Answer:

D. contact metamorphism

Explanation:

When there's a volcanic activity in certain area, very often it happens that there's magma that intrudes into the cold rock in the surrounding area. The intrusion of the hot magma into the cold rock layers causes big changes into the structure of the rocks. The high temperature and high pressure manage to influence the structure of the preexisting rocks, mostly on the places where the magma touches the cold rocks, leading to the formation of metamorphic rocks. This type of metamorphism is known as contact metamorphism.

<h3>What is starch ?</h3>

A polymeric carbohydrate called starch, also known as amylum, is made up of a lot of glucose units connected by glycosidic linkages. The majority of green plants synthesize this polysaccharide as a form of energy storage. It is the most prevalent type of carbohydrate consumed by people worldwide and is present in significant proportions in common foods like wheat, potatoes, maize (corn), rice, and cassava (manioc).

Pure starch is a powder that is white, odorless, tasteless, and insoluble in alcohol or cold water. It is made up of the branching amylopectin and the linear and helical amylose molecules. Starch typically comprises 20 to 25% amylose and 75 to 80% amylopectin by weight, depending on the plant. Animals store their energy in glycogen, which is a more intricately branched form of amylopectin.

alekssr [168]
The flow of energy starts in in you arms. You put your hands together, and use your arms to move your hands back and forth, this is kinetic energy. Your hands rubbing together causes the molecules to bump into each other, this is friction. As the molecules bump into each other they begin to move faster, and the fast movements of the molecules is what creates heat.
