Contact metamorphism occurs over a localized area when magma moves into the crust. true or false

Physics

GenaCL600 [577]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

TRUE

Explanation:

When the hot and less dense magma rises up towards the surface, the country rocks are heated due to the increasing temperature of the magma. This results in the formation of an aureole that surrounds the intruded magma body. This aureole is commonly known as the metamorphic aureole and contact metamorphism occurs in this area. This type of process occurs at a comparatively smaller area, and where there is a high temperature and low-pressure condition. For example, Hornfels and Marble.

Thus, the above-given statement is True.

Same speed, because mass is neglected. The things that affect the speed are the distance and speed of the rock.

when an object falls to the ground, only the object moves down but the earth's motion is not noticeable​.why?
vlada-n [284]
Both the object and earth pulls each other towards itself but since the mass and pulling force of objects are very small the pulling force of objects are negligible.

Anarel [89]

Answer:

Density of liquid = 4730 kg/m³

Atmospheric pressure on planet X = 8401.7 N/m²

Explanation:

Pressure, P = ρgh where ρ = density of liquid, g =9.8 m/s² and h = height of column at earth's surface = 2185 mm. Since P = atmospheric pressure, for mercury, P = ρ₁gh₁ where ρ₁ = 13.6 g/cm³ and h₁ = 760 mm

So, ρgh = ρ₁gh₁

ρ = ρ₁h₁/h = 13.6 g/cm³ × 760/2185 = 4.73 g/cm³ = 4730 kg/m³

The atmospheric pressure on planet X

P = ρg₁h₃     g₁ = g/4 and h₃ = 725 mm = 0.725 m

on planet X

P = ρg₁h₃ = (4730 kg/m³ × 9.8 m/s² × 0.725 m)/4 = 8401.7 N/m²
