Answer:

<u>Foliation </u>

Explanation:

  • It is a type of flat or planar feature looking like the layer of the rock that is created by the alignment of the platy minerals such as mica.  Thus they exist in bands of light and dark color rocks with the interlocking grains having no specific patterns.
  • Slate has a low metamorphic grade where the minerals are not visible with the naked eye thus usually dark-colored rock. Schist is a medium coarse-grained rock with the visible regions of mica and are often shiny due to reflections is a product of the intermediate grade.
  • And gneiss a course-grained rock usually of lighter and darker bands of rocks with the highest grade of foliation.

What is one conclusion you can draw about changing political boundaries in africa represented on the maps?
frutty [35]

Answer:

The main conclusion that can be determined by observing the map of Africa is that the borders of the nations of modern Africa were determined by the colonial powers that distributed the territories of the continent after the Berlin Conference. Thus, the present borders of the continent do not respect the historical nationalities that the African tribes give each other, with which ethnic conflicts occur in many of these nations, especially in central Africa. Thus, although today it is a practically impossible situation, in case of wanting to respect the historical nationalities of the peoples of the continent, the current national borders should be modified taking into account the ethnic, social and cultural differences of its inhabitants.
