The rock cycle is a basic concept in geology that describes the time-consuming transitions through geologic time among the three main rock types: sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous. As the adjacent diagram illustrates, each of the types of rocks is altered or destroyed when it is forced out of its equilibrium conditions. An igneous rock such as basalt may break down and dissolve when exposed to the atmosphere, or melt as it is subducted under a continent. Due to the driving forces of the rock cycle, plate tectonics and the water cycle, rocks do not remain in equilibrium and are forced to change as they encounter new environments. The rock cycle is an illustration that explains how the three rock types are related to each other, and how processes change from one type to another over time. This cyclical aspect makes rock change a geologic cycle and, on planets containing life, a biogeochemical cycle.
Plate movements drive the rock cycle by pushing rocks back into the mantle, where they melt and become magna again. Plate movements also cause the folding, faulting and uplift of the crust that move rocks through the rock cycle.

Answer:
67
Explanation:
- The atomic number (Z) of an atom is equal to the number of protons in the nucleus
- The mass number (A) of an atom is equal to the sum of protons and neutrons in the nucleus
Therefore, calling p the number of protons and n the number of neutrons, for element X we have:
Z = p = 23
A = p + n = 90
Substituting p=23 into the second equation, we find the number of neutrons:
n = 90 - p = 90 - 23 = 67
I think the first question is talking about the ionic compound Sodium sulfide and it’s formula is Na2S.
And for the second question, i’m pretty sure it’d be a positive charge
Answer: 10 and 35 degrees
Explanation: Localizers width below 10 degree and 35 degree signal arc is unreliable and considered unusable for navigation and as a result, aircrafts may loose alignment
None of the choices is an appropriate response.
There's no such thing as the temperature of a molecule. Temperature and
pressure are both outside-world manifestations of the energy the molecules
have. But on the molecular level, what it is is the kinetic energy with which
they're all scurrying around.
When the fuel/air mixture is compressed during the compression stroke,
the temperature is raised to the flash point of the mixture. The work done
during the compression pumps energy into the molecules, their kinetic
energy increases, and they begin scurrying around fast enough so that
when they collide, they're able to stick together, form a new molecule,
and release some of their kinetic energy in the form of heat.
