Why does melting occur at divergent plate boundaries

Geography
1 answer:
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]3 years ago

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

A radioactive isotope, Phlebotinum, decays into Dilithium with a half-life of 42 million years. If we find a rock with 25% Phleb
sineoko [7]

Answer:

time taken for 25% Phlebotinum and  75% Dilithium is 168 million years

Explanation:

radioactive isotope of Phlebotinum decays into Dilithium.

time taken to half life takes = 42 million years

half life means that the Phlebotinum is 50% and  Dilithium is also 50%

and now it is given that  Phlebotinum is 25% and Dilithium is 75%

hence this condition will come after two half lives.

for one half life it takes  42 million years

and for second half life time becomes 4 times of first half life

time for 25% Phlebotinum and  75% Dilithium is  = 4 × 42

     =  168 million years.

hence time taken for 25% Phlebotinum and  75% Dilithium is 168 million years
