They are two types of metamorphic rocks which differ on the basis of formation and appearance.

<u>Explanation</u>:

  • Foliated metamorphic rocks are a type of metamorphic rocks which appear like layers which is caused due to heat exposure and pressure.
  • They are formed due to high pressures.
  • Examples are phyllite, slate, schist
  • Non-foliated metamorphic rocks do not have such a layered appearance.
  • They are formed due to low pressures and also because of contact metamorphism. This is why they are mostly called as hornfels.
  • Examples are hornfels, marble

blondinia [14]

Answer: Enceladus

Explanation:

Enceladus is a small, icy body with an undergound ocean beneath its crust. Cassini discovered that geyser-like jets spew water vapor and ice particles. It is also the sixth largest moon in Saturn and just about a tenth of the largest moon in Saturn; Titan. It is often regarded as one of the most reflective body in the solar system as a result of its icy surface.

Gulls are often observed dropping clams and other shellfish from a height to the rocks below, as a means of opening the shells.
kumpel [21]

Answer:

v = 17.71 m / s

Explanation:

We can work this exercise with the kinematics equations. In general the body is released so that its initial velocity is zero, the acceleration of the acceleration of gravity

                v² = v₀² - 2 g (y -y₀)

                v² = 0 - 2g (y -y₀)

when it hits the stone the height is zero and part of the height of the seagull I

              v² = 2g y₀

              v = Ra (2g i)

let's calculate

              v =√ (2 9.8 16)

              v = 17.71 m / s

The equivalence between gravitational and inertial mass is explained in : the set of all of the events that happened on Earth
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

The correct answer is theory of general relativity.

Explanation:

According to the statement of equivalence the gravitational mass force on an object standing on the surface of earth is same as the pseudo force that acts on it if it accelerated at acceleration equal to acceleration due to gravity.

According to Einestine both the forces are indistinguishable  as both the forces produce same effects. Thus both are equivalent and thus gravity is a phenomenon that can be analysed in a radically different way which gives some strange results such as bending of light, existence of black holes,e.t.c
