Front

What type of rock is formed when sediments are pushed back under the crust and go through heat and pressure?

Back

Metamorphic rock.

Front

What is the body's response to cold environments to maintain temperature?

Back

Shivering to increase body temperature.

Front

Which heats more quickly: land or water?

Back

Land, because it is a better conductor of heat.

Front

What is the definition of low pressure in meteorology?

Front

What are the three main types of rocks?

Front

How does shivering help the body?

Back

It generates heat through muscle activity to increase body temperature.

Front

Why does land heat up faster than water?

Back

Land has a lower specific heat capacity than water, allowing it to absorb heat more quickly.
