Western Europe is more developed than Eastern Europe because <u>the market economy of Western Europe provides an economic advantage</u>
Explanation:
Stark differences persist between the western and eastern part of Europe. While western Europe was under the influence of Capitalism mode of production (led by the US and Great Britain), the eastern part was led by the erstwhile USSR following socialist mode of production.
Under the market economy, open competition and adaptive hand-holding by the US, western European countries prospered by leaps and bound. Marshall plan prepared by the US helped in post-war reconstruction of western Europe. On the other hand, eastern countries fell prey to the despotic rule of dictators, political instability and socialisation of assets. There were no such private assets and the important assets were nationalised. In the long run, the socialistic model of the market could not stand up to capitalism and fell in 1991 when the USSR disintegrated.

Answer:
Granite
Explanation:
granite is formed when magma slowly cools and crystallises long before it is able to reach the earths surface.
Explanation:
Serpentine
- Formation: it forms through serpentinization, a geological low-temperature metamorphic process where low-silica mafic and ultramafic rocks are oxidized and hydrolyzed with water into serpentinite.
- Characteristics: rich in magnesium and water, light to dark green, greasy-looking and slippery feeling. It can resist the transfer of heat. A source of asbestos, architectural stone, ornamental stone, gem material
- Minerals present: it follows the formula (X)2-3(Y)2O5(OH)4 where X can be magnesium, iron, nickel, aluminum, zinc, or manganese; and, Y will be silicon, aluminum, or iron.
Green Schist
- Formation: they form by regional metamorphism of mafic igneous rocks through depth of burial, and proximity to batholiths.
- Characteristics: The green is due to abundant green chlorite
- Minerals present: actinolite and epidote mainly, but they can also include quartz, orthoclase, talc, carbonate minerals, and amphibole.
Basalt Pillow
- Formation: it forms when lava of basaltic compositions erupted underwater. The rapid cooling of the lava forms the pillow-shaped bodies.
- Characteristics: they are volcanic igneous rocks, very dark, almost black color.
- Minerals present: Basalt has a lower percentage of silica and a higher percentage of iron and magnesium than other volcanic rocks.
Umber
- Formation: it develops in Cyprus massive sulfide deposits.
- Characteristics: is not one precise color, but a range of different colors, from medium to dark, from yellowish to reddish to grayish depending on the iron oxide and manganese in the clay
- Minerals present: contains iron oxide and manganese oxide and sulfide precipitates like pyrite.
