For People who live in Norway what is the best thing about Norway and would you recommend someone to move there?
masya89 [10]

First off, it is largely rural. There are a few medium-sized cities here, but other than that, this is a very rural area. The fact that our overall living standards are high and good is both a pro and a drawback; they are expensive, but most jobs pay well enough (well regulated minimum wages). The politicians, despite their flaws, are generally not outright wicked people who exploit us, and the checks and balances system works. It is one of the safest countries, fairly egalitarian, has no true social hierarchy (compared to most of the rest of the world), and has strong press freedom. Strong worker rights exist, and society as a whole functions well.  And of course its spacious and a lot of decent natural sites. Yeah, as another con i can add that it may be hard, unless you have a very outgoing personality to get friends  as an adult. Of course it is easier if you are in certain organizations (sports, hobby, religious).

trace the journey of a piece of granite through the rock cycle. Explain how this rock could be changed from an igneous rock to a
viva [34]
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.
