The statement is - True.
After the discovery of the oil reserves in the Middle East, the more powerful countries of Europe started to intensify their interest about the region a lot.
Until the oil reserves were discovered, the Middle East was not a zone of interest for the super powers of the European continent, so the region was kind of of put aside. But than, the oil reserves were discovered, and just that, but it turned out that they are enormous, the biggest in the world, and that changed the way the Middle East was looked at.
After the oil reserves were discovered and started to be exploited, all of the stronger and more influential countries had their focus on this region, and they still have it.
This is a true statement because such things are found on data maps. Usually, lakes, oceans, rivers, or any other type of water, are indicated with shades of blue to show the depth. The greater the depth the darker the blue will be.
Granite is an intrusive igneous rocks made up of different minerals. Granite is made of crystals of biotite, feldspar (orthoclase and plagioclase) and quartz. As weathering acts on the rock it is broken down. Quartz is the most resistant of all the minerals that make up granite and so it will be left after thousands of years of exposure to the processes of weathering and erosion. The main component of sandstone is quartz and it is formed when the weathered sediments leftover from the weathering of the granite rock gets deposited and compacted by the process of sedimentation.
Quartzite is a metamorphic rock formed from sandstone. Sandstone can change into quartzite if it is exposed to extreme heat and pressure inside the crust.
Continental collision occurs when two continental plates move towards each other, each plate being dragged along by convection currents in the mantle. The extreme pressure and heat along these collision zones can cause metamorphism. Granite rocks at these zones can become foliated and change into gneiss.
The rock cycle shows possible paths and processes which crust material (rock)can be subjected to. The three main types of rocks represented on the the cycle are igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic. Igneous rocks are formed when magma or lava cools and hardens. Sedimentary rocks are formed when deposited sediments gets buried, compacted and cemented into hard rock. Metamorphic rocks are formed when preexisting rocks get subjected to extreme temperatures and pressure in the crust.
Its called a diwa i think
