Explain how the igneous rock granite forms. Then tell how the granite might become the sedimentary rock sandstone and then the metamorphic rock quartzite.
Answer:
There are three main types of rocks: sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic. Each of these rocks are formed by physical changes—such as melting, cooling, eroding, compacting, or deforming—that are part of the rock cycle. Sedimentary Rocks Sedimentary rocks are formed from pieces of other existing rock or organic material. There are three different types of sedimentary rocks: clastic, organic (biological), and chemical. Clastic sedimentary rocks, like sandstone, form from clasts, or pieces of other rock. Organic sedimentary rocks, like coal, form from hard, biological materials like plants, shells, and bones that are compressed into rock. The formation of clastic and organic rocks begins with the weathering, or breaking down, of the exposed rock into small fragments. Through the process of erosion, these fragments are removed from their source and transported by wind, water, ice, or biological activity to a new location. Once the sediment settles somewhere, and enough of it collects, the lowest layers become compacted so tightly that they form solid rock. Chemical sedimentary rocks, like limestone, halite, and flint, form from chemical precipitation. A chemical precipitate is a chemical compound—for instance, calcium carbonate, salt, and silica—that forms when the solution it is dissolved in, usually water, evaporates and leaves the compound behind. This occurs as water travels through Earth’s crust, weathering the rock and dissolving some of its minerals, transporting it elsewhere. These dissolved minerals are precipitated when the water evaporates. Metamorphic Rocks Metamorphic rocks are rocks that have been changed from their original form by immense heat or pressure. Metamorphic rocks have two classes: foliated and nonfoliated. When a rock with flat or elongated minerals is put under immense pressure, the minerals line up in layers, creating foliation. Foliation is the aligning of elongated or platy minerals, like hornblende or mica, perpendicular to the direction of pressure that is applied. An example of this transformation can be seen with granite, an igneous rock. Granite contains long and platy minerals that are not initially aligned, but when enough pressure is added, those minerals shift to all point in the same direction while getting squeezed into flat sheets. When granite undergoes this process, like at a tectonic plate boundary, it turns into gneiss (pronounced “nice”). Nonfoliated rocks are formed the same way, but they do not contain the minerals that tend to line up under pressure and thus do not have the layered appearance of foliated rocks. Sedimentary rocks like bituminous coal, limestone, and sandstone, given enough heat and pressure, can turn into nonfoliated metamorphic rocks like anthracite coal, marble, and quartzite. Nonfoliated rocks can also form by metamorphism, which happens when magma comes in contact with the surrounding rock. Igneous Rocks Igneous rocks (derived from the Latin word for fire) are formed when molten hot material cools and solidifies. Igneous rocks can also be made a couple of different ways. When they are formed inside of the earth, they are called intrusive, or plutonic, igneous rocks. If they are formed outside or on top of Earth’s crust, they are called extrusive, or volcanic, igneous rocks. Granite and diorite are examples of common intrusive rocks. They have a coarse texture with large mineral grains, indicating that they spent thousands or millions of years cooling down inside the earth, a time course that allowed large mineral crystals to grow.
Alternatively, rocks like basalt and obsidian have very small grains and a relatively fine texture. This happens because when magma erupts into lava, it cools more quickly than it would if it stayed inside the earth, giving crystals less time to form. Obsidian cools into volcanic glass so quickly when ejected that the grains are impossible to see with the naked eye. Extrusive igneous rocks can also have a vesicular, or “holey” texture. This happens when the ejected magma still has gases inside of it so when it cools, the gas bubbles are trapped and end up giving the rock a bubbly texture. An example of this would be pumice.

Which statement best supports the idea that water conservation is important for human societies?
OA Once humans use water, it cannot be reused ever again,
OB. Only about 1% of the freshwater on Earth is easily accessible.
OC Water is constantly being lost from the hydrosphere
OD. Most land animals use salt water instead of freshwater.
Answer:
Only about 1% of the freshwater on Earth is easily accessible.
Explanation:
Freshwater accounts for a minimal proportion of water resources on planet earth. About 70 percent of the world surface area is covered by water, but only about 2.5 percent of this mass of water is fresh. The remaining are marine or salt water. Amazingly, just about 1 percent of this freshwater is easily accessible. The other 1.5% is trapped in glaciers and snowfields.
This underscore the need for water conservation on the planet since fresh water is a scarce resource and people living in many areas have no access to fresh water.

With radiocarbon dating, scientists compare an object's carbon-14 levels with _____. the carbon-14 levels of an object from the same time period carbon-14 levels in the atmosphere the carbon-14 levels in the rock surrounding the object the object's carbon-12 levels
Answer:carbon-14 levels in the atmosphere
Explanation:
When carrying out radiocarbon dating, the level of carbon-14 in a sample is compared with the level of carbon 14 in the atmosphere because, objects exchange carbon-14 with the atmosphere.
Comparison of the activities of carbon-14 in the atmosphere and in the sample gives the age of the sample since the half-life of carbon-14 is a constant.

Choose the best description of a neap tide.
A. Neap tides produce during the highest tides of the month.
B. Neap tides happen during winter and summer.
C. Neap tides could be described as low high tides and high low tides.
D. A neap tide is the period halfway between tides when the tide changes direction.
Thank you!
Answer:
D. A neap tide is the period halfway between tides when the tide changes direction. (correction) Answer : C
Explanation:
Process of elimination can be used. First off, A is incorrect because neap tides have the smallest tidal range ; spring tides would fit this choice. B is incorrect since neap tides are specific to the first, and third quarter moons when the sun and moon are right angles. C is wrong because it is the other way around since high tides are a little higher than average and low tides are a little lower than average (correction) this is correct since higher low tides and lower high tides are closer together and have a smaller tidal range than standard tides(spring tides) with higher high tides, and lower low tides. D is correct because they occur halfway between the spring tides (correction): incorrect since a neap tides occur around a week(7 days) after a spring tide(moderate tides). There is no evidence this is true.
There are three patterns: diurnal(one high and low tides a day), semidiurnal(two high and low tides a day), and mixed(two high and low tides a day of different lengths).
The spring and neap tides are the types of tides involved with the low and high tides.

With some manipulation, the Rydberg equation can be rewritten in the form
E=constant×(1nf2−1ni2)
which allows you to calculate the energy of the emitted light. Express this constant in terms of the constants h, c, and RH using relationships between wavelength and energy as well as the Rydberg equation from the introduction.
Express the constant in terms of h and c, and RH.
Please help me with this question?
Answer:
attached below is the detailed solution
answer : value of constant = 2.18 * 10^-18 J
Explanation:
Express the constant in terms of h and c and RH
attached below is the detailed solution
Constant = [tex]h_{C} R_{H}[/tex]
= ( 6.626 * 10^-34 ) * ( 3 * 10^8 ) * ( 1.097 * 10^7 )
= 2.18 * 10^-18 J
The Planck equation and the light speed allow us to find the results for the transformation of the Rydberg equation are:
[tex]E = A ( \frac{1}{n_1^2}\frac{x}{y} - \frac{1}{n_2^2} )\\A= R_H \ h \ c \\A = 2.18 \ 10^{-18} j[/tex]
The Rydberg equation is an empirical expression that explains the wavelength of the emissions.
[tex]\frac{1}{\lambda } = R_H ( \frac{1}{n_1^2} - \frac{1}{n_2^2} )[/tex]
Where λ is the wavelength of the emitted radiation, is the Rydberg constant, n₁ and n₂ are integers with n₁ <n₂
It is asked to write the Rydberg equation for the energy.
Let's use the Planck relation.
E = h f
The light speed is related to the wavelength and frequency of radiation.
c = λ f
Where E is the energy, h the Planck constant, c the speed of light, λ the wavelength and f the frequency.
Let's substitute.
E = [tex]\frac{hc}{\lambda}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{1}{\lambda} = \frac{E}{hc}[/tex]
Let's substitute in the Rydberg equation.
[tex]\frac{E}{hc} = R_H ( \frac{1}{n_1^2} - \frac{1}{n_2^2}) \\E = R_H \ h \ c \ ( \frac{1}{n_1^2} - \frac{1}{n_2^2} )[/tex]
We can write is an constant of the form.
A = [tex]R_H h c[/tex]
The value of the constant is :
A = 1,097 10⁷ 6,626 10⁻³⁴ 3 10⁸
A = 2.18 10⁻¹⁸ J
In conclusion, using the Planck equation and the light speed we can find the results for the transformation of the Rydberg equation are
[tex]E = A ( \frac{1}{n_1^2} - \frac{1}{n_2^2} )\\ A = R_H h c\\[/tex]
A = 2.18 10⁻¹⁸ J

Explain why warm air temperature has lower air pressure than cold air?
Answer:
Differences in temperature cause differences in air density. Warmer air is less dense than cold, which is why warm air tends to rise and cold air sinks.
temparature affects particles. warm particles are more spread out.
Explanation:
. Being acted on by gravity, colder, denser air weighs more and exerts greater pressure per unit area.
