How do you describe the wild?

The wild can be described in many ways, hear is one of them... The wild is full of many problems and many answers such as survival, all living things have to adapt to there new enviorment, like us on our first day are school. There are many ways of survival in the wild.


Describe two ways that fossils can form?

By fossilisation and permineralisation. Fossilisation is caused by layers upon layers of sediment burying the bones. As the layers of sediment above the buried bones increases, so does the pressure on the layers of sediment lower down. The pressure becomes so great that the bones and the sedimentary rock fuse. Permineralisation occurs when mineral rich water trickles in through the sedimentary rock reaching the dinosaur bones. The minerals fill in the cracks and spaces within the bone. Sometimes the calcium in the bones may be replaced with these minerals. The new minerals in the bone make them even harder and more likely to be preserved.


What words would you use to describe a Doberman dog?

they are vicious, can't be trained to act in specific ways because they are not our robots! They bite you for running does that make sense No!!

Are ponies real?

Yes ponies are real.Pony is often used in two ways:1st. To describe any equine 14.2 hands (58 inches or 147.32 cm) and under, regardless of breed.2nd. To describe a breed of equine that falls within a certain physically/ conformational description while still being 14.2 hands and smaller.

Two ways a rock can undergo metamorphism?

one way is the heat and pressure.


What changes in a rock during metamorphism?

The high temperatures required for metamorphism ultimately are derived from Earth's eternal heat, either through deep burial or from nearby igneous intrusions. The high pressures required for metamorphism can be generated in two ways: from vertical pressure caused by the weight of overlying rock, or from the compressive forces generated as rocks are deformed during mountain building.


What are two ways that can poduce metamorphic rocks?

Two ways in which metamorphic rocks are 1) contact metamorphism (thermal) where magma comes in direct contact with surrounding igneous rock and changes it due to high temperatures and usually low pressure. 2) Regional metamorphism (dynamothermal) ,high pressures and low temperature eg mountain ranges. or 3) Cataclastic metamorphism, heat as a result of friction due to two plate meeting or passing each other.


What are the the 2 ways of a metamorphic rock being made?

One way a rock can undergo metamorphism is if temperature or pressure of the new environment is different than the environment the rock was formed. That's about all I know... just a seventh grader learning this in school...


What rock changes?

Everything. There is so many ways to change rocks. Erosion by Wind and Water. Earthquakes/Plate Tectonics, Subduction leading to metamorphism and ultimately melting and becoming Igneous. Man.


What rocks are formed by changes in heat and pressure or the pressure of hot watery fluids?

Metamorphic Rocks are formed two ways: Regional Metamorphism Contact Metamorphism In regional, two plates collide and through pressure and friction to change igneous rock to metamorphic. In contact (more familiar to me) lava (hot liquid?) contacts any type of rock and doesn't not melt but sorta loosens it up so the crystals inside can rearrange.


Why do minerals change composition as they undergo metamorphism?

The minerals in the rock have been realigned into parallel bands in response to pressures exerted on the rock from a particular direction. The banding forms perpendicularly to the direction of the force.


What is the process of rocks turning into metamorphic rocks?

When the rock is in a high temperature and pressure environment for a long time, their properties changes as much that you can't say that it's the same rock, so we call it a metamorphic rock. There are 3 ways: Hydrotermal, by contact or differential pressure metamorphosis.
