Why would you not expect to find a metamorphic rock in the recesses of the earth?
You WOULD expect to find metamorphic rocks in the recesses (deep layers) of the Earth's crust. But not in the mantle or core. Metamorphic means changed - and rocks - either sedimentary or igneous - get changed by the heat and pressures found in the deep crust.
If you are standing in the middle of the US what type of plate boundary is occurring near you?
You would be standing near a divergent plate boundary, where tectonic plates are moving away from each other. This boundary can be found in the middle of the North American Plate, spreading along the Mid-Atlantic Ridge in the Atlantic Ocean.
Which type of boundary do you expect to find near the Aleutian Trench?
Near the Aleutian Trench, you would expect to find a convergent boundary. This type of boundary occurs where an oceanic plate is subducting beneath another oceanic plate or a continental plate. The subduction process leads to the formation of deep ocean trenches and volcanic arcs, characteristic of the Aleutian Islands, which are a result of the associated volcanic activity.

Why would you expect a metamorphic rock to form at a temperature lower than a melting point rock?
Metamorphic rocks form by rocks being changed while still in the solid state. If the temperature of a rock exceeds its melting point, it will melt and any rock that forms as a result will be considered igneous.

Would you expect to find dinosaur bone in a metamorphic rock like schist explain?
no, because the extreme heat that metamorphic rocks must undergo to form would have burned the dinosaur fossil, or any fossil!
What geologic features would you expect to find at a transform fault boundary?
I don´t know
What type of climate would you expect to find in the middle east?
Comfortable

What causes foliation on a metamorphic rock under what cirumstances would you expect this to happen?
Foliation is created when pressure pushes different parts of the rock in different directions.
Why would you expect a metamorphic form at a temperature lower than the melting point of a rock?
if rock melts it will form magma, which leads to the formation of igneous rocks

An olympic sprinter is in the middle of a grueling workout. Which process would you least expect to be occurring in his body?
Gluconeogenesis
A tectonic plate moving westward what geological effects would you expect to see on its northern edge?
1. If a plate moved westward, then in the westward side there would be a convergent boundary resulting in a trench. In the eastern side, there would be a divergent plate boundary resulting in a ridge. In the northern and southern side, there would be a transform fault.
Why would you expect a metamorphic rock to form at a temperature lower then the melting point of rock?
Metamorphic rocks can form at temperatures lower than the melting point of rock because they do not actually melt during the process. Instead, they recrystallize under high pressure and temperature conditions, causing changes in mineral composition and texture. This process allows metamorphic rocks to form without reaching the point of melting.

Metamorphic rocks form by rocks being changed while still in the solid state. If the temperature of a rock exceeds its melting point, it will melt and any rock that forms as a result will be considered igneous.
