Phyllite and schist are both metamorphic rocks. When you examine the rock samples, you will be able to see that schist has visib

le mineral crystals, but phyllite does not. Can you tell which rock has undergone higher temperature and pressure conditions (has a higher metamorphic grade)? If so, which one?
1) Phyllite
2) Schist
3) Both have the same metamorphic grade
4)You can't tell just by looking at the rocks

Answer:

1)Phyllite

Explanation:

The rock which has undergone more temperature and pressure conditions is Phyllite which is also known as Gneiss.

Schist and Phyllite are produced by the process of medium to high grade metamorphism. But in some cases Phyllite is produced by high grade metamorphism when compared to schist. The Low-grade metamorphic rocks always tend to be fine-grained. High-grade metamorphic rocks are often tend to be coarse-grained.

Phyllite is a high grade metamorphic rock,which means it has been subjected to higher temperatures and pressures than schist. Phyllite is formed by the metamorphosis of granite, or the sedimentary rock. Gneiss/Phyllite displays distinct defoliation, representing the alternating layers composed of different mineral forms.

Answer:

Asians migrated to the United States during the California Gold Rush.

Explanation:

During the California Gold Rush, a very number of people migrated to the West. The reason why such mass migration happened is that people simply wanted to get rich by finding larger amounts of gold. Now while there was gold in California, the exaggerations as to how much there is were very big which fooled a lot of people.

It was not just people that already lived in the United States in the eastern part of it, but people from all over the world heard about the gold in California. Asians, mostly Chinese, flocked to try and migrate to the United States. Many of them managed to do so, but the majority ended up empty-handed and instead of getting rich with gold ended up working on infrastructural projects or mines. Because of the huge amount of Chinese people trying to migrate to the United States, as well as their lower requirements when it came to wages, the United States banned them for several decades and did not allow Chinese people to migrate to the country.

JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

It will be at 34 ºF

Explanation:

If we start at 12 am with a temperature of 44 ºF, and each hour later, the temperature will be 2 ºF less, so...

1 am - 42 ºF

2 am - 40 ºF

3 am - 38 ºF

4 am - 36 ºF, that is the temperature of the dewpoint.

So after this point, each hour the temperture will decrease 1ºF, so..

5 am - 35 ºF

6 am - 34 ºF, ending with this temperature at the morning.

Hope this info is useful.
