Metamorphism of pre-existing sedimentary or igneous rocks occurs by heat from nearby magma called an igneous intrusion.

Answer: Option C

<u>Explanation:</u>

Contact metamorphism occurs when the hot igneous rock thrusts into some some other rock which exists previously. Then the pre-existing rock is baked by heat and during this process no additional pressure is added and this leads to the change in the mineral structure of the rock. Contact metamorphism is occurred only with heat and not by adding any additional pressure on the rock.

Index fossils can provide information on the environment at the time they were deposited. True False
Anettt [7]

Answer: True

Explanation:

The index fossil are the fossils that are of animals and plants that remained preserved in the rock of the earth. It describes the particular span of the geological time or the environment. An index fossil can be easily recognized, is widely distributed and abundant.

The index fossil is the basis for defining the boundaries of the geological time scale with the correlation of the strata.

Those organisms which exhibited the short vertical range that is the life span on earth and the wide lateral range that is geographic distribution can be included as index fossil.

These fossils are indicative of the environment in which the organism used to live.

The Appalachian Mountains may have once been as lofty as the Himalayan-Tibetan Mountain belt is today. Why are they not this hig
marta [7]

The correct answer is - They formed long ago, and erosion has beveled them to their present elevation.

The Appalachian Mountain Range is one of the oldest mountain ranges on the planet. They have formed in the Ordovician Period, around 480 million years ago. When they formed and were at their peak, the Appalachians were much larger and higher than what they are in the present. The reason for their decline in size is attributed to the erosion. The erosion is a process that removes the material from its original position. This process has been influencing, at different rates, the Appalachians for almost half a billion years. Even though the erosion is not a process that acts very quickly, when put the time that it influenced these mountains we will see that it managed to lower them significantly. That process continues in the present, and in the manner in which the continents are moving, there shouldn't be any force that will help lift up the Appalachians again, but instead they will continue to shrink until they are flattened in the distant future.
