What Is Apical Meristem and What Does It Do? Apical meristem is found at the apices, or tips of the plant, both the tip of the shoot and the root, and is a region of actively dividing cells. The definition is easy to remember when you break it down. An apex (plural: apices) is the tip, the very end, of something. You can think of 'meristem' as any kind of plant tissue that is made of cells that don't know what they want to be when they grow up, like happy, 'merry' children.
A metamorphic rock turns into magma by being exposed to the heat and pressure inside earth. The rock then becomes a flowing form of rock, called magma. It is then deposited back into its origin, a magma chamber, where it is spurted out as lava only to become an igneous rock again. #2. Well, first of all, metamorphic rocks turn into magma from heat inside earth. It gets so hot that the metamorphic rock turns into its flowing form. It then makes its way into the mantle and back out again as lava. The rock cycle is then repeated. A metamorphic rock turns into magma when its plate is being subducted beneath another plate. It is then exposed to the heat inside the mantle. In the mantle, it is melted into magma. The magma is now, what used to be a metamorphic rock.
Igneous rocks are formed by the cooling and crystallization (solidification) of magma. 1. Magma. Magma is a complex, highly variable mixture of molten rock, dissolved gas and solid crystals.s a magma begins cooling inside the earth, high-temperature minerals are the first to form crystals. These solid crystals float within the remaining molten rock. This partially crystallized / partially molten magma is then extruded, so that it cools very rapidly.
