Answer:

How rocks change from one type to another and which processes are involved in rock changes.

Explanation:

We know that there are three types of major rocks. Those are: igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic. The rock cycle describes how the three major rock types convert from one to another.

Changing in rocks happens as a result of natural processes that are taking place all the time. Most of the changes happen very slowly. Rocks that are in the deep within the Earth are right now becoming other types of rocks. Rocks at the surface are lying in place before they are next exposed to a process that will change them to another rock. Even at the surface, we may not notice the changes in the rocks.

Along with this, a rock cycle describes those process which involves in this rocks transformation process. It represents various environmental factors that are related to the change of the rock from one to another.

Convection in the upper mantle
xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

D) movement of the tectonic plates.

Explanation:

Lets understand first what convection is. It refers to the process through which denser material sinks and less dense material rises. This is because less dense material is more buoyant than denser one.

The earth is composed of water, rocks and air and all these things lower their density when there occurs an increase in their temperature.

So what happens when convection occurs in the upper mantle of earth, it raises the less dense material called magma  in uprising direction, because of the extreme heat in the Earth’s core. When molten lava moves upwards it moves in a fashion of convection, but then it cools down and sinks again.

As the earth surface is made up of tectonic plates. Scientists believe that when convection occur in mantle layer, it causes the movement of plates, This movement can be away from, or towards each other. The movement of tectonic plates causes shifts continents, ocean basins, earthquakes and pushes up mountains.


So D is best option.

Hope it helps!

As a transcription factor

Explanation:

Testosterone is a male sex hormone secreted by the testicles which promote the growth of the male reproductive organs and the male characters like muscle buildup.

The hormone shows the paracrine effect and thus act on the target cell at distant. The mechanism of action of the testosterone is that it controls the gene expression of various other genes.

The testosterone binds the specific proteins which activate the expression of the gene that is they acts as a transcription factor which activates the expression.  

Thus, as a transcription factor is correct.
