“A particular rock may not always remain the same type.” In your own words, justify this statement with the help of a model.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well a rock could easily get squished, and then turn into a sedimentary rock.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Any rock that isn't already sedimentary, anyway.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Types refer to metamorphic, sedementary or igneous

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And obviously this would happen over long periods of time.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You my have learnt a diagram that may help with the model part. It's a flow diagram showing how rocks change type. i'll see if i can find it for you

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so to answer the statement?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Say it is true, using the diagram talk about how each rock type can change into another type (x changes to y when )

OpenStudy (anonymous):

When rocks become igneous rocks, they melt and resolidify When they become metamorphic rocks they are altered under massive amounts of heat and pressure when they become sedimentary rocks they either erode away and become recemented, or become dissolved and then come out of solution

OpenStudy (anonymous):

More like Sedimentary can become metamorphic if + more examples This shows that a rock doesn't always stay the same type

OpenStudy (anonymous):

This statement is true: Sedimentary rock can become a metamorphic rock if heat and pressure is occurred. metamorphic rock can become a igneous rock if melting,magma, and crystallization occurred. Igneous rock can become a sedimentary rock if deposition, sediment, and lithification occurred.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Perfect, as long as you understand what you have written

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes i do

]A location in Florida has a very high rate of unemployment. A mining company plans to start limestone mining in the location. In your own words, explain how the people, economy, and environment of the location would be affected by the limestone mines.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

still need that and finish the cookie one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

More jobs equal more people. More people equal more money. More money equal more buys. More buys equal more at the shops which will help the growth in economy.

OpenStudy (anonymous):
