Biology
1 answer:
maksim [4K]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Explanation:

Metamorphic rocks are harder and denser than their parent rocks because they started off the same as their parent rocks but at some point were met with extreme heat and pressure. These conditions melted and compressed the parent rocks so much that it created metamorphic rock that was extremely hard and dense. This is why metamorphic rocks are usually found deep under the Earth's surface.

The sense of the location of body parts in relation to the ground and each other is called?
Harman [31]

The sense of the location of body parts in relation to the ground and each other is called Kinesthetic sense. Bastian (1888) developed the word "kinaesthesia," which refers to the capacity to perceive the position and movement of our limbs and trunk.

It's a fascinating sense since, unlike our other senses like vision and hearing, we're mostly unconscious of it in our daily lives. Kinesthesia is the knowledge of the position and movement of bodily parts through the use of sensory organs known as proprioceptors, which are found in joints and muscles. Kinesthetic sense is concerned with how we can determine the location of our limbs.
