The map below shows the locations of what type of boundary?
nika2105 [10]

Answer:

The map shows the locations of divergent plate boundaries.

Explanation:

There are three main types of plate boundaries, divergent, convergent, and transform plate boundaries. They are defined in accordance with the interaction that the plates have between each other. At divergent boundaries the plates move away from each other, at convergent boundaries, they move toward each other, and at transform boundaries, they slide past each other.

On this map, we have marked the locations of the divergent plate boundaries. We have the divergent boundaries between the Eurasian and Africa plates on one side and North American and South American on the other side, between the Pacific plate and Nazca plate, and between the Pacific and Nazca on one side and Cocos plate on the other Last but not least, there is the divergent plate boundary between the Antarctic plate on one side and the Australian, African, and South American plates on the other sides.

Why are felsic lava flows so much more viscous than mafic ones?
ira [324]

Answer:

Magma are the hot molten materials that rises up towards the surface due to the increasing force from the depth. These magma when comes out to the surface then they are considered as lava.

The felsic lava are those in which the amount of silica and aluminium is very high. Due to this high silica content, the viscosity is high. The amount of silica present in magma or lava is directly proportional to the viscosity of magma or lava. The felsic lava due to its high viscosity flows sluggishly.

Whereas, the basic lava are those in which the silica content is significantly less. Iron (Fe) and Magnesium (Mg) is mostly present in this type of lava. As a result of which it flows easily without any difficulty.

This is the reason why felsic magma (lava) are more viscous compared to the mafic magma (lava).
