2-Part of Hall of Planet Earth. There are three kinds of rock: igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic.

3-Intrusive rocks are formed from magma that cools and solidifies within the crust of the planet. When lava comes out of a volcano and solidifies into extrusive igneous rock, also called volcanic, the rock cools very quickly.

4-Igneous rocks are formed from lava or magma. Magma is molten rock that is underground and lava is molten rock that erupts out on the surface. The two main types of igneous rocks are plutonic rocks and volcanic rocks. Plutonic rocks are formed when magma cools and solidifies underground.

stira [4]

Answer:

Rate of decrease = 3.25 levels/min

Explanation:

the hormone and signaling proteins combination that produce the greatest and most prolonged response as seen in the graph is INSULIN and  PROTEIN KINASE. The protein kinase B level gets up to 100 after 30minutes and as well as insulin gets added while the level  remained to near 80 even after 240minutes.

The STAT 5 level at the 10th minutes = 100

The level of STAT 5 at 30th minute = 35

From 10 to 30 minutes, the level of STAT 5 = 100 – 35

From 10 to 30 minutes, the level of STAT 5 = 65

Duration = 30 – 10 minutes

Duration = 20 minutes

Rate of decrease = 65/20

Rate of decrease = 3.25 levels/min
