Answer:

factitious disorder imposed on another

Explanation:

  • Factitious disorder imposed on another is a psychological disorder in which a person who is taking care of another person acts and creates a situation that leads people to believe that the person in care is sick when in reality they are not.
  • A person who is taking care of another person can either deliberately cause the person in care to become sick or can either lie about it.
  • People use this to gain sympathy for all the hard work they are putting in to take care of the person and often exaggerate the illness.
  • In the given situation, Jack who is taking care of his father is also resorting to deceptive means to make his father sick and is enjoying the attention he gets due to his sickness and thus, he is suffering from factitious disorder imposed on another.

How and why the plagioclase feldspar in basaltic rocks differs from that in grantic rocks
Tanya [424]

Both are different because of their Silica content and the rates of cooling.

Explanation:

  • Plagioclase feldspar is igneous rocks.  This group rocks are forming from minerals. They are very major to the dominant minerals in igneous rocks which present on the earth’s crust. Rhyolite, andesite, basalt, diorite and granite are the extrusive and intrusive igneous salts where plagioclase is the major constituents.
  • Igneous rocks are the rocks which formed due to the crystallisation of magma. The main difference between granite and basalt is that one their silica content and second their rates of cooling. A granite contains 73%SiO2 and basalt contains 53% SiO2. Both are slowly cooled inside the earth’s crust.
