6 0

Answer:

Sandstone is converted into quartzite through heating and pressure usually related to tectonic compression within orogenic belts.

Explanation:

When sandstone is cemented to quartzite, the individual quartz grains recrystallize along with the former cementing material to form an interlocking mosaic of quartz crystals.

What are some examples of how a cell's structure relates to its function in the body?
irakobra [83]

The structure and shape of each type of human cell depends on what function it will perform in the body. For example, red blood cells (RBCs) are very small, flat discs, which allows them to easily fit through narrow capillaries and around sharp corners in the circulatory system to deliver oxygen throughout the body.

The elongated shape of muscle cells allows the contraction proteins to line up in an overlapping pattern that makes muscle flexing possible.

And human sperm cells’ structures allow them to “swim” long distances to reach an egg for fertilization

What problems still exist in using natural regeneration?
qwelly [4]
Natural regeneration of forests and woodlands is the process by which new trees grow from seeds that have fallen and germinate where they have fallen.  The biggest problem with natural regeneration is that is unpredictable.  As a result, it cannot be used for commercial farming. For most of the last two or three hundred years, forests and woodlands have restocked by using transplants grown in nurseries. The young trees are planted in equidistant rows. This allows each tree the best possible change of optimal growth.
