The foliated texture of the rock (as exhibited by the banding of different colored minerals) provides evidence for the orientation of the maximum differential stress involved in its metamorphism. For this model!what is the direction of the maximum differential stress placed on the rock? View Available Hint(s) Along a direction roughly parallel to the orientation of the mineral layers Along a direction from the top to the bottom Along a direction at 45^circ to the orientation of the mineral layers Equally in all directions

3. What is the product of mechanical and chemical weathering? Diapir Diatreme Pluton Sediment Question 4 4. The finest-size sediment. Silt Sand Clay Tillite

How does the Gulf Stream affect London? A. It moves cool water north from the Gulf of Mexico, making London colder than it should be at its latitude. B. It moves warm water north from the Gulf of Mexico, making London warmer than it should be at its latitude. C. It moves warm water north from the Gulf of Mexico during the winter, keeping the temperature constant year round. D. The moving water causes lower air pressure which holds less moisture and reduces the precipitation that London receives.
