Pick an area near where you live or go to school that hosts plants and animals. it could be a yard, an abandoned lot, a park, a forest, or some part of your campus. visit this area at least 3 times and make a survey of the plants and animals that you find there, including any trees, shrubs, groundcover plants, insects, reptiles, amphibians, birds, and mammals. also, take a small sample of the topsoil and find out what organisms are living there. (be careful to get permission from whomever owns or manages the land before doing any digging.) using guidebooks and other resources to identify different species, record your findings and categorize them into the general types of organisms listed above. then think of, and record, five ecosystem services that you think some or all of these organisms provide.

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
