What type of metamorphic rock is being formed in the figure above?

why is direct ed pressure and not confining pressure needed for this process? Answer : A Foliated metamorphic rock is being formed in the figure. Directed pre ssure is needed to align the mineral along a plane. Confining pressure would not creat the linear arrangement of the minerals Identify the property of magma that causes it to be forced upword towards Earth' s surface. Answeer: Magma is less dense than the surrounding rocks and is forced upward. Describe the process by which metamorphic rock can become sedimentary rock. Answer: Metamorphic rock can be broken into sediment by the porccesses of weathi ng, rosion and deposition. Through compaction and cementation, the sediment form s sedimentary rocks how do hot fluids act in metamorphism? Answer: Hot fluids are formed mainly of water and dissoled minerals. they can se ep through rocks and chemically reacts with the minerals in the rocks potentiall y chaning the compostion of the rock Sedimentary rocks is more common on the earth's surface than metamorphic rock or igneous rock. Explain why this is so. Answer: All 3 rocks types weather when they are uplifted of the Earth's surface, forming sediments that covers the earth's surface. What are the 3 main classes of rock? Answer : Igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic why do metamorphic rocks often form deep under the surface of the earth? Answer: the intense heat and pressure found deep below the earth's surface resul ts in the formation of metamorphic rocks. suppose you found an igenous rock that had almost even amounts of silica, iron a nd magnesium. How would you classify this rock?Why? answer : The rock is andesic. It has a mineral composition between granitic and basaltic rock. Granitic rocks have a lot of silica but less iron and magnesium. Basaltic rocks have a lot of iron and mag nesium but less silica. Nonfoliated rocks have very narrow layering. how are metamorphic rocks classified? Identify the characteristics of each of th ese classifications. Answer: Metamorphic rocks are classified as either foliated or non foliated. Fol iated rocks have layers of mineral grains. Nonfoliated rocks have little or no l ayering. how can one type or rock become many different types of metamorphic rock? answer: One rock can become many different types of metamorphic rock depending o n the heat, temperature, and fluid conditions during metamorphosis. For each item, tell which event would occur first. Gneiss is formed. The mineral grains in granite are flattened under pressure. Answer: The mineral grains in granite are flattened under pressure.

Give some examples of rocks that would be formed through the process depicted in the figure above. Answer: some examples of foliated metamorphic rock are slate and gnesis. Molten material cools and forms igneous rocks. Lava flows from a volcano. ______________________________________________________ Second Enviormental Class 32020 The Troposhere cotains 90% of the ozone in the atmosphere. Answer: False Over 95% of incoming UV-B radiation is absorbed in the stratoshpere. Answer: True Depletion to the ozone layer can cause changes to the biogeochemical cycles. Answer: True Halons cotain halogens, which are highly reactive with oxygen Answer : True How are indiviual atoms of oxygen formed in the stratosphere? Answer: (d) indiviuals oxygen atoms are formed when UV rays strike oxygen molec ules. Which of the following is a health risk associated with ground-level ozone ? Answer : Respiratory illness Where are chlorofluorocarbons found? Answer: All of the above Why are small quantites of chlorofluorcarbons so harmful to the oone layer? Answer : free oxygen atomsm can replace the chlorine in chlorine monoxide, relea sing a free atom of chlorine which can then recombine with an oxygen atom in ozo ne , destroying more ozone. when is ozone considered a pollutant? Answer : in the troposhere which of the following is a possible consequence of ozone layer depletion on liv ing organisms? Answer: increased exposure to ground-level ozone Which of the following is an ozone depleting substance (ODS)? Answer : chlorofluorcarbon (CFC) ______________________________________________________ 1st Science Class All models have limitations Answer : True Scientific modles can never be changed. Answer : False

Scientific models are based on current knowledgem which can limit their effectiv eness when new discoveries are made Answer : True Computer Models Are The only type of model that can be used to make predictions Answer : False which of the following scenarios represents the best use of scientific model? Answer: predicting weather patterns Scientific models can be used for a variety of different purposes. which of the following statement about scientfic models is not true? Answer : scientific models are used rarely which of the follow types of models is generally used to predict long term ecven ts? Answer : computer models Which of the following statments about phyical models is not true? Answer : phyical models are usually in the form of a graph which of the following types of models is usually in the form of a drawing , gra ph, or equation? Answer : Idea model which of the following is not a possible use for a scientfic model? Answer : Replace study of the larger system which of the following is not an example of a scientific model? answer: a data table the model of the solar system changed, because ___. answer: understanding of the solar system changed.
