Abold red "l" has already been marked on the map along the minnesota-wisconsin border to denote the general center of low pressure in that area. compare the hand-twist model of a low to the wind directions at stations in the several-state area surrounding the low-pressure center. wind directions at these stations suggest that, as seen from above, the air was circulating generally around this northern hemisphere low-pressure center. a. counterclockwise b. clockwise

During metamorphic processes, increased pressure and temperature can affect the of minerals in rock. rocks subjected to very high pressure are typically than others because mineral grains are squeezed together, and the atoms are more closely packed. during metamorphic processes, water facilitates the transfer of ions between and within minerals, which can the rate at which metamorphic reactions take place. the growth of new minerals within a rock during metamorphism has been estimated to be about per million years. metamorphism is commonly associated with convergent plate boundaries, where two plates move toward each other. during contact metamorphism, a large intrusion will contain thermal energy and will cool much more slowly than a small one. metamorphosed sandstone is known as the metamorphic rock made from metamorphosed shale, was once used to make blackboards for classrooms
