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?

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.

Over the last 10 years a large number of iceballs have been found in the outer solar system out beyond pluto
Marina CMI [18]
The statement is true. Lots of ice balls, ice small planets and planetoids have been discovered in the outer Solar System beyond Pluto. This has lead to confusion in the classification of the planets, and what is and what is not a planet, so Pluto was first taken out from the planets order, than brought back, and there's a big debate and there's not really an opinion that prevails by much over the other, on weather Pluto should be or not a planet, and the same goes about the other planets and planetoids, like Charon and Xena for example.

Times more energy than
viva [34]

Answer:

The magnitude scale is logarithmic. That just means that if you add 1 to an earthquake's magnitude, you multiply the shaking by 10. For example, if the magnitude of one quake is 6 and another is 4, than the difference in magnitudes is 2, so the stronger earthquake shakes 10^2 or 100 times as hard as the milder one
