Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Shocked quartz is a mineral found in some meteorites that have impacted the Earth. It has a unique appearance due to the intense pressure and shock waves created during impact, allowing it to be easily identified in geological samples. The other choices (stress, phyllite, slaty cleavage, and schistosity) are all related to various rock types and processes but are not specifically linked to meteorite impacts.
