Answer: B. Metamorphic rocks
Explanation: Metamorphic rocks are those that have undergone changes due to extreme heat and pressure. Thus, the rock, from which it becomes a metamorphic rock, is heated at temperatures above 150-200 ° and exposed to a pressure of 1500 bar. In this way, the structure of the rock is changed, in terms of the arrangement of the atoms, and the result is a change of physical and chemical properties. There are two basic types of metamorphic rocks: foliated and slate. Generally, some of the metamorphic rocks are anthracite, schist, quartzite, marble, etc.
Answer: Plastic Pollution
In 1950, the world produced more than 2 million tons of plastic per year. By 2015, this annual production swelled to 419 million tons and exacerbating plastic waste in the environment.
A report by science journal, Nature, determined that currently, roughly 11 million tons of plastic make its way into the oceans every year, harming wildlife habitats and the animals that live in them. The research found that if no action is taken, the plastic crisis will grow to 29 million metric tons per year by 2040. If we include microplastics into this, the cumulative amount of plastic in the ocean could reach 600 million tons by 2040.
Shockingly, National Geographic found that 91% of all plastic that has ever been made is not recycled, representing not only one of the biggest environmental problems of our lifetime, but another massive market failure. Considering that plastic takes 400 years to decompose, it will be many generations until it ceases to exist. There’s no telling what the irreversible effects of plastic pollution will have on the environment in the long run.
Canada is the most educated country globally, with 56.71% of adults meeting the OECD criteria.
