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.

Question 7
nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

The correct answer will be-

Case I- option-B

Case-II-option-B

Explanation:

A scientific method is the best procedural approach to explain the natural phenomenon. The method includes various steps which begin with the making the observation. The observation leads to the asking the scientific questions which could be answered by proposing a hypothesis.  

The hypothesis must be tested through experiments which could prove and disprove the hypothesis and can answer the natural phenomenon.

<u>Case-I</u>

In the given situation of the question in which a person notices or observes the fields of grass and grass and native flower.  Since the researcher notices the fields, they are performing the first step of the method that is "making an observation" and thus Option-B is the correct answer.

<u>Case-II</u>

In the situation, which discusses the number of birds in the fields shows the "dependent variables". The dependent variable is the parameter which is studied in the experiments. Since in the given conditions the number of birds is being studied, therefore, Option-B is the correct answer.

Andreyy89
Hello!

The garbage patchs are a site with high concentrations of trash. They are formed by the ocean gyre, where the ocean have convergences zones forming a circle of currents. When the garbage join the circle, it can't go out, cause the currents make a kind of a permanent "wall".

We can locate garbages patchs in the South Atlantic Gyre, Indian Ocean Gyre and the South Pacific Gyre.
