Answer: Gneiss

Explanation: Gneiss is a metamorphic rock formed from shale at very high temperature and pressure condition. They exhibit a preferred alignment or orientation of platy minerals called foliation. They are coarse grained and exhibit gneissose banding. They are formed from highest grade regional metamorphism with temperature between 450 - 600 degree celcius and pressure between 800 - 1000 mega pascal. They generally occur in cores of fold mountain belts where mountain ranges have been eroded.

Who discovered halloween

The Origin of Halloween  

The Celtic festival known as Samhain is believed to be the predecessor of modern Halloween. Samhain marked the end of the Celtic harvest season. It was also the start of the Celtic New Year. The date for the New Year was October 31. On this day, the Celts believed that the lines separating the living and the dead dissipated.

During this time, evil spirits were said to roam the Earth. To combat these forces, the Celts would don masks. This aspect in the history of Halloween helps explain the tradition of watching scary costumes during the festival.

Where the Name Came From  

Halloween got its name from Hallowe’en. This in turn was derived from All Hallow’s Eve. During the 9th century, the church changed the date of All Saint’s Day or All Hallows’ Day from May 13 to November 1. November 2 was then declared as the day of the dead.

For this reason, October 31 became known as All Hallows’ Eve. Despite the move of the church, the festival remained very popular among the people.

How does the geographic distributions of monsoonal climate explain why koppens monsoonal climates typically have higher precipit
Soloha48 [4]

The monsoonal climates are located just north of the Equator, but their formation is above the sea surfaces, not in the mainland, and their influence is mainly on peninsular regions.

Because the formation of the monsoons is above the warm sea waters, there's a very high amount of water vapor in the air, so when those air masses are reaching the land, enormous amounts of rainfall occurs.

Most of the places that have the biggest amounts of precipitation in the world, are places where the monsoons are the most dominant.
