I believe that is a trick question, “The degree of metamorphism is a function of pressure, heat and time. During orogenic events, the metamorphism of the rocks can take 100's of thousand to millions of years. Too much heat cannot be applied at once since the rock will melt and recrystallize into an igneous rock” i’ve found those same answers on other websites as well. meaning there really isn’t a right answer.

What are a few other differences between the Continental Drift Hypothesis and the Theory of Plate Tectonics?
konstantin123 [22]

<u>The main difference between plate tectonics and continental drift is that plate tectonics describes the features and movement of Earth's surface in the present and in the past whereas continental drift describes the drifting of Earth's continents on the ocean bed.</u>

Today there are many types of Protestant Churches. For example, Baptist is currently the largest denomination in the United States but there are many dozens more. How did this happen? Where did they all begin? To understand the Protestant Reform movement, we need to go back in history to the early 16th century when there was only one church in Western Europe - what we would now call the Roman Catholic Church - under the leadership of the Pope in Rome. Today, we call this "Roman Catholic" because there are so many other types of churches (ie Methodist, Baptist, Lutheran, Calvinist, Anglican - you get the idea).

Mantle material rises in convection currents because heated materials become.
worty [1.4K]

Mantle material rises in convection currents because heated materials become less dense.

<h3>What is convection current?</h3>
  • Convection is a single- or multiphase fluid movement that develops on its own as a result of the interaction between a fluid's body forces—most frequently gravity and density—and material property heterogeneity.
  • Differential heating leads to convection currents. Warm, less dense, lighter material rises while cool, more dense, heavier material sinks. When a fluid's one component is heated, the difference in temperatures causes the fluid to flow in a particular direction.
  • The process of a heated fluid rising and being replaced by a cooler one is known as convection cycle.
  • Convection currents use the mass motion of a fluid, such as water, air, or molten rock, to move heat from one location to another. The earth's ocean currents, atmospheric weather, and geology are all controlled by convection currents' capacity to transport heat.
