How do plate tectonics explain the formation and metamorphic rocks?

Biology

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.

Nesterboy [21]

The right answer is D. renal regulation.

Among the many factors that modulate tension (vessels, heart strength, blood volume ...), the kidney plays a vital role because it makes an enzyme called renin that helps increase blood pressure and it regulates the outflow of sodium and water, which contribute to the elevation or diminution of blood pressure in the arteries.
