Answer:

ReCrystallization

Contact pressure causing grains to "grow" together.

It's a metamorphic process used to rearrange the atoms of the minerals in order to modify them in to the required form under the specific temperature and pressure. For example conversion of limestone into marble.

<em>Cementation:</em>

Precipitation of bonding agents between grains.

Cementation is the process in which the minerals in the form of fluid fills in spaces between the grains and binds them together upon crystallizing.

<em>Compaction:</em>

Increase in density due to weight of overburden.

Compaction as it's name indicate is the compaction of the sediments due to the heavy weight of the rocks which reduce their size and increase their density.

What is the sum of 9260 and 3240?
Ket [755]
The sum is the result of adding 9260 and 3240 together. Each number can be broken down into constituent parts in order to make addition easier. Each place in the number represents its value, so a 2 in the hundreds place represents 200.
You can separate numbers out this way to make it easier to add them. 9260 can be broken down into 9000+200+60 while 3240 is 3000+200+40. You can then add these six numbers together.

60+40 = 100
200+200 = 400
9000+3000 = 12000

Then add your three partial results together to receive the final answer:

12000+400+100 = 12500

Why is there so much variation in human skin coloration? a. This occurred because humans underwent natural selection, which resu
Arlecino [84]

Answer:

<u>e. All of these.</u>

Explanation:

  • The skin in humans ranges from darkest to the lightest color, as a result of genetic makeup, exposure to the sun rays, skin pigmentation may be either due to the evolutionary process of natural selection, and it may be due to the biochemical effects of the UV rays.
  • As the pigment in the skin of humans is affected by the content of melanin in the body that causes the determination of skins cells of the darker colored humans, and the light skin is determined by the bluish-white tissues under the dermis and the hemoglobin.
  • The emergence of skin pigments dates back to 1.2 billion years ago. When the harsh climatic conditions drove the early humans into arid and open landscapes. In general, the people living near to equator have darkly pigmented than those living in poles are lightly pigmented.

An actor has a mass of 70 kg. Gravitational field strength = 9.8 N/kg. Use the following equation to calculate the weight of the
GalinKa [24]
This is a way of measuring how much gravity there is. The formula is: weight/mass = gravitational field strength.

Gravitational field strength = Weight/mass unit is N/kg

Weight = mass x gravitational field strength unit is N

On Earth the gravitational field strength is 10 N/kg. Other planets have different gravitational field strengths. The Moon has a gravitational field strength of 1.6 N/kg. You might have seen films of astronauts leaping high on the moon.

Here on Earth, if I jump I am pulled back to ground by gravity. What is my weight? My mass is 80kg and if we multiply by gravitational field strength (10N/kg) - my weight is 800N. Now if I go to the moon, my mass will be the same, 80kg. We multiply that by the moon's gravitational field strength, which is 1.6 N/ kg. That means my weight on the moon is 128N. So I have different weights on the Earth and on the Moon. That's why astronauts can jump high into the air on the moon - they're lighter up there.

Jupiter is a very large planet with strong gravitational field strength of 25 N/ kg. My body is 80kg. If I go to Jupiter my weight is going to be 25 x 80 = 2,000 N. That means I wouldn't be able to get off the ground or stand up straight! I would probably be lying down all the time there. So weight varies depending on which planet you are on. You can find out more yourself by looking up tables of weight on different planets.
