Where does regional metamorphism usually occur ?

Answer:

Regional metamorphic rocks form from other rocks (protoliths) by changes in mineralogy and texture in response to changing physical conditions (temperature, lithostatic pressure, and, in most cases, shear stress). Regional metamorphism occurs over broad areas in the lithosphere, possibly influenced by the heat supply. Regional metamorphic rock results from regional metamorphism and usually develops a flaky texture.  These changes are essentially solid-state reactions, but very often a fluid phase is present, either participating in the reaction or as a reaction medium. Many regional metamorphic rocks have a chemical composition that is very similar to that of their sedimentary or igneous precursors, with the exception of removal or addition of volatiles (mainly H2O and CO2). This type of behavior is termed isochemical metamorphism. Metamorphism may also take place as a result of a change in chemical environment; this may occur by transport of elements between chemically contrasting rock types (e.g., formation of calc-silicate minerals at a quartzite–marble contact) or by circulation of fluids that dissolve some substances and precipitate others. This process of significant chemical change during metamorphism is known as allo-chemical metamorphism or metasomatism, and rocks formed in this manner are metasomatic rocks. Metasomatism is, however, mostly of local significance, and the total volume of metasomatic rocks in regional metamorphic terranes is rather minor. The distinction between metasomatism and is chemical metamorphism is also a matter of scale. On the scale of individual grains, mass transport takes place during all phase transformations; on the scale of a thin section, it is probably the rule for regional metamorphism; on the scale of a hand (sized) specimen, it can be observed frequently; and on a larger scale, it is the exception.

Hope this Helps!

A block of ice has edge lengths of 8.00 cm each and a mass of 476
valkas [14]
Density is calculated as mass divided by volume. If we are given an ice cube of side length 8.00 cm, then the volume of the cube is equivalent to (8.00 cm)^3 = 512 cm^3. Since we have a given mass of 476 g, we can divide:
476 g / 512 cm^3 = 0.930 g/cm^3
So the density of the sample of ice is 0.930 g/cm^3.

15A.4(a) What is the temperature of a two-level system of energy separation equivalent to 400 cm−1 when the population of the up
maksim [4K]

Answer:

T = 525K    

Explanation:

The temperature of the two-level system can be calculated using the equation of Boltzmann distribution:

\frac{N_{i}}{N} = e^{-\Delta E/kT}  (1)

<em>where Ni: is the number of particles in the state i, N: is the total number of particles, ΔE: is the energy separation between the two levels, k: is the Boltzmann constant, and T: is the temperature of the system </em>         

The energy between the two levels (ΔE) is:

\Delta E = hck    

<em>where h: is the Planck constant, c: is the speed of light and k: is the wavenumber</em>      

\Delta E = 6.63\cdot 10^{-34} J.s \cdot 3\cdot 10^{8}m/s \cdot 4 \cdot 10^{4}m^{-1} = 7.96 \cdot 10^{-21}J  

Solving the equation (1) for T:

T = \frac{-\Delta E}{k \cdot Ln(N_{i}/N)}  

<em>With Ni = N/3 and k = 1.38x10⁻²³ J/K, </em><em>the temperature of the two-level system is:</em><em> </em>

T = \frac{-7.96 \cdot 10^{-21}J}{1.38 \cdot 10^{-23} J/K \cdot Ln(N/3N)} = 525K                                  

I hope it helps you!
