Determine whether a rock formed at the following pressures and temperatures typically would be sedimentary, metamorphic, or igneous. If metamorphic, determine whether the rock would be considered low-, medium-, or high-grade.
 
   Pressure = 1 kb, Temperature = 700 C
   Pressure = 2 kb, Temperature = 100 C
   Pressure = 3 kb, Temperature = 300 C
   Pressure = 4 kb, Temperature = 500 C
   Pressure = 6 kb, Temperature = 1100 C
   Pressure = 7 kb, Temperature = 1000 C
  What will be an ideal response?

Question 2

Desalination plants, such as the one just completed in Tampa Bay,
 
  A) are less expensive than groundwater supplies.
  B) are a sustainable virtually unlimited source of water.
  C) produce enough water for local agricultural crops such as corn.

Answer to Question 1

Pressure = 1 kb, Temperature = 700 C Metamorphism (high-grade)
Pressure = 2 kb, Temperature = 100 C Sedimentary
Pressure = 3 kb, Temperature = 300 C Metamorphism (low-grade)
Pressure = 4 kb, Temperature = 500 C Metamorphism (medium-grade)
Pressure = 6 kb, Temperature = 1100 C Igneous
Pressure = 7 kb, Temperature = 1000 C Metamorphism (high-grade)

Answer to Question 2

B

For high blood pressure (hypertension), a new class of drug, called a vasopeptidase blocker (inhibitor), has been developed. It decreases blood pressure by simultaneously dilating the peripheral arteries and increasing the body's loss of salt.

Did you know?

Cucumber slices relieve headaches by tightening blood vessels, reducing blood flow to the area, and relieving pressure.

Did you know?

The use of salicylates dates back 2,500 years to Hippocrates’s recommendation of willow bark (from which a salicylate is derived) as an aid to the pains of childbirth. However, overdosage of salicylates can harm body fluids, electrolytes, the CNS, the GI tract, the ears, the lungs, the blood, the liver, and the kidneys and cause coma or death.
