Answer:

The correct answer is D. 4,2,3,1

Explanation:

Shale is metamorphosed into three rock types( phyllite, schist and gneissic) a dull slate with cleavage, a rock with small mica crystals with a shiny aspect, a very shiny rock with large mica crystals and a banded gneissic rock.

Shales that are subject to heat and pressure of metamorphism alter into a hard, fissile, metamorphic rock known as slate. When metamorphic grade is continually increased the sequence is phyllite, then schist and finally gneiss.

Answer:

d. 4, 2, 3, 1

Explanation:

Shale is a type of sedimentary rocks, which is characterized by it fine-grained, fissile and laminated nature. It is formed through the mixing of silt and mineral particles often referred to as mud.

Shales are metamorphosed through the heat and pressure, into a hard fissile metamorphic rock known as SLATE. SLATE is characterized by it fine-grain nature with well developed rock cleavage or salty cleavage. Then it metamorphose to PHYLLITE, which is also characterized by its fine-grained mica flakes, and it contains quartz, sericite micas and chlorite. After PHYLLITE, the shale metamorphosed to SCHIST; identified by its coarse grain nature, with mica crystals that are large enough, to unaided eyes. From there, Shale metamorphosed finally to GNEISS; a branded rock, characterized by its medium to coarse grain nature, with poorly developed cleavage.

Answer:

Explanation:

1. glacial tills and cirques Till is derived from the erosion and entrainment of material by the moving ice of a glacier. It is deposited some distance down-ice to form terminal, lateral, medial, and ground moraine. Cirques form by the accumulation of snow and ice avalanching from upslope areas. The size of cirque glaciers ranges from glaciers that are completely limited within hosting bedrock hollows, to glaciers that form the heads of large valley glaciers.

2. ENERGY FROM THE SUN heats up the air at the equator most because of the curvature of the earth. This tends to rise up then head toward the poles where it cools and moves closer to the surface and then more or less back toward the equator.

THE ROTATION OF THE EARTH makes the movement of air relative to the surface of the earth seem to deflect. This Coriolis effect doesn't affect your toilet flushing, but does influence large scale wind patterns and hurricanes.

THE LATITUDE OF VANCOUVER roughly half way between the equator and the north pole positions us so the large scale wind patterns tend to bring us winds from the west.

THE PACIFIC OCEAN sits to the west. Winds pick up moisture from it toward shore. Large bodies of water also tend to hang on to energy that keeps our temperatures more moderate.

THE COAST MOUNTAINS push the moist air upward so it cools off and can't hold on to as much moisture, so it rains.

THE TILT OF THE EARTH'S AXIS relative to the plane of our orbit around the sun means we are tilted away from the sun during winter, so it's cooler. This results in a greater temperature gradient between the equator and the north pole, and the winds get stronger. The cooler temperatures combined with more moisture-ladened wind brings more rain during winter.
