Answer:

D. Ferromagnesian minerals

Explanation:

An igneous rock (formed from the solidification of molten rock material) with a very low silica content (less than 45%), low potassium content and rich in minerals, more than 90% magnesium (MgO) and iron (FeO), is known as ultramafic igneous rock (also known as ultrabasic rocks), they are dark-colored, found in orogenic (mountain-forming) belts and they are used for scientists to understand geological processes in the Earth's history. Examples include peridotite, kimberlite, lamprophyre, lamproite, dunite, and komatiite.

<em>Considering this information we can conclude that D. Ferromagnesian minerals are the correct answer. </em>

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!

Are there going to be glaciers in the future please answer asap​
antiseptic1488 [7]
There won’t be most likely. Many glaciers are already melting at a fast pace already. They aren’t being formed either just melting. They’re shrinking significantly and will probably be gone soon because of climate change. Even glaciers that have been around for millions of years a melting away. :(

Which dating method would be MOST appropriate for establishing the age of a volcanic ash layer from an early hominid site in eas
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

potassium-argon dating

Explanation:

Potassium-argon (K-Ar) dating technique is the most appropriate dating method for establishing the age of a volcanic ash. It is most applicable for dating minerals and rocks more than 100,000 years old.  It is based on measuring the product of the radioactive decay of an isotope of potassium (k) into argon (Ar). Since potassium is a common element found in many volcanic ash layer, the time since re-crystallization is calculated by measuring the ratio of the amount of argon 40 (Ar-40) accumulated to the amount of potassium 40 (K-40) remaining in these volcanic ashes.
