Directed pressure causes _____.

A.foliation
B.large crystals
C.sedimentary layers
D.air pockets and gas bubbles

Answer 1

C. Sedimentary Layers, sedimentary rocks are created as a result of high pressure :)

I hope this helped!

Answer 2

A). Foliation

Step-by-step explanation:

The rock is under direct pressure, all the forces are applied to the rock equally in all the directions. Foliation occurs when the pressure squeezes the minerals that are within the rock in order to align them.

when the pressure increases the density increases and it leads to the creation of stress that results in foliation.

So, the correct answer would be option A.
