Write a sentence that explains the importance of uplift in the rock cycle

Biology
1 answer:
Vedmedyk [2.9K]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

        Just like sedimentary rocks, metamorphic rocks can be forced to the Earth's surface too. All this movement can cause rocks that were once underground to be brought up to the Earth's surface. This process is called uplift. Once exposed to the elements the rock on the Earth's surface begins to weather and erode.

How does accretion add to the surface area of a continent?
vodomira [7]

Accretion is a process by which material is added to a tectonic plate or a landmass. This material may be sediment, volcanic arcs, seamounts or other igneous features. There are two types of geologic accretion—plate accretion and landmass accretion. The Plate accretion involves the addition of material to a tectonic plate. The Landmass accretion involves the addition of sediment to a coastline or riverbank, increasing land area.

Foodborne pathogens often require the presence of a large number of microbes before an active infection results. These microbes
Dvinal [7]

The virulence of the microbes should be high to cause an active infection.

Explanation:

Virulence is the actual potential or ability of a pathogenic microbe to infect a host. Even with a high median infectious dose to cause an infection, it is the virulence which defines the level of pathogenicity or ability of the pathogens like the foodborne pathogens to cause and active infection.

An active infection is caused when virulence of the pathogen is high. The virulence factors are surface receptors, surface coats, and toxins.

Virulent bacteria cause active infection by adhesion, colonization, invasion, immune response inhibitors, or as toxins. A virulent virus replicates rapidly and modifies the host’s defensive mechanism
