How does water effect metamorphic process

2 answers:

5 0

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 happens during the process of facilitated diffusion?

borishaifa [10]

This is where diffusion happens down the concentration gradient i.e. from high to low concentrations (just like simple diffusion) but facilitated diffusion requires a special and specific protein within the cell membrane. The substate binds to the receptor and the receptor itself changes conformation so that the substrate is now on the other side of the membrane. This is done for molecules that are too large to pass straight through the phospholipid bilayer (cell membrane) by simple diffusion e.g. glucose.

Convection cells occur because of the movement of heat. On which physical property of matter is this based? volume mass specific

klio [65]

Answer: density

Convection is the circular cycle of rising and falling of a liquid or gas as it becomes hotter or cooler. When a liquid or gas becomes hotter, its density decreases, which causes the substance to rise. After rising, the substance loses heat and becomes cooler, which increases its density. This causes the substance to fall or sink to the bottom.

What is not generally an implication stemming from an increase in the number of facilities?

Sever21 [200]

Answer:

The answer is A.

Explanation:

The question is not complete, here is the complete question:

Which of the following statements is NOT generally an implication stemming from an increase in the number of facilities?

A) decreased total logistics cost

B) quicker response

C) increased customer satisfaction

D) increased facility costs

Among the given options, having a decreased logistics cost would not be an implication of an increase in the number of facilities. All the other options are correct implications for a facility increase.

I hope this answer helps.
