Answer:

Ensuring a sustainable supply of food for the world's fast growing population is a major challenge. Food production is one of the key areas that require action, alongside issues of food consumption, nutrition and food security.

It is estimated that by 2050 the world's population will reach 9.1 billion (34% higher than today). Food production will need to increase by 70% to feed the larger and most likely more urban population.1 More food will have to be produced using less land. In addition water and energy will become limiting factors.

Added to the challenge is that sustainable food products need to be nutrient-dense to allow people to have a diverse diet that contains a balanced and adequate combination of energy and nutrients to support good health.

The core of a mountain range that formed during regional metamorphism would contain a _____ metamorphic facies.

irinina [24]

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

Most metamorphic rocks are formed from regional metamorphism. When two plates collide, it causes the release of large amount of pressure, this causes a deformation (folding and faulting) of the rock. As a result of the collision, the denser plate may be forced under the less dense plate thereby causing the rock to fall deep where they are subjected to high pressure and temperature.

Regional metamorphism produces green schist facies, amphibolite facies and granulite facies.
