Answer:

Option (B)

Explanation:

The metamorphic rocks are formed directly from the previously existing rocks of all the three kinds such as sedimentary, igneous and other metamorphic rocks. This type of rock is primarily found in the convergent plate boundaries where the rocks are subjected to extreme pressure and temperature condition, resulting in the increasing grade of metamorphism, which is known as the prograde metamorphism. The rocks alters and give rise to the formation of metamorphic rocks, such as slate, phyllite, schist and gneiss.

Thus, the correct answer is option (B).

The flag shown represents Quebec's Independence Movement. Who would MOST LIKELY support this movement?
alexgriva [62]

The correct answer is - D) a French speaking Catholic member of the Parti Quebecois.

Quebec is one of the Canadian states. It has a long tradition of being a separatist state, and that it wants independence. It is the only one of the Canadian states that has a majority population that has French roots, and that is the biggest reason why it wants independence, because the culture and background of the majority is not as in the other Canadian states. It has its own separatist parties, and one of them is the Parti Quebecois.

What are cool things about birds
skelet666 [1.2K]
Well they can fly duhh. But there are other things as well they are very good hunters believe it or not birds have to use certain techniques to catch and find worms and other foods like the eagle as big as an eagle is the fact that it can make a top notch stealth approach on any of its prey is amazing. The way birds learn to fly is crazy but fascinating while birds are babies the parent pushes them off a high tree branch and wait till they get to a certain point if they don't fly they swoop down and catch them and do it again. This is to build the instinct within the baby bird to flap their wings. Now... When the bird gets to a certain age they should know how to fly unless they've broken a wing from all the times of falling from 80 foot trees or higher. But anyway the parent pushes them off for the last time and if they fly they go away and stay away forever but if they don't the parent must let them fall to the ground because at that point the bird won't survive in case of a predator attack.
