Order the events to describe a rock's progression from igneous to

Geography
1 answer:
valentinak56 [21]3 years ago
4 0

Explanation:

Lava Cools on the side of a volcano

Storms erode the hardened lava

Particles of hardened water settle at the bottom of lakes

Layers of sediments bond underwater

Plate movement bakes sedimentary layers.

 

 Since the transition is from igneous to sedimentary to metamorphic rocks;

  • Lava which is magma or molten rock that reaches the surface cools and solidifies to form a volcano.
  • Weathering and erosion of the volcano then proceeds and sediments are formed
  • The sediments are further carried underwater where they harden at bottom of lakes.
  • Layers of the sediments bond and cements together underwater to form sedimentary rocks.
  • Tectonic activities further bakes the layers to form metamorphic rocks.

The news media state that glaciers are melting. Can you find examples of glacial melting prior to the evolution of humans in the
olga55 [171]

Answer:

Glacial retreat occurs when ice melts faster than it forms.

Explanation:

Glaciers are large, slow-moving masses of land ice formed by the recrystallization of snow. For complex reasons, if the worldwide climate becomes cooler, and snow accumulates faster than it melts, the glaciers grow larger and cover more land. 10% of the Earth's surface today is covered by glaciers. Antarctica and Greenland are virtually covered by glaciers. At the height of past glacial ages, 32% of the Earth was covered by glacial ice. Most of Chicago is covered by glacial or glacial-related deposits.

Greenhouse (warm) periods: extensive and prolonged volcanic activity produces excessive carbon dioxide Thus based on above the glaciers have been melted in the recent past and still continue.  

Apart from this, the climate will cool again at the end of global warming and climate change. The natural cycle will change and raising the carbon content along with sea levels.

In a short paragraph, explain the various waves of immigration to the United States. What groups were part of each of these wave
VMariaS [17]

Answer:

sorry if its too big.

Explanation:

U.S. immigration has occurred in waves, with peaks followed by troughs (see figure). The first wave of immigrants, mostly English-speakers from the British Isles, arrived before records were kept beginning in 1820. The second wave, dominated by Irish and German Catholics in the 1840s and 1850s, challenged the dominance of the Protestant church and led to a backlash against Catholics, defused only when the Civil War practically stopped immigration in the 1860s.

The third wave, between 1880 and 1914, brought over 20 million European immigrants to the United States, an average of 650,000 a year at a time when the United States had 75 million residents. Most southern and eastern European immigrants arriving via New York’s Ellis Island found factory jobs in Northeastern and Midwestern cities. Third-wave European immigration was slowed first by World War I and then by numerical quotas in the 1920s.

Between the 1920s and 1960s, immigration paused. Immigration was low during the Depression of the 1930s, and in some years more people left the United States than arrived. Immigration rose after World War II ended, as veterans returned with European spouses and Europeans migrated. The fourth wave began after 1965, and has been marked by rising numbers of immigrants from Latin America and Asia. The United States admitted an average 250,000 immigrants a year in the 1950s, 330,000 in the 1960s, 450,000 in the 1970s, 735,000 in the 1980s, and over 1 million a year since the 1990s.

Not all earthquakes are felt by people; however, such earthquakes are often detected on seismographs. Why?
kari74 [83]
The seismic activities are usually in areas that are not populated, plus, the activity is deep in the ocean or in the earth’s core.  The shifting of the earth's plates doesn't only occur on the surface,  some occur deep down in the surface, causing us not to feel them. <span> Moreover, seismographs are able to detect low frequencies, causing them to be able to detect even the slightest movement of the plates down under. </span>
