Answer:

Common minerals in metamorphic rocks include quartz, feldspar, mica, calcite, and hornblende. Index minerals in metamorphic rocks indicate how much the original rock was metamorphosed, called the grade of metamorphism. Index Minerals minerals include chlorite, epidote, garnet, staurolite, kyanite and sillimanite.

What term describes the rising and sinking of the lithosphere as material is added or removed?
Margaret [11]
<span>Composition. (We use the crust-mantle-core terminology to describe differences in chemical composition in Earth's interior. We use the lithosphere- asthenosphere terminology to describe differences the physical state and behavior. Note that the boundaries between layers with different compositions do not occur at the same depths as the boundaries between layers with different physical properties. For example, there is a change in composition when passing from crust into mantle. But there is no change in physical state or behavior at this boundary- the uppermost part of the mantle behaves in the same way that the crust does because it is still far enough below its melting temperature to be a rigid, brittle solid. The transition to a softer, more pliable solid occurs further down within the mantle and this change in behavior occurs with no change in composition.)</span>

What process is used to take atmospheric nitrogen and turn it into nitrates?​
andre [41]

Answer:

Nitrogen fixation

Explanation:

Certain soil bacteria, e.g., <em>Azobacter spp</em> can combine free nitrogen of the atmosphere with oxygen to form nitrates. This is called <u>nitrogen fixation</u>. Other nitrogen-fixing bacteria such as Rhizobium form symbiotic unions with the roots of leguminous plants called root nodules. They fix nitrogen to form nitrates which are used up by the host plant. Nitrifying soil bacteria, e.g., <em>Nitrobacter </em>convert nitrites to nitrates in a process called <u>nitrification</u>.

in a way everything we eat depends on photosynthesis describe how a breakfast of bacon and eggs depends on photosynthesis
Leokris [45]
Both chickens and pigs are omnivores so they eat scrap, grain, and most importantly for this subject vegetables and fruits. Vegetables and fruits both came from photosynthesis, so when we eat bacon and eggs we are eating pigs and chickens that ate plants and vegetables that gained energy due to photosynthesis. At least that’s what I think

Why are some of carl linnaeus’s classifications of organisms incorrect?
madreJ [45]

Answer:

Some of Carl Linnaeus classifications of organisms are incorrect because he classified them base on their appearances and actions

Explanation:

Carolus Linnaeus is the father of taxonomy, which is a system of naming and classifying organisms. He classifies organisms base on their appearances and actions instead of their relationships. He invented a system of classification called hierarchical system of classifications. This system include 8 taxa, dormain, kingdom, phylum, class, order, family,genus and species.

Stolb23 [73]

The bacteria which had mutation became resistant to the antibiotic and survived and keeps on increasing, promoting natural selection.

Explanation:

The bacteria rapidly divide, the chances of mutation in the gene increases manifold.

The strains of bacteria causing tuberculosis and staph infection got mutated at DNA level such that they became resistant to antibiotics when tested those susceptible did not survive. These mutations were not harmful to bacteria and the resultant bacteria survived.

These bacteria which survived and proliferated as the environment was in their favour.

Thus, Darwin's Theory of Natural Selection is acceptable here as it says if a mutation is occurring towards the increase in population, they will be selected ones.
