Answer:
a. geological processes occurring today have always occurred in the past
Explanation:
The theory of uniformitarianism is a theory that suggests that the changes in the crust of the Earth have been the result of geological activities that have been continuous and uniform processes. This theory doesn't really have big following in the present, though it has been much more popular in the past. The reason for that is that there have been numerous evidence that the changes in Earth's crust have not been created constantly by the same processes throughout the whole geological past. The supporters of this theory still stay strong on their beliefs though despite the evidence, and they offer other ''evidence'' that support their opinion.
The correct answer is - Magma generated from a hot spot burned through the overlying plate to create volcanoes.
The Hawaiian Islands are all formed as a result of volcanic activity of a hot spot. The hot spot is stationary, but the islands are in the shape of a chain, not all in the same place. Also, the rocks on the islands that do not have active volcanoes are older, than the ones that do have volcanic activity. This suggests that the Pacific plate is moving. According the direction in which the islands are arranged, the Pacific plate seems to move toward northwest. As it moves, it moves over the hot spot. Since the hot spot is stationary, as the Pacific plate moves, eventually the volcanic activity will stop on the island that has moved further away from the hot spot. The magma from the hot spot will penetrate through the crust that came to be over it. That will result in new volcanic island emerging from the sea over the hot spot. The process goes on for millions of years, and it can result in hundreds of islands of volcanic origin.
Answer:
A. are brought from the mantle to the surface in magma that hardens into kimberlite
Explanation:
Diamonds are brought to the surface from the mantle in a magma that is known as the kimberlite. This kimberlites is rich in gases and it is an igneous rock that has the following minerals,olivine, phlogophite, serpentine etc.
The origination of diamonds in the mantle happens as carbon transformation occurs due to heat and pressure occurs. The kimberlite pipes and what brings the diamonds to the surface
The answer would be B) micro state
