1.How do you think the magma that formed the Rocky Mountains could have come from the Great Plains? 2. How do you think sediment from the Great Plains came from the Rocky Mountains?

1. It might also be possible that the rock of the Rocky Mountains formed from the rock of the Great Plains if the Great Plains rock were somehow carried underground to where energy from Earth's interior could melt it into magma.  Sediment forms when any type of rock is weathered, a process is driven by energy from the sun.

2. Magma forms when any type of rock is melted, a process driven by energy from Earth's interior. The plate motion that occurred near the Great Plains and Rocky Mountains uplifted igneous rock that formed underground. This rock eventually eroded and its sediment formed sedimentary rock in the Great Plains.

more words for this could be abiotic and biotic

abiotic: living organisms within an ecosystem

biotic: non-living organisms within an ecosystem

interphase

the period of cell growth when the cell synthesizes new molecules and organelles. the cell is not dividing and it constitutes the majority of the time spent in the cell cycle

prophase

changes occur in the nucleus and cytoplasm. the chromatin condenses to form structures (sister chromatids) visible with a light microscope and the mitotic spindle begins to form, but the nucleus is still in tact

prometaphase

the nuclear envelope fragments and the spindle microtubules attach to the kinetochores of the sister chromatids

metaphase

all the cell's duplicated chromosomes are lined up at an imaginary plane equidistant between the poles of the mitotic spindle

anaphase

begins when sister chromatids separate from each other and ending when a complete set of daughter chromosomes arrives at each of the two poles of the cell

telophase

the daughter nuclei form at the two poles of a cell

cytokinesis

the division of a cytoplasm to form two separate daughter cells. usually occurs during telophase during mitosis. this and mitosis make up to mitotic (m) phase of the cell cycle
