Evgen [1.6K]3 years ago

Answer:

sedimentary - pieces of rock are loosened by weathering, then transported to some basin or depression where sediment is trapped. If the sediment is buried deeply, it becomes compacted and cemented, forming sedimentary rock.

igneous - form when hot, molten rock crystallizes and solidifies.

Explanation:

metamorphic - forms when rocks are subjected to high heat, high pressure, hot mineral-rich fluids or, more commonly, some combination of these factors.

there are three main type of rock is sedimentary and metamorphic each of the rock these rocks are formed by physical changes such as melting point eroding contacting or deformed that are part of the rock cycle sedimentary rocks are formed from pieces of other existing blog or organic material

What is fusion and how does it relate to e=mc squared?

E = mc2 Meaning

At the beginning of the 20th century, the notion of mass underwent a radical revision. Mass lost its absoluteness. One of the striking results of Einstein’s theory of relativity is that mass and energy are equivalent and convertible one into the other. Equivalence of the mass and energy is described by Einstein’s famous formula E = mc2. In words, energy equals massmultiplied by the speed of light squared. Because the speed of light is a very large number, the formula implies that any small amount of matter contains a very large amount of energy. The mass of an object was seen to be equivalent to energy, to be interconvertible with energy, and to increase significantly at exceedingly high speeds near that of light. The total energy of an object was understood to comprise its rest mass as well as its increase of mass caused by increase in kinetic energy.

In special theory of relativity certain types of matter may be created or destroyed, but in all of these processes, the mass and energy associated with such matter remains unchanged in quantity. It was found the rest mass an atomic nucleus is measurably smaller than the sum of the rest masses of its constituent protons, neutrons and electrons. Mass was no longer considered unchangeable in the closed system. The difference is a measure of the nuclear binding energy which holds the nucleus together. According to the Einstein relationship (E = mc2) this binding energy is proportional to this mass difference and it is known as the mass defect.

Which processes will all living things use to maintain homeostasis
navik [9.2K]
The organism (Living thing), utilizes energy, can detect changes in the environment it is in, and can rearrange and synthesize chemical compounds. 

Some things to remember, Living organisms need to be able to reproduce, obtain energy, usually by eating food in order to work. They need the ability to maintain structure, a body. They need to be able to react to a change, whether it be external or internal. The organism must be able to dispose of waste. Needs the ability to grow and develop. Must be able to move. and finally death. <span />
