aqueous rocks
metamorphic rock
sedimentary rocks
igneous rocks
ব্যাখ্যা: ব্যাখ্যা: Metamorphic rocks are formed by the metamorphism process. Some example of metamorphic rocks are slate, gneiss, schist, marble, soapstone etc.
26272. Which of the following is an example of silicious rock? [MES-18]
granite
gneiss
quartzite
all of these
ব্যাখ্যা: ব্যাখ্যা: The rocks which contain silica in predominant amount are called as siliceous rocks. Presence of a large amount of free sillca makes them harden and durable. Granite, greiss, quartzite, chert. etc. are example of siliceous rocks.
26273. The base material for distemper is [MES-18]
chalk
lime
clay
lime putty
ব্যাখ্যা: ব্যাখ্যা: Distempers are the cheaper variety of paints in which chalk is used as base and water is used as a carrier. So the base material for distemper is chalk.
