<u>Answer:</u>

Metallic minerals become concentrated in liquid magma because they undergo igneous and hydrothermal processes.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • The magma that is formed deep beneath the 'surface of the Earth' carries various earth minerals to the surface of the Earth through convective actions.
  • It is responsible for the melting of solid minerals in the interiors of Earth.
  • The minerals as a result of melting, liquify and reach the levels where their density allows them to float.
  • This results in the concentration of minerals in liquid magma.

The percentage of a rock’s total volume that has pores and spaces is referred to as its _______________________.
Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

Porosity

Explanation:

Porosity is defined as the total percentage of pore spaces that are present within a rock. These spaces are found between the rock particles and fractures and are mostly filled with fluid mixture or water. It is the ratio between the total pore space in a rock to the total volume of the rock. It is mainly calculated in terms of percentage.

Porosity is directly affected by sorting. Well-sorted rocks indicate high porosity but poorly-sorted rocks indicate low porosity. Some of the examples of rocks exhibiting high porosity are limestone, shale, and sandstone. Rocks with low porosity include granite and mudstone.
