In which type of environment might water soluble rocks such as limestone or dolostone become ridge formers?

1 answer:

8 0

I would say that the most likely environment for these two rock types to be ridge formers would be an arid climate like a desert where there was little water to dissolve. Also, even in a normal temperate environment, dolomite can form a very resistant ridge or cliff former as is the case with the Palliser Formation in Banff Park which forms a pronounced cliff which is very extensive.

What would happens if the igneous rock was first exposed to energy from earth´s interior

fenix001 [56]

Answer: If there is too much heat or pressure, the rock will melt and become magma. This will result in the formation of an igneous rock, not a metamorphic rock. Consider how granite changes form. ... When granite is subjected to intense heat and pressure, it changes into a metamorphic rock called gneiss.

A number of mutations have been described in the G protein Ras that have profound effects on its activity. For example, some mut

gladu [14]

Answer:

a mutation that blocks the GTPase activity of Ras

Explanation:

A G protein in inactive state is GDP bound but as soon as a guanine exchange factor (GEF) exchanges it with GTP it gets activated which means that in GTP bound state it is active. G - protein has endogenous GTPase activity. Upon interaction of GAP, the GTPase activity of this protein is exhibited. When GAP is present, hydrolysis of GTP into GDP occurs which leads to inactivation of G protein. A mutation which will block GTPase activity of Ras will therefore result in constitutive active signaling even in the absence of ligand binding to it's receptor. In such scenario, GTP will not be hydrolyzed into GDP so signaling will be up-regulated.
