Answer to Question 1

Igneous rocks crystallize from molten material called magma, which originates from melting rock within Earth. Magma may erupt at volcanoes, as lava and volcanic ash, or remain underground to solidify. There are two general kinds of igneous rocks. Volcanic rocks solidify at the surface whereas plutonic rocks solidify beneath the surface.
Sedimentary rocks form by deposition and precipitation of minerals grains that originated by the breakdown of older rocks under the conditions found in Earth's surface environment. Rocks of any kind, when exposed at Earth's surface, slowly deteriorate due to the processes of weathering. Physical weathering causes rocks to disintegrate into rock fragments or mineral grains. Chemical weathering involves reactions between minerals, the atmosphere, and water, which produce dissolved ions and new minerals.
Metamorphic rocks result from changes to preexisting rocks. These preexisting rocks may be sedimentary, igneous, or older metamorphic rocks. The changes typically occur at temperatures in excess of 200C, which distinguishes metamorphic rocks from the lower-temperature weathering and lithification processes that form sedimentary rocks. Importantly, however, the temperatures are not high enough to cause the rock to melt, which distinguishes metamorphic processes from those that form igneous rocks. A rock changes appearance when the minerals that compose it are changed or rearranged or both.

Did you know?

Giardia is one of the most common intestinal parasites worldwide, and infects up to 20% of the world population, mostly in poorer countries with inadequate sanitation. Infections are most common in children, though chronic Giardia is more common in adults.

Did you know?

Drying your hands with a paper towel will reduce the bacterial count on your hands by 45–60%.

Did you know?

Fatal fungal infections may be able to resist newer antifungal drugs. Globally, fungal infections are often fatal due to the lack of access to multiple antifungals, which may be required to be utilized in combination. Single antifungals may not be enough to stop a fungal infection from causing the death of a patient.

Did you know?

In Eastern Europe and Russia, interferon is administered intranasally in varied doses for the common cold and influenza. It is claimed that this treatment can lower the risk of infection by as much as 60–70%.

Did you know?

Recent studies have shown that the number of medication errors increases in relation to the number of orders that are verified per pharmacist, per work shift.
