What conditions determine whether metamorphic changes willl occur over a large or small area?
Change over large areas - usually the deeper down rocks are the more change occurs.Usually due to both heat and pressure.Mountain Ranges are example of large area metamorphic. Change over small areas - formed by heat pressure ALONE
The presence of many metamorphic rocks in Virginia is an indication that the area was subjected to what?
It could indicate that the area now exposed was subjected to erosion and uplift over a long expanse of time, thus exposing the metamorphic rock.
Do rocks change from one type to another or not change at all?
Rocks are constantly changing types. The three types are metamorphic, sedimentary and igneous. Igneous rocks are created when magma or lava cools and solidifies. Metamorphic rocks are created when rocks are put under high pressure and high heat, which compacts the molecules in the rocks. Sedimentary rocks are created when small particles of rocks accumulate in an area and are cemented together via pressure or chemical change. Therefore, sedimentary and igneous rocks can become metamorphic rocks if they are buried deep in the earth's crust. Metamorphic and sedimentary rocks can become igneous rocks if they are melted then resolidify from the magma or lava. Metamorphic and igneous rocks can become sedimentary rocks if they are chipped into tiny pieces then accumulate together and become cemented.
How does a cell's ratio of surface area to volume change as the cell grews large?
It will decrease. In a larger cell, you have less surface area per volume.
What is a large area of the world?
A large area of the world is called a ZONE

Metamorphic is a process by which buried rocks in a large area are changed by heat and fluids?
Regional
The greatest volume of metamorphic rock is produced during?
The greatest volume of metamorphic rock is produced during regional metamorphism. It affects an extensive area as a result of the large-scale action of heat and pressure.
What is the sentence for the word area?
Example sentence - The large area could be seen from space.
Why does the area of a rectangle change?
if you change the side length the area will change. It is possible to change them and not change the area. For example make side twice and long and the other half as long. But in general, if you change the lengths of the sides the area of the rectangle changes.
What is a large area of land often with a large house on it change two consonants from escape?
escaer
What did the Ancient Romans call a large open area?
The ancient Romans called any large open area a campus. An example is the Campus Martius at Rome.
How will the pressure of an object change if its area is doubled?
It won't. The pressure within a hollow object may change if the surface area changes, hence the volume. The total pressure acting on the exterior of a solid object may change if the total surface area changes.
What is the name given to a large area of sea that is partially enclosed and is large than a bay?
a gulf *example: the Gulf of Mexico
Why does it take milllions of years for rocks to change?
Not in all cases. sometimes it take shorter time. for example the contact metamorphic rock can be formed within a short period. If an area of sedimentary rocks experience a sudden volcanic eruption those sedimentary rocks will quickly metamorphose to Metamorphic rock. The reason it takes rock to change is because the process is a long one. Weathering, erosion, deposition, cementation/compaction. By the time the whole process go through it has been millions of years or thousands
Give an example of a situation where a large surface area is used to reduce pressure?
Quicksand
The presence of many metamorphic rocks in Virginia is an indication that the area was subjected to what?
It could indicate that the area now exposed was subjected to erosion and uplift over a long expanse of time, thus exposing the metamorphic rock.
