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.

*The key function of each of the two photosystems is to absorb light and convert the energy of the absorbed light into redox energy, which drives electron transport.

In PS II (the first photosystem in the sequence), P680 is oxidized (which in turn oxidizes water), and the PS II primary electron acceptor is reduced (which in turn reduces the electron transport chain between the photosystems).

In PS I, the PS I primary electron acceptor is reduced (which in turn reduces other compounds that ultimately reduce NADP+ to NADPH), and P700 is oxidized (which in turn oxidizes the electron transport chain between the photosystems).
