A granite can be transformed from an igneous rock to a sedimentary rock and then to a metamorphic rock or the sedimentary rock can be transformed back into granite again by metamorphism. First of all, a granite often occurs in mountains and is susceptible to weathering and erosion.. Weathering such as argillic weathering can help break t he rock down to its constituent minerals which are mostly quartz, orthoclase feldspar and biotite mica. This then gets washed down into the rivers and thence to the coast and gets deposited in a marine environment as part of a delta or alluvial fan, in the form of sand, silt, clay and gravel. As this sediment becomes compacted, it turns into rocks like sandstone, siltstone etc. With deeper burial and the addition of heat and pressure these rocks get converted into such metamorphic rocks as quartzites, slates and phyllites, etc. I have seen a meta sandstone grade into a granite in the Canadian Shield so granite can then form from metamorphic processes as well as igneous processes.

How will globalization MOST LIKELY affect language around the world? No new languages will be created. Nations will adopt a univ
Alina [70]

The correct answers are:

- Nations will adopt a universal language;

With the globalization, more and more languages are becoming endangered, and very soon will be gone forever. The reason with this is that with the globalization, there's also a language that is spread around, the English language, and the majority of the young population is very fond of it and learns it, neglecting their own language in meantime.

- More languages will become extinct;

Because the spreading of a universal language seems to be taken place, with the English language being the front runner, and because the young generations tend to focus on it more than at their own language, the native languages will die out relatively quickly in the future, at least most of them.
