Become Metamorphic Rock. Easy Peasy :)

Answer:

Metamorphic rock

Explanation:

Igneous rocks are the rocks that are formed due to the crystallization of magma at or below the earth's surface. The size of the crystals in these rocks is directly dependent on the rate of cooling. These igneous rocks contain magma with either a high amount of silica or a lesser amount of silica. For example, Granite, Rhyolite, Syenite.

These igneous rocks when subjected to the extremely high pressure and temperature condition, then it turns into a metamorphic rock. These are marked by the higher grade of metamorphism. They are commonly found on the earth at certain depths.  

In general, metamorphic rocks are the secondary rocks that are directly derived from the pre-existing sedimentary, metamorphic or igneous rocks. For example, Schist, Gneiss, Quartzite.

Hence, an igneous rock can change into a metamorphic rock due to the increasing temperature and pressure condition.

9. a) How does hydrogen bonding help the transport of water in plants?
grigory [225]

Answer:

Water has a high Cohesion because of Hydrogen bonding. This is important as transport of water in the Xylem in plants relies on water being pulled up. Cohesion also gives the water a high surface tension, allowing small organisms, such as Pond Skaters, to walk along it.

Explanation:

Water molecules forming hydrogen bonds with one another. The partial negative charge on the O of one molecule can form a hydrogen bond with the partial positive charge on the hydrogens of other molecules. Water molecules are also attracted to other polar molecules and to ions.

Plants obtain the hydrogen they need from water molecules. Don't try to feed your plant hydrogen gas -- your plant wouldn't know what to do with it if you did. As long as they have water, plants can readily obtain all the hydrogen they need. :)
