Explain when each of the following process occur in the rock cycle- Compaction and Cementation, Melting; Cooling and hardening, Heat, pressure, weathering and Erosion.​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The rock cycle shows how the earth's rocks are changed again and again. The rocks can be changed at times to another type of rock. The rock cycle can begin anywhere in the cycle. Here’s how it works…

• Igneous rocks start as magma. Technically, ALL rocks start as magma.

• The magma (molten rock under the surface) and lava (molten rock on the surface) hardens into igneous rock.

• The igneous rock then breaks apart over time through the process of weathering.

• These bits of broken rock are washed away by rains and deposited in a river.

• These pieces of igneous rocks are cemented together with other bits of rock and form a sedimentary rock called conglomerate.

• Over time sedimentary rocks can be buried by earthquakes or other geologic processes.

• Being buried deep under the surface in areas of high temperatures and pressures or coming in contact with magma can cause these sedimentary rocks to change to metamorphic rocks.

• Metamorphic, sedimentary or igneous rocks can be remelted to form magma, beginning at the beginning

again.

Hope this helps!

What determines whether a metamorphic rock is foliated or non-foliated?

Answers

Answer:

Foliated metamorphic rocks such as gneiss, phyllite, schist, and slate have a layered or banded appearance that is produced by exposure to heat and directed pressure. Non-foliated metamorphic rocks such as hornfels, marble, quartzite, and novaculite do not have a layered or banded appearance.

Explanation:

Answer: Foliated rocks have layers you can see, non foliated rocks don't have layers.

True or false: The pressure of gas cannot vary directly with temperature

Answers

Answer:

i believe its true

Answer:

true

Explanation:

The pressure of a given amount of gas is directly proportional to its absolute temperature, provided that the volume does not change (Amontons's law). The volume of a given gas sample is directly proportional to its absolute temperature at constant pressure

What are the pros and cons of GMO's

Answers

Answer: A pro '' Easier to ship and resistance to pest.'' A con '' Environmental risk and only rich countries can afford it.''

Explanation:

Advantages of GMO foods include added nutrients, fewer pesticides, and cheaper prices and disadvantages of GMO foods can be allergic reactions or increased antibiotic resistance.

What do you mean by genetically modified organisms?

Genetically modified (GM) foods are foods derived from organisms whose genetic material (DNA) has been modified in a way that does not occur naturally, e.g. through the introduction of a gene from a different organism.

Most of the GMO crops grown today were developed to help farmers prevent crop and food loss and control weeds. The three most common traits found in GMO crops are: Resistance to certain damaging insects.

Potential health risks to humans include the possibility of exposure to new allergens in genetically modified foods, as well as the transfer of antibiotic-resistant genes to gut flora.

However, these B cells do not live for very long on their own. To keep the B cells growing for a long time in laboratories, scientists fuse the B cells with cancer cells (fused B-cancer cells) that do grow for a very long time. The particular cancer cells used for the fusion are treated with chemicals that make them unable to produce the nitrogenous bases adenine and guanine, but the B cells with which they are fused do produce these nitrogenous bases. The scientists grow the large fused B-cancer cells in a growth medium that contains necessary nutrients for the cells and includes a source of carbon. (a) Describe the role of carbon in biological systems. (b) The membranes of both B cells and the cancer cells are largely composed of phospholipids. Explain how, when the membranes are fused, the polar parts of the phospholipids from one cell will interact with the phospholipids from the other cell and how the nonpolar parts of the phospholipids from one cell will interact with the phospholipids from the other cell. (c) Make a claim about the most immediate effect on the fused B-cancer cells if the fused cells are transferred to a growth medium that lacks a source of nitrogen.
