF the salinity of the solution decreases, THEN the vegetable mass increases.

Explanation:

Hypothesis, in an experiment, is a testable explanation or prediction made to solve an observed problem or answer a question. It shows how one variable called independent variable affects another variable called dependent variable. It is usually written in the "IF, THEN" format.

In this case, the question states that there is a relationship between vegetable mass and salinity of the solution. This means that the question has been asked that "Why is the vegetable's mass affected by salinity of a solution". Hence, a hypothesis can read:

IF the salinity of the solution decreases, THEN the vegetable mass increases.

How do the base-pairing rules explain how a strand of DNA acts as a temple during DNA replication?
Ne4ueva [31]

This means that each of the two strands in double-stranded DNA acts as a template to produce two new strands. Replication relies on complementary base pairing, that is the principle explained by Chargaff's rules: adenine (A) always bonds with thymine (T) and cytosine (C) always bonds with guanine (G).
