Conditions in which it will lead to chemical weathering are the following;

-          Oxidation – formation of oxides when a rock reacts with elements oxygen and water changing into different color.

-          Dissolving in acid – carbonic acid is formed when carbon dioxide is dissolve n water, creating karst topography in creating sink holes and caves.

-          Hydrolysis – chemical weathering which is caused with the element water, it turns clay minerals.

-          Water absorption – rocks are put into stress making them vulnerable and expand.

-          Hydration – removal of water in the rocks.

Hello! It’s not January or June, because one Hemisphere will be hot, while another one will be cold. November could work, but then it would get colder and colder from there. It has to be March, because that’s where the spring equinox begins, where the days are balanced and the temperature start to become moderate. The answer is C: March.

How does it explain the differences between seafloor and continental crust?
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

Option (C)

Explanation:

The sea floor refers to the oceanic crust that are comprised of basaltic rocks. The basaltic rocks contains olivine, feldspar and some pyroxenes that are usually denser than the minerals that are found in the continental crust.

On the other hand, continental crust refers to the rocks that are found in the continental landmasses, often comprised of rocks that are granitic in nature. The minerals such as silicates, feldspars are less dense.

When continental plate are subducted under the oceanic crust, the rocks at greater depths undergoes partial melting as a result of which the rocks melts and forms magma. These magma becomes less dense due to the high temperature and rises up towards the the surface in the over-riding plate.

Thus, as the plate subducts, the rock chemistry changes , thereby making it less dense.

Hence, the correct answer is option (C).
