Frozen food will thaw more quickly when placed under running water than if it is immersed in water. Why?

google answers, i'm not 100% on how to type my own answer

Explanation:

Thaw food submerged under running water at a temperature of 70˚F (21˚C) or lower. The water flow must be strong enough to wash food particles into the overflow drain. In a microwave oven. You can safely thaw food in a microwave oven if the food will be cooked immediately.

The reason defrosting in water is preferable is because water conducts heat better than air. And the faster food is thawed, the better it tastes.

answer: the metamorphic rocks are formed when they are exposed to high pressure and high temperatures. this happens when one of the earth's plates comes in contact with the other plate by traveling in opposite directions, straight into each other or slipping under one another. the friction that is caused by this activity results in   melting of rocks and when it cools they are known as metamorphic rocks. this process needs a controlled amount of pressure and temperature otherwise it may turn into magma.
