True or Fale: Metamorphic rocks are formed in the upper, shallow areas of the Earth's surface
False: Metamorphic rocks are formed deep within the earth
400
This type of wave has a back and fourth motion and is the longest wave and is compressional which means it travels very fast and takes very little energy
What is the P-wave
400
The percentage of open space in a given volume of rock
What is porosity

How Can Volcanoes be used to support the idea of Plate Tectonics
Volcanoes occur from plates pulling or pushing together which would mean plates are moving which thus supports the idea of Plate Tectonics

Where on an object is the only place weathering can take place?
What s the surface

________________ and _________________ help to transform metamorphic rocks into new kinds of rocks.
What is heat and pressure

Why must measurements from three locations be used to find the epicenter of an earthquake?
Three locations are neccessary because sometimes the circles intersect in more then one place. The third circle intersects the other two in only one place. This ensures a more accurate result.
