How does water effect metamorphic process

Biology
2 answers:
EleoNora [17]3 years ago

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.

Which of the following is not an example of active transport? I. Facilitated diffusion II. Osmosis III. Diffusion
klasskru [66]
I. Facilitated diffusion is your answer. 
Active transport <span>is the movement of molecules across a cell membrane into a region of higher concentration, this process requires energy. Both osmosis and diffusion are passive transportations which means that they don't require energy.
Hope this helps!

Think about a natural resource that everyone in your community uses, such as the air in Earth's atmosphere or drinking water. Wh
Greeley [361]

Answer:

Explanation:

The rights of the resource depends on the resource in question. For example, an abundant resource such as Air would be considered a birthright, and no one can actually hold the rights to it, also since it cannot be taken. On the other hand, limited resources such as water would fall under the rights of the landowner. Therefore, any and all land property rights in the country would apply to the body of water, limited to the boundaries of the land. Meaning that if a stream or body of water passes the individual's land it is also within the rights of the owner of the other piece of land in which the water passes through.
