The answer in here is diorite, the first option. We know this because in the normal classification the diorite composition ranges are between 58% and 60%  of plagioclase, <span> 25%  and 26% of amphibole and 13% and 16% biotite. That is why the answer is the first one.</span>

The correct answer is:

<h3>(1) diorite </h3><h3>Explanation:</h3>

Diorite is an medium- to coarse-grained impertinent igneous rock that commonly is composed of about two-thirds plagioclase feldspar and one-third dark-colored minerals, such as hornblende or biotite.

The development of the population policies in the 20th century were due too multiple factors, the most important of which were:

- Fertility rates were starting to lower down, especially in the ''western world'' in the second half of the 20th century.
- Increased demand for labor force.
- The World Wars, especially the second one caused huge migration movements.
- Millions of people from less developed countries were trying to migrate to more developed countries in search of a better life.

What is the percent uncertainty in the area of a circle whose radius is 1.8 × 104 cm?
lara [203]
Here the absolute uncertainty is not given, so assume the last reported digit can vary by 1. That means the absolute uncertainty is 0.1 × 10^4 cm. 

Now, when you perform math operations on the measurements, you have to adjust the absolute uncertainty of the final result. In particular: 
1. If you multiply the measurement by some number "n" (which has zero uncertainty), then you must also multiply the uncertainty by "n". 
2. If you square the measurement, then you must multiply the uncertainty by 2M (where "M" is the amount of the measurement) 
3. And lastly, if you cube the measurement, you must multiply the uncertainty by 3M²So, if the measured radius is "R" (1.8x10^4 cm); and the uncertainty is "Δ" (0.1 × 10^4 cm), then the area is: 

Area = πR² +/- π(2R)Δ 

(Notice I multiplied the Δ by π (according to Rule 1 above) and then by (2R) (according to Rule 2) above.) 

Relative uncertainty = absolute uncertainty / measured value, so: 

Relative uncertainty in area = π(2R)Δ / (πR²) 
= 2Δ/R 
= 0.2 × 10^4 cm / (1.8 times; 10^4 cm) 
(which is about 11%)
