BartSMP [9]4 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Option (D)

Explanation:

The contact metamorphism is a type of metamorphism which usually occurs around an intrusive igneous body. The temperature of the adjacent rock increases due to the intrusion of hot molten magma. The area that surrounds this intrusive body forms a ring which is typically known as the metamorphic aureole. The rocks that are commonly formed due to this type of metamorphism is hornfels. This rocks are mostly fine-grained and they do not indicate if the deformation is strong or weak.

Thus, this type of metamorphism generally takes place in the areas surrounding an igneous intrusion.

Hence, the correct answer is option (D).

Which projection might you use to examine and compare population
Alex787 [66]

Answer:

The correct answer is D. To examine and compare population densities using one view of the entire world I would use the Robinson Projection.

Explanation:

Robinson Projection is a non-equivalent projection based on coordinates and not on mathematical formulation, having been designed to minimize angular and area distortions. In this projection the latitude parallels are straight, but the longitude meridians are not. The advantage of the Robinson projection is that it looks very natural. It shows relatively large deviations in angle and area only in the area of ​​the poles, which increase with the distance from the central meridian. However, it is not distortion-free in any area.
