In the above case, rock L and rock F does not undergo contact metamorphism because the rock unit F was only deposited after the intrusion of the rock layer L.  

Explanation:

Contact metamorphism rocks are formed as a result of static thermal metamorphism and high temperature at regions adjacent to hot intrusive igneous rocks within the metamorphic zone called the contact aureole. This takes place either through heat contact or contact alternation metamorphism. When the hot molten magma reaches an already formed rock body, the older rock body will undergo changes due to hot magma infiltration.

In the above case, rock I does not undergo contact metamorphism because the rock unit F deposited earlier in the process.  

The contact metamorphism can occur only within a small radius ( mostly 1-10 km) of the contact aureole which is heated by the hot magma. The heat should be sufficient enough to break the adjacent rocks and change their structure.  The timing of formation of both rocks is also a gradient deciding contact metamorphism between both rocks.

In this food chain, energy moves from one living thing to another. What source of energy starts this food chain?
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

How do you work out energy transfer in a food chain?

Within the food chain energy can be passed and transferred from one organism to another. Whilst mammals get their energy sources from food – whether this be eating other animals or eating vegetation; plants get their energy from photosynthesis. Energy is passed between organisms through the food chain.

Why might scientist be interested inn making transgenic organisms
VikaD [51]
Because they provide new insights in the research for biotechnology and other useful resources to the knowledge of biology.

<span>Transgenic means that one or more DNA sequences from another species has been introduced by artificial means. For example, animals usually are made transgenic by having a small sequence of DNA injected into a fertilized egg or developing  embryo. Transgenic plants can be made by introducing foreign DNA into a variety of different tissues.</span>
