What advantage of a map which shows only a small portion of earth's surface compared to a large scale map?

Geography

Artemon [7]3 years ago

You can see more details depending on how "zoomed in" it is or how small the portion is. For example if you look on a map of the world you can see the landforms and bodies of water, but if you look at one of just the US you can see the different state borders as the state capitals, lastly if you look at one of just a single state you can see all the different streets and all the city's located in that state.

10. What is partial melting compared to the complete melting of a rock? Why is it that rocks do not usually experience complete
Kamila [148]

Answer:

Partial melting occurs when only a portion of solid is melted. It is thus enriched in the chemical components of minerals with lower melting temperatures and the remaining unmelted portion of the rock is composed of minerals with highest melting temperatures. Partial melting preferentially enriches melts with incompatible elements.

Partially melted rock do not usually experience complete melting inside the Earth, due to their different chemical composition and their melting points.

It is thought that partial-melting processes play a major role in generating more-defined liquids from less-evolved ones, so that many basalts may be the result of partial melting in the upper mantle, and many granites may have derived partly or completely from the partial melting of continental crust (anatexis).With increasing temperature and pressure, the subducted oceanic crust (of basic composition) first undergoes metamorphism and then begins to melt or release watery fluids; this material rises into the overlying mantle, which may also begin to melt, giving rise to intermediate magma.

Question 3 (1 point
Virty [35]

Answer:

AB = 5.8 units

Explanation:

The distance of line segment AB shown in the attachment below can be calculated using the distance formula, d = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2}, assuming that each box in the graph equals 1 unit.

A(2, 4)

B(-3, 1)

Let,

A(2, 4) = (x_1, y_1)

B(-3, 1) = (x_2, y_2)

Plug in the values into the distance formula

d = \sqrt{(-3 - 2)^2 + (1 - 4)^2}

d = \sqrt{(-5)^2 + (-3)^2}

d = \sqrt{25 + 9}

d = \sqrt{34}

d = 5.8 (nearest tenth)

AB = 5.8 units
