The study of rocks is called petrology.

The correct answer is Schistosity

Foliation is dominantly found in Metamorphic rocks and is said to be the parallel alignment of textural and structural features of rocks. Differential stress is one major factor that contributes to the texture of metamorphic rocks. Differential stress can flatten the constituents of the rock. Generally, planar texture rocks are said to be foliated.

Schistosity is a kind of foliation present in phyllite and Schist rocks that are characterized by coarse-grained crystals due to the parallel alignment of platy minerals like

MicaBiotite, Muscovite.

The most visible way to recognize schistose texture is the visible platy minerals that depict planar alignment.

Hence, the correct answer is Schistosity.

Schistosity

Explanation:

Firstly, foliation is dominantly found in Metamorphic rocks and is said to be the parallel alignment of textural and structural features of rocks.

Differential stress is one major factor that contributes to the texture of metamorphic rocks. Differential stress can flattened the rocks constituents. Generally, planar texture rocks are said to be foliated.

Schistosity is a kind of foliation present in phyllite and Schist rocks that is characterize by coarse grained crystal due to the parallel alignment of platy minerals like mica, biotite and muscovite.

The picture above shows a schist rocks. The most visible way to recognize schistose texture is the visible platy minerals that depicts planar alignment.

The grandmother cell is a hypothetical neuronthat represents a complex but specific concept or object.[1] it activates when a person "sees, hears, or otherwise sensibly discriminates"[2] a specific entity, such as his or her grandmother. the term was in use at least as early as 1966 amongst staff and students in the department of experimental psychology, university of cambridge, england. a similar concept, that of the gnostic neuron, was proposed two years later

Some liquids can be distilled, but only at temperatures that are so high that it is impractical, or so high the compound decomposes. explain why distillation such compounds at significantly less than atmospheric pressure (some degree of vacuum) would solve this problem.
