Answer:

Foiliation

Explanation:

  • Metamorphism is the transformation in the existing rock type and means a change in the form when the rocks are subjected to changes in heat and pressure.  
  • Regional metamorphism is also called dynamic metamorphism and foliation occurs when a rock s shortened along the axis during recrystallization. Such as mica, the foliated rocks is a product of the stress that deforms the rocks along the plane.

What is accurate about seismic waves moving through the Earth? Group of answer choices P-waves (also called push-waves or sound
jekas [21]

Answer:

Option (4)

Explanation:

Seismic P and S waves are generated during an earthquake that has the potential to propagate through the interior of the earth. P waves are also known as the primary waves and they move in a compression and extension way in their direction of propagation. S waves are shear waves. This P waves travel faster than the S waves and can travel in both solid as well as in liquid. Whereas the S wave can travel only through solids. They get absorbed when they reach the core-mantle boundary. These two waves are helpful in determining the epicenter of an earthquake by recording the arrival of these waves.

Hence, the correct answer is option (4).
