When rocks undergo metamorphic changes chemical reactions cause minerals to recrystallize or change form which agent provides the energy for these reactions?
Heat
How can minerals form above ground do to what?
The minerals from above ground can cause cycles. This is very important.
What do carcinogens do to normal cells?
the carcinogens change the molecule structure of the dna causing cancer inside the body , they make damaging and irreversible changes to a cells DNA. Carcinogens are things that make cancer worse by aggravating it
What changes occur in shale during regional metamorphism?
The change is in the alignment of the clay minerals and parallel alignment of micaceous minerals, from the stress of compressional forces. The water content of the shale is reduced, increasing the rock's specific gravity, and the alignment of the minerals results in a slaty cleavage.
Which is not a cause of evolutionary changes in organism?
evolutionary changes in organisms
What two things cause changes in matter?
heat and pressure
What are some things that can cause fast changes to Earth's features?
Some fast changes are like earthquakes and hericanes

Why do we use streak plates to test minerals?

Why is color the most unreliable when identifying minerals?
gold and fools gold is the same color. Also for the color blind this would cause problems. So colors can be alike in diffrent minerals or minerals could have a natrual dye on them making color seem diffrent.
Is weathering a quick process?
It is usually slow and gradual, but such things as storms can cause sudden changes.
How do high temperatures and pressures cause fossils to change into minerals or rocks to change their nature?
The changes take place because of recrystallization or realignment of existing minerals, or creation of minerals from existing assemblages that that can only be formed under certain specific ranges of temperature or pressure.
What effect do radionuclides have on living things?
Radionuclides can be very hazardous to living things. It can damage the tissues and cause irreversible changes to the cells.
