Match each rock with the correct description.

1 answer:

7 0

As from the option, rocks are divided into three types: Intrusive igneous rock, extrusive igneous rocks, sedimentary rocks and metamorphic rocks.

The answer of matching:

Intrusive igneous rocks- formed by lava from extrusive volcanism.

2. cools slowly beneath the earth's surface

extrusive igneous rock - formed by magma from intrusive volcansim.

1. cools quickly on the earth's surface

organic sedimentary rock - formed by compressed organic matters.

3. formed from the remains of living organisms

clastic sedimentary rock -formed by rocks compressed or cememted together.

4. formed from pieces of other rocks cemented together

chemical sedimentary rock - Formed when dissolved mineral gather and hardens

5. formed when dissolved minerals harden

metamorphic rock - Formed when parents rocks(other rock types, can be any) undergoes heat and pressure and change in texture and chemical components.

6. formed from heat and pressure

Hope it helps!

The many volcanoes located along the edge of the Pacific Ocean make up the Ring of Fire. How does subduction play a role in the

sertanlavr [38]

<span>The most volcanically active belt on Earth is known as the Ring of Fire, a region of subduction zone volcanism surrounding the Pacific Ocean. Subduction zone volcanism occurs where two plates are converging on one another. One plate containing oceanic lithosphere descends beneath the adjacent plate, thus consuming the oceanic lithosphere into the earth's mantle. This on-going process is called subduction. As the descending plate bends downward at the surface, it creates a large linear depression called an oceanic trench. These trenches are the deepest topographic features on the earth's surface.

</span>
<span>The crustal portion of the subducting slab contains a significant amount of surface water, as well as water contained in hydrated minerals within the seafloor basalt. As the subducting slab descends to greater and greater depths, it progressively encounters greater temperatures and greater pressures which cause the slab to release water into the mantle wedge overlying the descending plate. Water has the effect of lowering the melting temperature of the mantle, thus causing it to melt. The magma produced by this mechanism varies from basalt to andesite in composition. It rises upward to produce a linear belt of volcanoes parallel to the oceanic trench, as exemplified in the above image of the Aleutian Island chain. The chain of volcanoes is called an island arc. If the oceanic lithosphere subducts beneath an adjacent plate of continental lithosphere, then a similar belt of volcanoes will be generated on continental crust. </span>
