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?

2) Schist
3) Both have the same metamorphic grade

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.

<h3>What is adaptations?</h3>

Adaptation can be described in different wats,  one of it is the  dynamic evolutionary process of natural selection  which make the  organisms to be able to live and carry out the life activities in their environment,  which aid their evolutionary fitness.

In the case, above , it should be noted that , adaptations would help the grass be a successful pioneer species when major forest fire kills all of the plants in an area, the first plants to grow in the burned area are often types of grass is B.rapid reproduction and the ability to grow in sunny places.

Therefore option B is correct.

The options for the question are:

A.slow reproduction and the ability to grow in sunny places

B.rapid reproduction and the ability to grow in sunny places

C.slow reproduction and the ability to grow in shady places

D.rapid reproduction and the ability to grow in shady places
