"[E]vidence of shock metamorphic conditions of extreme pressure and heat on Earth exist only within and around impact craters. Only hypervelocity impact between objects of substantial size moving at cosmic velocity (at least several kilometers per second) can produce these conditions." Courtesy of enotes.com

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 causes impact metamorphism?
Impact metamorphism is caused by the immense pressure and heat generated by the impact of a meteorite or asteroid on the Earth's surface. The high-speed collision creates shock waves that generate high temperatures and pressures, resulting in the metamorphism of rocks near the impact site.
What is 2 types of metamorphic rocks?
Metamorphic rocks are formed by the process of extreme heat, pressure and other chemicals. Two types of metamorphism are dynamic which makes the pressure and extreme heat and thermal which is caused by the heat of magma from a volcanic eruption.
How are sunquakes and earthquakes different?
Sunquakes and earthquakes differ primarily in their locations and causes. Sunquakes occur on the sun's surface, resulting from the release of energy during solar flares, which causes shock waves in the solar atmosphere. In contrast, earthquakes happen on Earth due to the movement of tectonic plates and the release of stress along fault lines. While both phenomena involve shock waves, they occur in entirely different environments and are driven by distinct physical processes.
What geological features happen after an earthquake?
After an earthquake, geological features such as ground fractures, landslides, and liquefaction can occur. Ground fractures are cracks in the Earth's surface caused by the movement of tectonic plates during the earthquake. Landslides can occur due to the shaking of the ground, causing unstable slopes to collapse. Liquefaction happens when saturated soil temporarily loses strength and behaves like a liquid, leading to structural damage.
What are the types of rock metamorphism?
Types of metamorphism are Contact Metamorphism Regional Metamorphism Cataclastic Metamorphism Hydrothermal Metamorphism Burial Metamorphism Shock Metamorphism (Impact Metamorphism)

When there is movement in the Earth's crust what occurs?
Earthquakes occur as a result of strain from tectonic movement being suddenly released as a shock wave. In addition volcanoes may be formed as a result of divergence or subduction (from convergence), which both result from tectonic movement.

Why do afterschocks occur?
I'm assuming you know how earthquakes occur and all an aftershock is a smaller earthquake after a larger one. If the "aftershock" is larger than the main shock it is reclassified as the main shock and the previous "main shock" becomes a foreshock.

What is the preferred fluid for resuscitation of hemorrhagic shock in the prehospital setting?
crystalloids
Why does shock occur in a person?
to numb pain or loss of blood

What the last vital sign to change in the setting of shock?
Pulse oximetry reading
Does electric shock occur in space?
An electric shock could occur in space. One thing to keep in mind about electrical shocks is that if the body provides a return path for current to flow then an electrical shock will occur. It does not matter if it is in space or on earth, touching a potential across the output supply on a high voltage system is going to short circuit the supply through you.
Does insulin shock occur quickly?
yes because i have diabetes and it may drop quickly
