Soil erosion is the process weathering of soil caused by the water, tillage or the wind. Pesticides and other chemicals can get trapped in the soil, polluting streams and rivers as the soil breaks apart. Mass movement is a major part of the erosional process and is usually the first stage in the breakdown and transportation of weathered elements in mountainous areas moving the material from the higher elevations to lower elevations where other disintegrating agents such as rivers and glaciers can then pick up the rock and move it to even lower elevations.

Explain which type of melting (flux, decompression, heat transfer) is responsible for mafic magmas in each of the following plat
EleoNora [17]

Solution :

The type of melting that is responsible for the mafic magmas for the following plate tectonic settings :

a). Mid - ocean ridges

At the mid oceanic ridges, the two plates diverges away and the new oceanic crust is formed by the effusion of the magma. The earth's interior is exposed as the two plates are moved away.

b). Continental rift :

A new oceanic crust is formed by the effusion of the magma and the two plates diverges away. Thus it causes the formation of the melt in the continental drift. As a result, the crustal thickness decreases.

c). Oceanic and continental volcanic arc :

The oceanic arc and the volcanic arc are the locations of the convergence. The denser plate of the arcs subducts under the less denser plates or the  lighter plates and it moves downwards into the mantle, which causes the increase in temperature of the surroundings.
