Rocks form through a variety of processes. These processes require energy. Which statement best describes how the energy of Eart

h's interior contributes to the formation of rocks on its surface?
Biology

Explanation:

The energy of the earth's interior is known as the earth's internal energy. This powers the internal processes within the earth.

  • This energy is very important in the rock cycle for the formation of both igneous and metamorphic rock.
  • The energy is a product of frictional heating, radioactive decay of isotopes and heat that acreted when the earth was forming.
  • The internal engine is responsible for mantle convection in which molten rock from within the earth rises to the surface and denser slabs of the lithosphere falls back within.
  • It is responsible for the heating of sedimentary rocks to form metamorphic rocks around subduction zones.

The order is this:

[1.] formed when lava or magma harden

[3.] formed when sediments are compacted and cemented together.

[4.] a model that shows how rock undergoes processes to become different rocks.

[2.] formed by heat and pressure while buried deep below earths surface.

mojhsa [17]
The genetic code is being carried by the DNA molecules which are found in most organisms.
DNA it is called Deoxyribonucleic acid. It is a thread-like known as nucleotides which carry genetic instructions which are used for growth, functioning, development, and reproduction.
 Both RNA and DNA are nucleic acids. DNA stores biological information. DNA is the backbone in resistance cleavage and is made from alternating sugar and phosphate.

Compare and contrast the TWO classes of "seeded "plants.​
atroni [7]

Answer:

The seed plants are often divided arbitrarily into two groups: the gymnosperms and the angiosperms. The basis for this distinction is that angiosperms produce flowers, while the gymnosperms do not.

Explanation:

The seed plants are often divided arbitrarily into two groups: the gymnosperms and the angiosperms. The basis for this distinction is that angiosperms produce flowers, while the gymnosperms do not. This is poor form, since it defines the gymnosperms by the absence of a character, and not by any features that the organisms actually share. The gymnosperms do share a number of features, but, as should be obvious from the above cladogram, they are not more closely related to each other than to the angiosperms (Anthophyta). The features shared by gymnosperms were likely present in the early ancestors of the flowering plants as well. It should also be noted that the "progymnosperms" are represented by a box of a different color, in order to make it clear that they are not actually seed plants, but rather are included here because they are believed to be the closest relatives of the seed plants.

Systematics within the seed plants is poorly understood. Part of the problem is that most of the major groups have gone extinct, and several of the groups alive today consist primarily of plants with highly derived morphologies. The above cladogram is based largely on the work of Jim Doyle, a professor at UC Davis, and Michael Donoghue, currently at Harvard, and is therefore somewhat preliminary. It includes some questionable groupings not explicitly supported in their papers.
