Foliated rocks have bands, or layers( whatever you want to call it) unifoliated rocks don't have that I think.

What are convergent boundaries?
boyakko [2]

Answer:

Explanation:

A convergent boundary (also known as a destructive boundary) is an area on Earth where two or more lithospheric plates collide. One plate eventually slides beneath the other, a process known as subduction. The subduction zone can be defined by a plane where many earthquakes occur, called the Wadati–Benioff zone.[1] These collisions happen on scales of millions to tens of millions of years and can lead to volcanism, earthquakes, orogenesis, destruction of lithosphere, and deformation. Convergent boundaries occur between oceanic-oceanic lithosphere, oceanic-continental lithosphere, and continental-continental lithosphere. The geologic features related to convergent boundaries vary depending on crust types.

Plate tectonics is driven by convection cells in the mantle. Convection cells are the result of heat generated by radioactive decay of elements in the mantle escaping to the surface and the return of cool materials from the surface to the mantle.[2] These convection cells bring hot mantle material to the surface along spreading centers creating new crust. As this new crust is pushed away from the spreading center by the formation of newer crust, it cools, thins, and becomes denser. Subduction begins when this dense crust converges with less dense crust. The force of gravity helps drive the subducting slab into the mantle.[3] As the relatively cool subducting slab sinks deeper into the mantle, it is heated, causing hydrous minerals to break down. This releases water into the hotter asthenosphere, which leads to partial melting of asthenosphere and volcanism. Both dehydration and partial melting occurs along the 1,000 °C (1,830 °F) isotherm, generally at depths of 65 to 130 km (40 to 81 mi).[4][5]

Some lithospheric plates consist of both continental and oceanic lithosphere. In some instances, initial convergence with another plate will destroy oceanic lithosphere, leading to convergence of two continental plates. Neither continental plate will subduct. It is likely that the plate may break along the boundary of continental and oceanic crust. Seismic tomography reveals pieces of lithosphere that have broken off during convergence

What stomach secretion is needed to produce mature erythrocytes?
anyanavicka [17]
<span>Intrinsic factor is a glycoprotein principally secreted by the parietal cells of the stomach. This secretion is needed to produce mature erythrocytes. Its secretion is governed by the same biochemical processes that regulate acid secretion and its action is to assist in the absorption of vitamin B12.</span>

Why is the blood that drains into the hepatic portal circulation nutrient-rich
Lelechka [254]

Answer:

Explanation:

hepatic portal vein is a blood vessel that carries blood from the gastrointestinal tract and spleen to the liver. This blood are usually rich in nutrient because it contains extraction from digested materials or food substances in the gastrointestinal tract and it is processed in the liver for removal of toxins before the blood returns to the heart.
