Answer:
C. Heat and Pressure
Explanation:
The arrow which is labeled A points from igneous rock to metamorphic rock.
There are three types of Rocks:
1. Igneous Rock
2. Metamorphic Rock
3. Sedimentary Rock
Rock cycle:
Rock cycle is the process that describes the transition between these three types of rocks. Each type has its own form and its own equilibrium condition. The rock type alters when it is pushed out of its equilibrium conditions.
Transition of Igneous rock to Metamorphic rock:
Igneous rock forms when magma cools down. The transition of Igneous Rock to Metamorphic Rock is a result of a process called Metamorphism. Metamorphism is the alteration in the structure of rock as a result of certain heat and pressure conditions. Inside Earth heat comes from pressure. Heat with pressure does not melt the rock but it bakes the rock. Baking is not melting but it changes the shape of the rock while it is still solid. It actually forms crystals. Because the rock changes its structure, it is called Metamorphic Rock.
Answer:
d. Imaginary point through which the resultant force of gravity acts on an object
Explanation:
Gravity acting on all particle points of the object, no matter how small they are. As a combination, the center of gravity would denote a single point which substitutes for all the gravity forces on the object.
Answer:
R / 64
Explanation:
Let he length of the wire is L and its resistance is R.
The resistance of the wire is directly proportional to the length of the wire. As the wire is cut into 8 equal pieces so the resistance of small wire is R/8.
Now they are connected in parallel.
The equivalent resistance is given by


Thus, the equivalent resistance of the new cable is R / 64.
Sediments are pieces of rock that come from other rocks that were eroded or broken by wind, water or other mechanical forces. Debris are pieces of other materials that were also swept away.
When these sediments and debris settle, they create layers. These layers are called beds. In time, several layers of other sediments and debris form on top of each other which press down onto the previous layers. Because of the pressure from the weight of the newer layers, the sediments and debris are pressed together and go through cementation. These then produce sedimentary rocks.
Metamorphic rocks form when rocks undergo heat and pressure. The heat comes from the friction resulting from the pressure. The heat can also come from radioactive decay. The rocks then slowly bake into new rocks called metamorphic rocks.
Igneous rocks form when magma and lava cool down. Magma is molten fluid found beneath the surface of the Earth. Lava is magma that has reached the surface of the Earth. When they cool down, they crystallize which make igneous rocks.
The difference between intrusive and extrusive igneous rocks is that one is made beneath the Earth and the other is made on the surface of the Earth. When magma cools, it takes a long time and the product of this cooling are intrusive igneous rocks. On the other hand, extrusive igneous rock is the result of lava cooling, which does not take as long to cool down because it occurs on the surface of the Earth.
Examples of the following types of rocks:
Sedimentary: limestone, sandstone, siltstone
Metamorphic: Marble, gneiss, slate
Igneous: Gabbro (intrusive), granite (Intrusive), obsidian (extrusive)
