The type of magma associated with oceanic hot spots - mafic Decompression melting in this setting forms a long, submarine ridge - divergent boundary When mafic magma rising from the mantel rises through this type of crust, it will form int-felsic magma - Continental crust Shield volcanoes may form here, when magma upwells from the asthenosphere - hot spot The type of magma that most commonly forms at subduction zones - int-felsic magma This tectonic setting can form an explosive caldera - ...

Subduction A geological process in which one edge of a crustal plate is forced downward into the mantle below another plate and melted Asthenosphere The lower part of the mantle Lithosphere The upper part of the mantle and the crust Atmosphere The air and area that is above the crust and below space Core The extremely hot, solid, and dense center of the earth, which is believed to be composed of iron and nickel Mantle Between the core and the crust, liqui...

ESS 101 INTRO TO GEOLOGY - University of Washington _ Laboratory 4: Volcanoes, Plutons, and IgneousRocks. Fall 2022. Score for this attempt: 11.9 out of 15. Igneous rocks form when magma cools, either slowly underground or rapidly at earth’s surface (i.e. near volcanoes). Magma cooling processes affect the size of crystals in igneous rocks. Bigger crystals form in slow-cooling, underground magma chambers, and smaller crystals form in fast-cooling lava flows/eruptions. To recognize eight common...
