Re- word these 3 paragraphs for me ! (30 points)

a nonconformity exists between sedimentary rocks and metamorphic or igneous rocks when the sedimentary rock lies above and was deposited on the pre-existing and eroded metamorphic or igneous rock. namely, if the rock below the break is igneous or has lost its bedding due to metamorphism, the plane of juncture is a nonconformity.

an angular unconformity is an unconformity where horizontally parallel strata of sedimentary rock are deposited on tilted and eroded layers, producing an angular discordance with the overlying horizontal layers. the whole sequence may later be deformed and tilted by further orogenic activity.

a disconformity is an unconformity between parallel layers of sedimentary rocks which represents a period of erosion or non-deposition. disconformities are marked by features of subaerial erosion. this type of erosion can leave channels and paleosols in the rock record. a paraconformity is a type of disconformity in which the separation is a simple bedding plane with no obvious buried erosional surface.

t’s the first thing you learn in a geology class — very briefly the three types of rocks are:

Igneous — they form from the cooling of magma deep inside the earth. They often have large crystals (you can see them with the naked eye).

Metamorphic — they are formed through the change (metamorphosis) of igneous and sedimentary rocks. They can form both underground and at the surface.

Sedimentary — they are formed through the solidification of sediment. They can be formed from organic remains (such as limestone), or from the cementing of other rocks.

Now the long story, which is much more interesting, is this:

Igneous Rocks

Magma is the heart of any igneous rock. Magma is composed of a mixture of molten or semi-molten rock, along with gases and other volatile elements. As you go deeper underground, the temperature rises; go further and you’ll eventually reach the Earth’s mantle — a huge layer of magma surrounding the Earth’s core.

As you probably know, when magma cools, it turns into rock; if it cools while still underground at high temperatures (but at temperatures still lower than that of the magma), the cooling process will be slow, giving crystals time to develop. That’s why you see rocks such as granite with big crystals — the magma had time to cool off. The crystals are also differentiated, as you can see below.

Note the white, almost rectangular feldspar crystals, the grey virtually shapeless quartz crystals, and the black crystals, which can be either black mica or amphibole.

However, if the magma erupts or is cooled rapidly, you instead get a volcanic rock –– not really igneous, but also originating from lava. The classical example here is basalt, which can have many small crystals or very few large ones. Volcanic rocks are also called extrusive igneous rocks, as opposed to intrusive igneous rocks. Some volcanic rocks (like obsidian) don’t have any crystals at all.

Pumice.

Not all magma is made equally: different magmas can have different chemical compositions, different quantities of gases and different temperature — and different types of magma make different types of rocks. That’s why you get incredible variety. There are over 700 hundred types of igneous rocks, and they are generally the hardest and heaviest of all rocks. However, volcanic rocks can be incredibly lightweight –– pumice, for example, can even float, and was called by ancient sailors “the foam of the sea”. Pumice is created when a volcano violently erupts, creating pockets of air in the rock. The most common types of igneous rocks are:

andesite

basalt

dacite

dolerite (also called diabase)

gabbro

diorite

peridotite

nepheline

obsidian

scoria

tuff

Metamorphic Rocks

Here, the name says it all. These are rocks that underwent a metamorphosis; they changed. They were either sedimentary or igneous (or even metamorphic), and they changed so much, that they are fundamentally different from the initial rock.

There are two types of metamorphism (change) that can cause this:

contact metamorphism (or thermal metamorphism) — rocks are so close to magma that they start to partially melt and change their properties. You can have recrystallization, fusing between crystals and a lot of other chemical reactions. Temperature is the main driver here.

regional metamorphism (or dynamic metamorphism) — this typically happens when rocks are deep underground and they are subjected to massive pressure — so much so that they often become elongated, destroying the original features. Pressure (often times with temperature) is the main driver here.

Metamorphic rocks can have crystals and minerals from the initial rocks as well as new minerals resulting from the metamorphosis process. However, some minerals are clear indicators of a metamorphic process. Among these, the most usual ones are garnet, chlorite, and kyanite.

Equally as significant are changes in the chemical environment that result in two metamorphic processes: mechanical dislocation (the rock or some minerals are physically altered) and chemical recrystallization (when the temperature and pressure changes, some crystals aren’t stable, causing them to change into other crystals).

If the sedimentary rock lies above and was deposited on the pre-existing and eroded metamorphic or igneous rock, there is a nonconformity between sedimentary rocks and metamorphic or igneous rocks. Namely the plane of juncture is a nonconformity if the rock below the break is igneous or has lost its bedding due to metamorphism.

An angular discrepancy is a discrepancy where horizontally parallel sedimentary rock strata are deposited on angled and eroded rocks, creating an angular discrepancy with the horizontal layers overlying them. Additional orogenic activity can later deform and tilt the entire sequence.

A disconformity is a disconformity that describes a time of erosion or non-deposition between parallel layers of sedimentary rocks. Disconformities are characterized by subaerial erosion characteristics. In the rock record, this form of erosion can leave channels and paleosols. A paraconformity is a form of nonconformity in which the separation is a simple plane of bedding with no separation obvious buried erosional surface.

Explanation

; USE QUILLBOT. makes it easier also can u mark this brainliest?

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
