Answer: The role of water in metamorphism is determined by the independent variables rock pressure, temperature, water pressure, and the amount of water present.

Answer:

1) Water pressures lower than the rock pressure cause metamorphic reactions to run at lower temperatures.

2) Water facilitates the transfer of ions between minerals and within minerals, and therefore increases the rates at which metamorphic reactions take place. So, while the water doesn’t necessarily change the outcome of a metamorphic process, it speeds the process up so metamorphism might take place over a shorter time period, or metamorphic processes that might not otherwise have had time to be completed are completed.

3) Water, especially hot water, can have elevated concentrations of dissolved substances, and therefore it is an important medium for moving certain elements around within the crust. So not only does water facilitate metamorphic reactions on a grain-to-grain basis, it also allows for the transportation of ions from one place to another. This is very important in hydrothermal processes, which are discussed toward the end of this chapter, and in the formation of mineral deposits.

What is not a unique property of water

timofeeve [1]

Answer:

Water molecules stick together by cohesion

Explanation:

This sticking together of like substances is called cohesion. Depending on how attracted molecules of the same substance are to one another, the substance will be more or less cohesive. Hydrogen bonds cause water to be exceptionally attracted to each other. Therefore, water is very cohesive.

Cross bridges are created when myosin heads bind to _____

lord [1]

Cross bridges are created when myosin heads bind to ATP. This phenomenon is basically muscle contraction at work. In order for myosin heads to be bound with ATP at the actin active site, it must be excited with Calcium.

Once myosin heads bind with ATP, it begins to slide and perform muscle contractions in the body, allowing a person to move.
