Answer:

As explained below.

Explanation:

  • As the sedimentary and igneous and metamorphic rocks are distinct from each other as they appear on the landscape but show similar internal properties and thus allowing us to recognize them from a distance.
  • <u>Sedimentary Rocks range from shake sandstone to limestone and conglomerate. While Metamorphic i.e foliated being Slate, Phyllite, Schist, and Gneiss, etc. While the Nonfoliated Metamorphic rocks  are Quartzite and Marble</u>.
  • Rocks revolve in there set rock cycle forming distinctive and newer rocks over the geologic time scale of earth. As each rock type is altered with force to produce the fro example a basalt rock when subducted and could be merged with the mantel to form in the water cycle.
  • As these are called secondary changes in the evolutionary phases of rocks which then can<u> transition into metamorphic rocks through the process of mountain building in the orographic belt</u>s.  
  • As a result, other rocks are recrystallized to form a sedimentary rock in its next phase which is unstable and subject to weathering. Transitions deeply impact the chemical and physical properties of rocks.

Which phrase describes a sill?
hammer [34]

This question is incomplete because the options are not given; here is the complete question:

Which phrase describes a sill?

A. Fills in valleys and rivers

B. Is a hardened magma intrusion

C. Cuts vertically through older rock layers

D. Is built up by numerous eruptions over thousands of years

The correct answer is B. Is a hardened magma intrusion

Explanation:

Sills are horizontal layers in the soil that form as a result of magma. Also, sills are considered sheet intrusion because the hardened magma gets into older rock layers or soil layers and cuts the rocks horizontally. Moreover, the type of intrusion is studied by geologists to understand the formation and age of soil layers and this differs from other intrusions due to its composition and horizontal formation. According to this, the correct answer is B.

You live in the northeast US, and over the course of a particular winter, you experienced frequent snow, poor weather, and well
jeyben [28]

Answer:

Mid latitude cyclone are low pressure regional cyclone system formed in 30 to 55 N or S. In this region continental polar and tropical air masses collide to form fronts. Fronts are the boundary between two air masses. This front pushes the warm air to the north and cold air to the south and generating a clockwise rotation. Cyclone starts to form from southwest and reaches mature stage to form a well developed cold front and warm front.This cyclone become weak, both cold and warm front merge as occluded front, this causes the snow and poor weather condition in northeast US, same time southwest is the formation zone, so mild temperature.

A section of a topographic map is shown below. What is the difference in elevation in meters between Point X and Point Y on the
musickatia [10]

The difference in elevation in meters between the points X and Y is 360.

Explanation:

On the presented map we can see that the relief is depicted with contour lines. The contour lines are marked with their elevations, or rather the main contour lines are, every fifth one. We also have the contour interval, which is 20 meters, thus giving us the basis so that we can find the difference in elevation between any points on the map.

What we know for sure from the map is:

  • the elevation is increasing from southeast toward northwest
  • the difference in elevation between the contour lines is 20 m
  • the difference in elevation between the main contour lines is 100 m

Point X is marked on the contour line of 1,600 m. Point Y is marked on the second contour line between the 1,200 m and 1,300 m contour lines, thus:

2 x 20 = 40

So we have 1,240 m. Having the elevations of the two points, we only need to take the lower value from the larger value:

1,600 - 1,240 = 360 m

So we get a result of 360 m of difference in elevation between the points X and Y.

Explain how the maps above depict the relationship between neocolonialism and human development.
lisabon 2012 [21]

The first map shows colonized nations in 1945. European powers had colonized vulnerable and faltering nations to undergird their economies. The second map shows that, even more than 50 years later, the majority of moderately developed or underdeveloped nations were former colonies of the presently highly developed nations. This conclusion supports neocolonialism in that former colonies have moved toward industrialization and economic independence. The economies of the former colonies are still, to an extent, dictated by, and even hampered by, their former colonizers.
