How one rock can be transferred into either of the other rock type
mart [117]

Rocks can be classified in to three main groups - igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic. These three different rock types can be found in distinct areas of the UK.

Igneous rocks - these rocks are a result of volcanic activity in the past, when Britain was close to a plate boundary. Some of the igneous rocks are due to lava erupting at constructive plate boundaries. When the lava reached the surface, it cooled and solidified to form basalt rock. An example of this is the Giant's Causeway in Northern Ireland.

Other rocks are formed by hot molten magma beneath the Earth's surface cooling and solidifying as an intrusive rock under the ground, such as granite. This is later exposed as the rocks above are weathered and eroded at the Earth’s surface.

Sedimentary rocks – these are made up of small particles of sand and rock, which have been transported by the wind, rivers and ice and are usually deposited on lake or seabed. Over many millions of years, successive layers of sediments accumulate. These layers of sediments are compressed by the weight of the deposits above, into sedimentary rocks. These rocks form in layers, known as bedding planes.

When sand is compressed it forms sandstone. When mud is compressed it becomes clay. Limestone and chalk come from the remains of dead plant, animal and marine species and are rich in calcium carbonate and contain fossils. Many of these rocks were formed over 300 million years ago, in warm tropical seas during the carboniferous period. The existence of these rocks is evidence that Britain was at a different latitude compared to today. This suggests movement of continental areas of the globe, which is explained by the modern theory of plate tectonics.

Metamorphic rocks - these are rocks that have been changed in shape and form by intense heat and pressure at a plate boundary or along a fault line. These rocks start as either igneous or sedimentary rocks and are crystallised under the intense heat and pressure conditions to form rocks such as slates, schists, and marble. These rocks are very hard in nature and are often used as roof material.

short answer

The three main rock types are igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary. The three processes that change one rock to another are crystallization, metamorphism, and erosion and sedimentation. Any rock can transform into any other rock by passing through one or more of these processes. This creates the rock cycle.

The metamorphosis of a tadpole to an adult frog involves a thorough reconstruction of the animal's body. All of the structural a
alexira [117]

The metamorphosis of a tadpole to an adult frog involves a thorough reconstruction of the animal's body. Positive feedback regulation would ensure that the animal completed its transformation.

Positive feedback regulation of prothoracic hormone secretion by ecdysteroids is the mechanism that determines the timing of metamorphosis.

Metamorphosis is the biological process by which an animal develops physically, including birth and hatching, and which involves marked and relatively rapid changes in an animal's body structure due to cell growth and differentiation.

Some insects, fish, amphibians, mollusks, crustaceans, cnidarians, echinoderms, and tunicates undergo metamorphosis, often with changes in diet and behavior.

In case of frogs, and toads, forelimbs are formed under the gill pouch, and the hind limbs are visible after a few days. This is usually followed by a longer phase in which the tadpoles are fed a vegetarian diet.

Tadpoles use a relatively long spiral intestine to digest this food. Recent studies suggest that tadpoles do not have a balanced homeostatic feedback control system until early stages of metamorphosis.

At this point, their long intestine shortens and they prefer insects.
