Describe the formation, characteristics, and minerals present of the following rocks:
SOVA2 [1]

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.

PLEASE HELP!!!
Musya8 [376]

Answer:

c) The planetoid is being attracted toward another massive object.

Explanation:

We can rule out a, the planetoid is travelling through space, friction is effectively nonexistent. B can be ruled out as well, as there is nothing in space that could naturally repel a planetoid. D is also implausible, as the question says the planetoid slows down for a certain period in its orbit, suggesting this behavior is repeated. Option c is incredibly likely, as the planetoid is far from the sun, a large mass, possibly far smaller than the sun but also far closer to the planetoid, could have the effect described in the question.
