Metamorphic rocks that show layers of dark minerals alternating with layers of light minerals are classified as foliated.

Answer from: AdityaMathur

Foliation

Explanation:

It is a type of flat or planar feature looking like the layer of the rock that is created by the alignment of the platy minerals such as mica. Thus they exist in bands of light and dark color rocks with the interlocking grains having no specific patterns. Slate has a low metamorphic grade where the minerals are not visible with the naked eye thus usually dark-colored rock. Schist is a medium coarse-grained rock with the visible regions of mica and are often shiny due to reflections is a product of the intermediate grade. And gneiss a course-grained rock usually of lighter and darker bands of rocks with the highest grade of foliation.

Answer from: Quest

it is very hard for the climatologists to precisely predict how will the global temperatures be changing so there's lots of models, some of which differ significantly, this is due to multiple factors, and probably the most important is the human activity.

humans have been a key factor in climate change around the globe since the start of the industrial revolution, and in the past few decades the consequences are becoming more obvious. there's lots of emission of pollutants in the atmosphere as well as changing the environment on the surface itself, so it's really hard to predict how will that go in the future because there's some countries that are reducing the damage and are going towards green energy, while others are stubbornly continuing with pollution and damages to the environment.
