If a rock is metamorphosed but does not contain foliation or lineation, what has probably happened to the rock?
Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

Explanation:

One of the first scenario is that the rock might not contain minerals that would result in the formation of foliations and lineations in the rock.

The bulk of a rock fabric depends on mineral orientations and their unique properties. This is why platy minerals play very important roles in defining the fabric of a rock.

Another scenario is that, the rock might have exceeded the extreme of metamorphism where melting is approached. All fabrics will eventually fan out and be destroyed.

... (2900 mi)/(186000 mi/s) ≈ 15.6 ms

for the signal to travel coast-to-coast at light speed.

_____

There are time delays due to the amplifiers and repeaters required in the path, and due to the fact that the signals don't actually travel at the speed of light in a wire.

A test of internet speed between Seattle and Washington, DC shows a round-trip time of about 87 ms when traffic is light. Modern communication channels tend to be faster than the telegraph (especially when measured in words per minute).
