Answer to Question 1

Magma rises at mid-oceanic ridges and heats the adjacent rocks, producing contact metamorphism.
Fluids emanate from the rising magma, and the magma reacts with seawater to produce metal-bearing
hydrothermal solutions.



Answer to Question 2

Metamorphic rocks formed near Earth's surface along an oceanic-continental convergent plate
boundary result from low-temperature, high-pressure conditions. As a subducted oceanic plate
descends, it is subjected to increasingly higher temperatures and pressures that result in higher-grade
metamorphism

Dogs have been used in studies to detect various cancers in human subjects. They have been trained to sniff breath samples from humans that were collected by having them breathe into special tubes. These people included 55 lung cancer patients, 31 breast cancer patients, and 83 cancer-free patients. The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).
