What else can I help you with?
Which of the followed determines the pathway a rock will follow in the rock cycle?
The forces that act on the rock
What factors and processes can affect the pathway that igneous rock takes in the rock cycle?
Melting and cooling
Why is a rock cycle a more appropriate term than rock pathway in most instances?
It is more formal I believe.
What are two alternate carbon- fixing pathways used by plants in hot climates?
Two alternate carbon-fixing pathways used by plants in hot climates are the C4 pathway and the CAM (Crassulacean acid metabolism) pathway. In the C4 pathway, carbon fixation via PEP carboxylase occurs in mesophyll cells, and then the bundle sheath cells carry out the Calvin cycle. In the CAM pathway, plants open their stomata at night to take in CO2, which is stored in organic acids and used in the Calvin cycle during the day.
Why is rock cycle more appropriate term than rock pathway in most instances?
The term "rock cycle" better captures the dynamic and complex nature of how rocks are continuously transformed from one type to another over time, involving various geological processes like weathering, erosion, and metamorphism. In contrast, "rock pathway" implies a linear or static progression, which does not reflect the cyclical and interconnected nature of rock formations on Earth.
True or False Each major group of rocks follows one pathway in the rock cycle?
False. The rock cycle involves interactions between three main types of rocks - igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic - and these rocks can transform back and forth between each other through various processes. Each rock type does not follow a single pathway in the cycle.
What provide an alternate pathway for blood to get to an organ?
anastomoses
Describe an alternate pathway within a rock cycle?
one starts at igneous rock and goes through metamorphism and becomes a metamorphic rock.another is a sedimentary rock goes through meltingand becomes magma
Why is rock cycle a more appropirate term than rock pathway in more instances?
Because the end point is often the same as the starting point. : ) hope i helped!!
The Krebs cycle is an example of which type of metabolic pathway?
The Krebs cycle is an example of an aerobic metabolic pathway, as it requires oxygen to function efficiently.
Are there two pathways through the rock cycle in which magma becomes sedimentary rock?
Yes, there are two pathways in the rock cycle through which magma can transform into sedimentary rock. The first pathway involves magma cooling and solidifying into igneous rock, which can then be weathered and eroded into sediments that are transported and eventually lithified into sedimentary rock. The second pathway involves the direct alteration of magma through processes like hydrothermal activity, which can lead to the formation of mineral deposits that, over time, may contribute to sedimentary rock formation through erosion and deposition.
2 pathways through the rock cycle in which igneous rock can become metamorphic rock?
One pathway involves the burial of igneous rock deep within the Earth's crust where it is subjected to high pressure and temperature, causing it to recrystallize into metamorphic rock. Another pathway is when igneous rock is subjected to heat and pressure during tectonic plate collisions, leading to its transformation into metamorphic rock.
