3 0

Answer:

The correct option is: <u>d. Volatiles released from minerals in the subducting plate lower the melting temperature of hot mantle rocks above them.</u>

Explanation:

<u>Magma </u>is the hot molten or semi-molten natural liquid, present under the surface of the Earth.

The subducting basalt and sediment contains a large amount of surface water and also in the form of <u>hydrated minerals</u> and <u>volatiles.</u>

The subduction of the plate deep into the earth results in greater pressures and temperatures. This causes the slab to release the water present into the overlying mantle wedge. This release of water, lowers the<u> melting temperature of the mantle rock</u> such that it melts. This results in t<u>he generation of magma.</u>

Explosive eruptions tend to build up? composite volcanoes. many subsequent lava flows. plateau basalts. shield-shaped volcanoes.
castortr0y [4]

Explosive eruptions tend to build up composite volcanoes.

A composite volcano evolved over tens of thousands of years as a result of several eruptions. The composite volcano is built up through eruptions, layer by layer, until it reaches heights of thousands of meters. Lava may have formed some layers, while ash, rock, and pyroclastic flows may have formed others. A composite volcano can also accumulate significant amounts of thick magma, which can clog up inside the volcano and force it to erupt violently.

  Composite Volcano are fueled by a conduit system that accesses a magma reserve deep within the Earth. This magma can erupt either from a sizable core crater at the volcano's summit or from a number of vents scattered throughout the flanks of the composite volcano.

What are some of the problems with Davis's geomorphic cycle theory?
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

The davis's geomorphic cyclic theory raised some of the problems that the davis's concept of the upliftment creates problem so that is why it is unacceptable as it basically described the rapid change in the rate of the upliftment in the very short duration.

And the concept of the correlation in the upliftment and erosion are erroneous as, according to the concept no erosion occurred unless the upliftment process are completed.
