f. gneiss is foliated, whereas quartzite is unfoliated
Explanation:
The rock quartzite is a non foliated type of metamorphic rock. This kinds of rock has its formation caused by quartz sandstone getting metamorphic.
Metamorphic rock which are foliates such a s gneiss are formed due to heating in the earth which causes them to be soft even though they remain in the solid state. This occurs during regional metamorphism

cultural similarities between Ghana and Nigeria
Many Nigerians began moving to Ghana after Ghana became the first independent country in the region in 1957. Also in the late 1970s many Ghanaians moved to Nigeria as economic migrants. The relationship became sour for various reasons. Thus, under former Ghanaian president Busia's Aliens Compliance Order, Nigerians among other immigrants were forced to leave Ghana as they made up a significant percentage of Ghana's large undocumented population. The official reason for deportation was failing to comply with the immigration laws of the country. In 1983, Nigeria retaliated and deported up to 1 million Ghanaian and other African immigrants when Ghana was facing severe drought and economic problems. This further strained relations between the two countries.[2] In April 1988, a joint commission for cooperation was established between Ghana and Nigeria.

What is an example of a plant part and a stimulus to which is has negative tropism?
(6.L.2.2)
Roots and gravity
Stems and gravity
Shoot tips and sunlight
Tendrils and trellis wire
Answer: 1) a stem bends towards light. Tropism is the way a organism responds to its surrounding, the plant bends to the light, to survive.
2) Stems and Gravity. The plant wants to be towards the sun, and as close to the light as possible, gravity pushing down, will negatively effect the plants efforts to reach the light.
Hope this helps :)
A stem bends toward the light illustrates tropism
A stem is a plant part that has a negative tropism towards the gravity stimulus.
Tropism is the growth of an organism usually a plant in response to an external stimulus
Positive tropism is growth towards a stimulus. For example, a plant moves towards sunlight.
Negative tropism is growth away from a stimulus. For example, a plant's shoot moves away from gravity.

3. Find the value of w, then x. Round lengths of segments to the nearest tenth.
Answer:
Value of W = 13.33 unit (Approx)
Value of X = 24 unit (Approx)
Explanation:
Given:
Perpendicular = 12 unit
Find:
Value of W
Value of X
Computation:
Tan θ = Perpendicular / Base
Tan 42 = 12 / W
0.90 = 12 / W
Value of W = 13.33 unit (Approx)
Tan 27 = 12 / X
0.50 = 12 / X
Value of X = 24 unit (Approx)
