Answer:

D. Metamorphic, Sedimentary

Explanation:

When both plates collide, heating and high pressure causes recrystallisation of minerals that have been formed before. New mineralogical facies would surface. This is a metamorphic change and the rock becomes a metamorphic rock.

Due to the weathering of this rock, materials are eroded, transported into basins of deposition to form new sedimentary layers. The rock that forms through the compaction and cementation of the sediments is a sedimentary rock.

The major industrial nations of the world, like the United States and China, are also the world's largest
Vinvika [58]

Answer:

This problem should be worked on by the most developed countries as they have the biggest capacity, and after they get on the right way to help the developing countries and show them the way as to how to do it as well.

Explanation:

The carbon emissions that humanity is releasing into the atmosphere can not be attributed to only a few countries, but to most of the countries in the world. All countries that have some kind of industry contribute to the problem, though some countries much more than others.

In order for carbon emissions to decrease there should be a global collaboration. The most developed countries because they have the most finances and resources should lead the way and come up with solutions, and once they do this to help the developing countries with it so that they can also stop the carbon emissions.

Many countries are already on the right path, namely Germany, the Netherlands, France, the Scandinavian countries. The two biggest economies though, the US and China don't even want to hear about this because of their race for economic dominance, so it seems that reasoning the governments of these two countries will be the most important step for global turnaround.
