The answers are:
1. Compaction - grains move closer together.
2. Foliation - parallel alignment of platy grains.
3. Recrystallization - grains take on a larger size.
4. Burial metamorphism - when a rock changes because of surrounding pressure. 

Compaction produce rocks that have a tighter grain arrangement due to heat and pressure the rock undergoes. This process reduces the size of the rock.
 
Foliation occurs when pressure is put on one side of the grains more than any other direction. This creates platy structured rocks, which align under pressure. 

Recrystallization is a process where the chemical composition  a rock is changed. The mineral grains that are produced in this process are larger than the original grains.

Burial metamorphism occurs when rocks get buried deeper and deeper. They change due to the pressure from the overlying layers.

the answer is;

foliation: the parallel alignment of platy grains.

recrystallization: when a rock changes because of surrounding pressure.

compaction: when grains move closer together.

burial metamorphism: when grains take on a larger size.

What direction does a S wave move
noname [10]

Answer:

As they travel through rock, the waves move tiny rock particles back and forth -- pushing them apart and then back together -- in line with the direction the wave is traveling. These waves typically arrive at the surface as an abrupt thud. Secondary waves (also called shear waves, or S waves) are another type of body wave

Internal energy is B. The sum of the kinetic and potential energies of the particles in a  system

Explanation:

The internal energy possessed by the particles in any substance has two origins:

  • Part of the energy of the particles is due to the motion of the particles. In fact, for a substance at a temperature larger than absolute zero, the particles in the substance are always in motion (for a solid, they just vibrate around their fixed position, while in a liquid and in a gas, the particles are actually free to move). Because of this motion, the particles have kinetic energy. The temperature of a substance is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in the substance.
  • The rest of the energy of a substance is in the form of potential energy, and it refers to the energy contained in the bonds between the particles of the substance (for instance, in the intermolecular bonds between different atoms in a solid). For a gaseous substance, these intermolecular bonds are very weak, therefore the potential energy is not considered and the internal energy of a gas depends only on its kinetic energy (and therefore, only on the temperature of the substance).

Therefore, the internal energy of a substance is the sum of the kinetic and the potential energies of the particles in the substance.
