What feature would easily distinguish schist and gneiss from quartzite and marble?

Biology

Vesna [10]1 year ago

Foliation is much better developed in most schists and gneiss than in most quartzites and marbles.

The major contrast between schist and gneiss is that schist is made of mudstone or shale, whereas gneiss is made of micas, chlorite, or other platy minerals. While Marble and quartzite the major difference is that marble is composed of calcite whereas quartzite is composed of quartz.

Schist is identified by its flat and large sheet-like grains it also has flat and elongated minerals such as talc or micas. Gneiss is a metamorphic rock formed by changing schist, granite, or volcanic rocks through intense heat and pressure. Gneiss is foliated, which means that it has layers of lighter and darker minerals.

A geologist is studying two different rhyolite flows to determine if they were erupted at the same time.

Q1. The answer is 1.

It can be calculated using the equation:

 (1/2)ⁿ = x

x - decimal amount remaining, 

n - a number of half-lives.


x = 50% = 50/100 = 0.5

n = ?

(1/2)ⁿ = 0.5

log((1/2)ⁿ) = log(0.5)

n * log(1/2) = log(0.5)

n * log(0.5) = log(0.5)

n = log(0.5)/log(0.5)

n = 1


Q10. The answer is 2.


It can be calculated using the equation:

 (1/2)ⁿ = x

x - decimal amount remaining, 

n - a number of half-lives.


Rhyolite #2 has 25% of the parent H remaining:

x = 25% = 25/100 = 0.25

n = ?

(1/2)ⁿ = 0.25

log((1/2)ⁿ) = log(0.25)

n * log(1/2) = log(0.25)

n * log(0.5) = log(0.25)

n = log(0.25)/log(0.5)

n = -0.602 / - 0.301

n = 2



Q3. The answer is 100 million years.


A number of half-lives (n) is a quotient of total time elapsed (t) and length of half-life (H):

n = t/H

n = 1

t = ?

H = 100 000 000 years


n = t/H

t = n * H

t = 1 * 100 000 000 years

t = 100 000 000 years<span>

What provides information about the body position with respect to gravity?​
patriot [66]

Answer:

Centre of Gravity

The centre of gravity (COG) of the human body is a hypothetical point around which the force of gravity appears to act. It is point at which the combined mass of the body appears to be concentrated[1]. Because it is a hypothetical point, the COG need not lie within the physical bounds of an object or person. One subjective way (there are objective measures) to approximate the COG of an object is to visualise it balancing on one finger.

Centre of Gravity in the Human Body

In the anatomical position, the COG lies approximately anterior to the second sacral vertebra. However, since human beings do not remain fixed in the anatomical position, the precise location of the COG changes constantly with every new position of the body and limbs. The bodily proportions of the individual will also affect the location of the COG.
