A granite can be transformed from an igneous rock to a sedimentary rock and then to a metamorphic rock or the sedimentary rock can be transformed back into granite again by metamorphism. First of all, a granite often occurs in mountains and is susceptible to weathering and erosion.. Weathering such as argillic weathering can help break t he rock down to its constituent minerals which are mostly quartz, orthoclase feldspar and biotite mica. This then gets washed down into the rivers and thence to the coast and gets deposited in a marine environment as part of a delta or alluvial fan, in the form of sand, silt, clay and gravel. As this sediment becomes compacted, it turns into rocks like sandstone, siltstone etc. With deeper burial and the addition of heat and pressure these rocks get converted into such metamorphic rocks as quartzites, slates and phyllites, etc. I have seen a meta sandstone grade into a granite in the Canadian Shield so granite can then form from metamorphic processes as well as igneous processes.
The Sikhs are the ethnic groups who wanted a separate state of their own. The Sikhs are a follower of Sikhism. It is a monotheist religion in the Punjab region of India. During 1940s, the Sikhs worried that their community would be left without a homeland thus they push through the idea of Khalistan, seeing it as a small state that is a part of Punjab region.
Answer:
B. P waves can travel through liquids
Explanation:
P waves or primary waves are elastic waves produced from an earthquake. They are the first waves that arrives a Seismic station when an earthquake disturbs the earth.
P and S waves are both body waves that moves within the earth.
P- waves travel faster than S- waves and can propagate through any medium. S-waves or Secondary waves are shear waves that can only propagate through soilds.
Both waves are longitudinal and moves parallel to their source of propagation. They move by disturbing other particles in their line.
Transverse waves are the love and rayleigh waves. They are both surface waves that travels and cause disturbance on the surface of the earth during an earthquake. They move up and down.
This movement is called convection. It can be found in liquids, gasses and rheids - solids that can also experience movement ( on a big time scale), such as the earth mantle. One of the types of convection is diffusion: net movement of gasses from higher to lower concentration areas.
