Where might you find mountains of metamorphic rock?

Geography

kompoz [17]3 years ago

Mountains of metamorphic rocks can be found in places where the crust is very old, and has been lifted up by certain orogenesis relatively recently geologically speaking.

The metamorphic rocks take a very long time to form. They form mostly of igneous rocks, occasionally from sedimentary ones, that has ended up deeper into the ground and for a long time have been exposed to higher temperatures and pressures. If a certain orogenesis occurs, the area will gradually be lifter up, thus mountains will be formed. The mountains will be formed from the metamorphic rocks that have been there for millions of years, but have been buried underground.

A nice example of this is the Mountain Babuna in the Republic of Norther Macedonia. It is a mountain that has Precambrian rocks, thus it is a very old crust in question. The Alpine orogenesis lifted this area gradually into the air, and from lowlands, created mountains, thus the old metamorphic rocks were lifted up and are now making the core of the mountain. This mountain contains large amounts of one of the highest quality marble in the world, as well as being the only place in Europe that has ruby, unique in the world for being a pink ruby.

How has the geography of Afghanistan made it difficult for invading armies to conquer?
katovenus [111]

Answer:

b. The terrain is mostly desert and mountains

Explanation:

Afghanistan is a country that has proved to be extremely difficult to invade, and that has been the case for thousands of years. There is one major reason for this, the geography of the country. The country is dominated by very high mountains that create rain shadow and and deserts. The mountains themselves are extremely difficult for passing through, and even if they are passed by an invading army, they will take their toll. Once the mountains are passed, an invading army would face desert, very dry climate, very few food sources and very little water, with temperatures varying from scorching hot in the summer, to freezing cold in the winter. So even if an army passes through both of these natural obstacles, when it comes to face the natives it will be too weak to invade.

What motivates civilizations to take risks by exploring and colonizing new territories? Describe two motivations for colonizatio
expeople1 [14]

Answer:

Usually famine causes angst between the weakened civilation so the owners of said territories usually hunt for more fertile land so they can sustain their growing population without having being thrown out of power and slain, its often better to satisfy the people who you govern rather than to exterminate to govern the population steadily.

and to own more land is more money and more power for such rulers, if they own more land they can tax more people, and if they own fertile land they can grow crops to sustain themselves, and the people they govern, satisfying the ruler AND the people.
