Match the magma/lava 3) basalt
type with the appropriate 4) periodite
geographic/tectonic 5) andesite
setting where it likely
formed.
3. Columbia Plateau
4. Asthenosphere
5. Mount Fuji, Japan
Match the magma type with Iceland = Basalt
the appropriate tectonic Sierra Nevada Batholith = Granite
setting where it likely forms. Philippine Islands = Andesite
1. Iceland Ural mountains= granite
2. Sierra Nevada Batholith
3. Philippine Islands
4. Ural mountains
(basalt, granite, andesite,
periotite, andalucite)r
The Columbia Plateau is Basalt
composed of rock rich in:
The melting temperature of increases as pressure is reduced (as it rises). Therefore it
granitic magma (wet melt) solidifies as it rises and rarely gets to surface. Dry
______________: basaltic magma has opposite effect.
A partial melt of the the above question is incorrect because an
asthenosphere will not rise asthenospheric melt will rise towards the surface
toward the surface
because _____________.
are blocky textured flows that form as the viscosity
Aa basalts _______.
increases during degassing
, When two ocean plates the older plate will be subducted (because it is more
converge ___________. dense)
The most widely accepted movement of electrons in the molten iron of its outer
explanation for the earth's core
magnetic field is
_______________.
What kind of plate margin Divergent Margins
exists today in East Africa?
What type of volcanic rock Volcanic Tuff
would incorporate lithic
fragments during the
eruption.
Why does potassium this mineral has an aluminum atom in some of its
feldspar develop cleavage tetrahedra which requires additional ionic bonds with
planes yet it is a framework potassium atoms
silicate mineral with all its
oxygen atoms shared
between tetrahedra?
3. ______________ flows from Pyroclastic
Mount Vesuvius obliterated
the Roman city of Pompeii
in 79AD.
What is Lahar? Mudflow on the slopes of a volcano
Magnetic minerals that be oriented perpendicular to the
crystallize in a lava flow surface of the lava flow
erupted near the North
Pole today will ________.
Rank the chemical bonds Van der Waals, ionic, covalent
forming minerals from
weakest to strongest (Van
der waals, covalent, ionic)
What are the two most Si and O
common elements
comprising rocks of the
crust and mantle.
How does the silicate it will share electrons between oxygen atoms AND it will
tetrahedron achieve charge form ionic bonds with available cations. -4 net charge
balance?
