Answer:

A. It contains silicate materials high in iron and magnesium.

E. It is formed at zones of volcanic activity on the ocean floor.

Explanation:

    Oceanic crust is the name given to the terrestrial lithosphere layer, with specific characteristics of composition, thickness and differentiated densities, which constitute the bottom of the ocean basins. This together with the Continental Crust constitute the Earth Crust, yet they are completely distinct in composition, thickness and geological history.

Characteristic and its Composition:

  • has a thickness of 5 to 10 km (rarely exceeding 10 km);
  • it is denser than the continental crust, varying from region to region;
  • In its composition there are mafic materials of the Basalt and Gabon family, which are rich in ferromagnetic minerals, due to this composition the oceanic crust is called sima (silicon and magnesium), opposing to sial (silicon and aluminum) continental crust.

The igneous rock gabbro most likely formed
weeeeeb [17]

Slowly, deep underground

The igneous rock gabbro is coarse grained and non-vesicular. Both characteristics show that it is an intrusive igneous rock. Intrusive igneous rocks are formed below Earth's surface and slowly (because they're underground). When rocks are intrusive, they are are non-vesicular (no air pockets) because the air has had the time to escape because of the slow cooling time period. Intrusive rocks are also coarse because crystals had the time to form in the rock during that longer cooling time.

Ps. extrusive igneous rocks form rapidly at Earth's surface and basically have tge opposite characteristics for the opposite reasons (ex: vesicular cause air had little time to escape)
