Answer:

Pyroxene and calcium-rich plagioclase feldspar

Explanation:

Basalt is a dark-colored basic igneous rock that is formed due to the cooling and crystallization of magma at the seafloor. It has a silica content of less than 45%. It is denser than the other rocks. It is comprised of finer crystals, which forms because of their faster rate of cooling. These crystals are made up of pyroxene and plagioclase feldspar (calcium-rich). This rock is mainly found in the mid-oceanic ridges and near and around the volcanoes.

Answer:

The correct answer is A. Country X has the higher natural increase rate.

Explanation:

Natural increase rate is the excess of fertility over mortality, that is, the difference between the number of births and deaths over a period of time; making the basis for population growth.

As Country X has a crude birth rate of 40 and a crude death rate of 15, its population's natural increase rate is 25. In turn, Country Y has a crude birth rate of 20 and a crude death rate of 9, so its population's natural increase rate is 11. So, as we can see, Country X has a higher natural increase rate.
