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

After taking antibiotics for several weeks, a patient develops a severe bacterial infection in his intestines. The doctor claims
Leokris [45]

Answer:

Before the antibiotic, the ‘good’ bacteria had colonized her intestines and formed colonies that made up her biome. These colonies out-compete other bacteria, including ‘bad’ bacteria that tried to grow in the intestines hence protecting her intestines from infection.

However, the antibiotics wiped out the established colonies of ‘good’ bacteria –destroying her biome- and gave room for recolonization of the intestines by bacteria. The secondary succession gave a chance for the ‘bad’ bacteria to also thrive and cause her massive infections.
