What methamorphic rock forms at very high pressures but moderately low temperatures associated with subduction of oceanic crust and sediments?
Biotite marble
What sedimentary rock does granite turn into?
Gneiss turns into granite. Though it comes from shale."GNEISS can turn to migmatite and then totally recrystallize into granite."
How does subduction at converging plate boundary's lead to the formation of volcanoes?
When the denser plate subducts (usually the oceanic crust) it gets pushed down into the hot asthenosphere and melts a little. this causes the magma created from the melting to rise up and shoot out of the earth's crust, forming a volcano.
Do hard parts fossilize faster than soft parts?
hard parts on the outside of the organism means that the potential fossil is more likely to survive as increasing pressures are placed on the potential fossil when sediments are placed on top.
How do lithogenous sediments differ from biogenous sediments?
Lithogenous sediments come from the land They result primarily from erosion by water, wind, and ice Biogenous sediments originate from organisms The particles in these sediments come from shells and hard skeletons. Although lithogenous sediments represent the largest total volume, biogenous sediments cover a greater area of sea floor

How does the rock cycle recycle rocks?
The rock cycle can recycle rocks from melting and giving pressures to sediments.
How do you recrystallize the sugar stirred into a cup of tea?
Evaporate the liquid away. This would also leave other sediment so to get just the sugar you would probably then have to use a centrifuge to separate the various sediments.

What are the three types of the ocean floor sediments?
The three types of ocean floor sediments are Terrigenous, Biogenous, and Hydrogenous sediments.
What is the difference between sediments in the outwash and sediments in the moraines?
Sediments that are in outwash are sorted sediments, organized by size, while sediments that are in moraine are unsorted.
Do hard parts fossilize faster than soft parts?
hard parts on the outside of the organism means that the potential fossil is more likely to survive as increasing pressures are placed on the potential fossil when sediments are placed on top.
When sediments are slowly changed to rock what forces the sediments together?
Pressure of water and other sediments.
What is deposition in weathering?
The dropping of the sediments or DEPOSITING the sediments
What is the chemical sediments?
Chemical sediments are mineral precipitate :)
