Why are Metamorphic Rocks more resistant to weathering and erosion than Sedimentary Rock?

Geography
1 answer:
dlinn [17]3 years ago
7 0

answer:

The rock is more dense.

Explanation:

If you look at the rock cycle, you'll see when sedimentary rock goes under extreme heat and pressure, it becomes metamorphic rock. So the metamorhpic rock is so much more dense that the rock is like a sedimentary times ten! I mention it's more dense because they're is more rock to erode away. Making it much harder to wear away the metamorphic rock.

Ocean

Explanation:

The ocean is the final basin that collects all water on the earth surface. Rivers and streams inland all flows sea ward and collects in oceans.

As the last drainage basin, it is the largest pool of water on the earth surface. It occupies about 70% of the total land area.

  • In the hydrologic cycle, water transitions between the land and the atmosphere in a cyclic fashion presenting water in different states of matter.
  • For water to move into the atmosphere, it is evaporated from the land area and through evapotranspiration process in plants.
  • The ocean being the largest water body on the earth surface is the largest source of water into the atmosphere.
  • About 90% of all the water vapor is made up of the those evaporated from the surface of the ocean.

Which statement BEST explains the overall success or failure of the Compromise of 1850?
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

The statement that BEST explains the overall success of the Compromise of 1850 is The compromise was largely successful due to its effectiveness in resolving sectional tensions.

Explanation:

The Compromise of 1850 was largely successful because it helped to resolve a number of rising tensions between the States. The compromise was actually 5 different bills that were passed by Congress. The Mexican-American War had fueled tensions between the northern and southern states as they had acquired a vast expanse of new territory including New Mexico, Utah, and California. Texas had been claiming the area of present-day New Mexico but the federal government took over Texas' debt to get Texas to give up their claim. California was admitted to the Union as a free state, and the other areas of the Mexican succession were allowed to decide if they would allow slavery or not.

Through (-4,-3), 1 to 2y – 8x = -6
Artemon [7]

Explanation:

The form y = mx + b gives the equation of a straight line where m is the slope of the line(the gradient) and b is the intercept of the line and the y axis.

All lines with the same gradient (i.e. the same number in front of the x) are parallel.

First, let's rearrange your line equation into the correct form of y = mx + b

2y-8x=-10 Move the x term across the equals sign, changing its sign as we do so 2y = 8x - 10 Now divide by 2 (through the whole equation) to get rid of the 2y and just leave y. y = 4x - 5 Now we can see that the line we want has a gradient of 4. it also intercepts the y axis when y = -5 The line we want is therefore y = 4x - 5 It is the same line as the one given!
