Metamorphism can occur through contact metamorphism, where rocks are altered by heat from nearby magma; regional metamorphism, where rocks are subjected to high pressure and temperature over a large area; burial metamorphism, where rocks are subjected to increased pressure from being buried deep underground; and dynamic metamorphism, where rocks are deformed under high pressure but low temperature conditions along faults or shear zones.

How many possible outcomes are from tossing two cubes labelled 1 through 6?

As each cube can land with 1 of 6 faces on top there are 6 × 6 = 36 possible outcomes If the numbers displayed on the top faces are added together then there are 11 possible outcomes: 2, 3, 4, ..., 11, though they do not all occur with the same frequency: 2 can only occur when both cubes show a 1 3 can occur when one shows a 1 and the other shows a 2 4 can occur when one shows a 1 and the other shows a 3, or they both show a 2 and so on. The number of ways the sums can occur is: 2 - 1 way 3 - 2 ways 4 - 3 ways 5 - 4 ways 6 - 5 ways 7 - 6 ways 8 - 5 ways 9 - 4 ways 10 - 3 ways 11 - 2 ways 12 - 1 way 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 5 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 36 - all the possible outcomes of throwing the two cubes.

What are the two types of metamorphisms and why is each different?

The two types of metamorphism are contact metamorphism and regional metamorphism. Contact metamorphism occurs when rocks are altered by heat and pressure from nearby magma, typically in a localized area. Regional metamorphism occurs over a larger area due to tectonic forces and is associated with higher pressures and temperatures.


What are 4 ways that erosion can occur?

Erosion can occur through water erosion (rivers, waves), wind erosion (blowing sand and soil), glacial erosion (movement of ice), and chemical erosion (dissolving of rocks by acids).

In how many ways can a committee of three men and four women be formed from a group of 10 men and 10 women?

I'm going with 25,200 3 men out of 10 may be chosen in 10C3 ways = 10 ! / 3! 7 ! = 120 ways. 4 women may be chosen out of 10 in 10C4 = 10 ! / 4! 6! ways = 210 ways. Therefore, a committee with 3 men and 4 women can be formed in 120 x 210 = 25,200 ways.


Describe the 4 kinds of metamophism?

Cataclastic meta rocks are formed from rocks grinding past each other in fault zones. Burial metamorphism creates altered rock simply from overburden pressure. Contact metamorphism occurs from exposure to heat from an intrusive magma body. Regional metamorphism occurs from pressure and heat caused by tectonic forces.


What causes metamorphic rocks?

A metaporphic rock is formed when a rock is put under extreame heat and preasure for many (often thousands or millions) of years. This changes it into a new type of rock. This new rock is called a Metamorphic rock.
