a)

Quartzite

b)

Marble

c)

Schist

What is the main factor responsible for the formation of foliated structure in metamorphic rocks?

a)

High temperature

b)

Pressure in one direction

c)

Chemical weathering

d)

Presence of silica

4.

Assertion: Chemical sedimentary rocks are formed by the evaporation of water. Reason: The composition of these rocks is primarily due to the precipitation of dissolved minerals from water.

a)

Both Assertion and Reason are correct, and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion.

b)

Both Assertion and Reason are correct, but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion.

c)

Assertion is correct, but Reason is incorrect.

a)

Quartz

b)

Mica

c)

Feldspar

d)

Olivine

9.

Assertion: The dynamic thermal metamorphism occurs during the formation of mountain ranges. Reason: This metamorphism occurs due to the combined effect of heat and pressure at deep depths.
