Where might you find mountains of metamorphic rock?

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.

Answer the following:
Black_prince [1.1K]

1. A) carnivore; third

The trophic levels are divided by the manner in which the energy is produced and consumed among the living organisms. The first trophic level is occupied by the autotrophs, which are the organisms that are able to produce their own food. The second trophic level is occupied by the organisms that feed upon the autotrophs, thus they are the herbivores, as well as the omnivores in partial sense. In this case we will have the ants at the second level. The third trophic level is reserved for the organisms that feed upon the organisms of the second trophic level, thus they are predators. In this case, we will have the wasp in the third trophic level.

2. B) consumption; 20

If there are herbivores and plants, the plants account for 1,000 kg in biomass, and the herbivores eat 200 kg of them, then the consumption is 20% of the total biomass. This kind of a scenario is able to support the whole population of herbivores without any problem, as there is much more food than they need. It will only become a problem if the population of herbivores starts to grow exponentially, and they start to consume all of the food and even require more, the population will collapse.

3. C) N20

The processes and nitrification and denitrification are very common, both in nature, and because of the human activity. The human activity has actually increased this process significantly. The main product of the nitrification-denitrification is the N2O. It is a vital product for the nitrogen cycle, and it is one that is increasing the atmospheric temperature, thus too much of it is not of best interest for anyone.

Answer:

Radio noise is a combination of natural electromagnetic atmospheric noise created by electrical processes in the atmosphere like lightning, manmade radio frequency interference from other electrical devices picked up by the receiver's antenna, and thermal noise present in the receiver input.
