Why does melting occur at divergent plate boundaries

Geography
1 answer:
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Explanation:

As plates move apart at the divergent plate boundary the release of pressure produces partial melting of the underlying mantle. This molten material, known as magma, is basaltic in composition and is buoyant. As a result, it wells up from below and cools close to the surface to generate new crust

4. Magma can be created from mantle rock when:
timurjin [86]
Thae answer is all of the above because magma can be created when hit, liquid rock intrudes into earth’s cold crust. As the liquid rock solidifies, it loses its heat to the surrounding crust. Much like hot fudge being poured over cold ice cream, this transfer of heat is able to melt the surrounding rock (the “ice cream”) into magma.

Which of the following has been a negative effect of industrialization in china?
ella [17]
Sharp reduction in agricultural land has been the negative effect of industrialization in China. This scenario occurs because the development of cities to accommodate high population will give way to more lands that will be used for innovations instead for agriculture/food production. This does not only happen in China but also in other parts of the world where the fast increase in their economic growth is going on a fast rate but there are not enough places to accommodate this specific growth. 

As a result, lands that are supposed to be for agriculture are maximized by city construction which in the long term might lead to societal hunger.
