There are three major types of rocks: Igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic. These rock types may chan from one type to another over time due to varying conditions. What Important factor transforms metamorphic and igneous rocks to sedimentary rocks? O agents of weathering O extreme pressure O intense heat beneath Earth's crust O rapid cooling beneath Earth's crust

Does a Snickers™ candy bar (65 g, 1360 kJ) pro-vide enough energy to climb from Zermatt (elevation 1660m) to the top of the Matterhorn (4478 m, Figure Q2–3),or might you need to stop at HÖrnli Hut (3260 m) to eatanother one? Imagine that you and your gear have a massof 75 kg, and that all of your work is done against gravity(that is, you are just climbing straight up). Remember fromyour introductory physics course thatwork (J) = mass (kg) × g (m/sec2) × height gained (m)where g is acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/sec2). Onejoule is 1 kg m2/sec2.What assumptions made here will greatly under-estimate how much candy you need?
