What stage of product life cycle is the personal computer?
Maturity stage.
Does weathering go with metamorphic or igneas or sedimentary?
Weathering can happen to any rock. It is the first stage in the process that leads to the formation of sedimentary rock.
How can you tell sedimentary rocks from others?
== == The age of a sedimentary rock formation can be estimated by comparing it to radiometrically dated rock formations that contain the same fossil organisms. Geologic time categories have been identified according to the radiometric dating of fossils and the fact that they appear only in certain time periods. Therefore, if you look at a rock formation and find a trilobite fossil that has been identified by previous dating techniques as Cambrian, you can be fairly certain that the formation you are looking at is also Cambrian.
When heat and pressure is applied to any rock it becomes what?
It becomes hot and under pressure. At some stage, with sufficient heat and pressure it could become a metamorphic rock.
What is the difference between stage and movies?
stage is plays movies are filmed and shown on a screen
What are the stage of rock cycle?
sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic
What stage in the rock cycleis between metamorphic rock and igneous rock?
Melting.
How are igneous and metamorphic rocks related?
Both gneiss and migmatite are late-stage, high grade metamorphic rocks.
How are rocks classified in the rock cycle?
By origin and method of formation. Igneous--molten material, sedimentary--from sediments, metamorphic--from existing rock that has undergone a physical change. The Three Rock Types and the Rock Cycle The three rock types are sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic. At one time, early in Earth's history, all rocks were igneous, having solidified from molten rock. The rock cycle is the natural process in which rocks transform from one rock type into another rock type over time, a type of natural recycling. Igneous rocks, which are formed from magma cooling underground, or lava above ground are formed from previous igneous, metamorphic, or sedimentary rocks which have become melted, usually as a result of plate collision and subduction. When these igneous rocks are exposed to weathering and erosion, they break down into smaller particles that are transported by wind and water to a place of deposition, where they can form into sedimentary rock strata, through a process of lithification, where excess water is squeezed out by overburden pressures and the particles are cemented together by various minerals precipitating out of solution. Igneous and metamorphic rocks can both be turned into sedimentary rocks in this way. Igneous and sedimentary rocks can also be changed by heat and/or pressure into metamorphic rocks, by transforming their existing mineral structures into new minerals or realigning the existing minerals. There are different degrees of metamorphism, so even an existing metamorphic rock can become a different metamorphic rock. If these metamorphic rocks are melted, then solidify, they become igneous rocks, and the cycle starts all over again. The rock cycle is largely driven by lithospheric plate movements which cause subduction and uplift, also by climatic conditions and the associated erosion and weathering components.

What is the full cycle of rocks?
The rock cycle is basically the biography of a rock. It is important to keep in mind that any type of rock can turn into any other type of rock depending on the external forces. Let's start with a grouping of sediments. Through lithification (cementation), those sediments become a sedimentary rock. That sedimentary rock is then exposed to an intense amount of heat and pressure, which turn it into a metamorphic rock. That metamorphic rock is then melted at extremely high temperatures to make magma, which then cools to a solid state to create an igneous rock. That igneous rock is exposed to wind, water, ice, etc. and is weathered and eroded back into a grouping of sediments. From there, it starts all over again. This cycle continues and can start from any stage. An important fact is that each rock can become a different rock of that same type. For instance, an igneous rock can be remelted and recooled to form a different igneous rock. The same holds true for metamorphic and sedimentary rocks.
What types of rocks move through the rock cycle?
First a rock gets erupted within or on the Earth surface in the form of igneous rocks. Those are over time eroded away and deposited as sedimentary rocks. By subjecting these rocks to tremendous pressure and heat they metamorphose or change into metamorphic rocks which can eventually wind up in molten state and get re-introduced and erupt back as igneous rocks.
Why gniess glitters?
because of the minerals that are mixed in with the gniess during the rock cycle(probably at the igneous stage) reflect light off of themselves
What is the difference between infective stage and diagnostic stage?
Infective stage is the life cycle stage where parasite able to initiate an infection in a definitive or intermediate host. Diagnostic stage is the life cycle stage leaving the definitive host, it is the stage that links the parasitic way of life with either the free-living phase of the life cycle or the phase of development that occurs in an intermediate host.
What is erosion deposition and metamorphism?
Erosion is when rocks or other hard materials are grinded away over years by wind, snow, ice, water, sand, etc. Deposition is the silt that is deposited by a river. Metamorphism is when a rock changes stage such as from igneous to metamorphic or sedimentary to igneous.
What stage of the product life cycle is Pepsi in?
Pepsi is in between growth and saturation stage of PLC.
What are the names for the three type of rocks?
Igneous, Sedimentary, Metamorphic. Igneous rocks are made of solidified magma. Sedimentary rocks are those that are made by the weathering or erosion of soil of Earth. Metamorphic rocks are when rocks are changed from one material to another; new minerals are created.
