What determines the type of igneous rock that forms from magma? a. The heat and pressure the magma is exposed to b. Whether the

OLEGan [10]

Answer:

c. Magma composition and cooling rate.

Explanation:

A rock cycle can be defined as a concept used to describe the continuous process that leads to a rock's creation, formation, transformation from one form to another, destruction and reformation over a specific period of time. The natural phenomenons that influences the rock cycle are weathering, plate tectonic activity, erosion, etc.

Basically, the three (3) main types of rocks are; metamorphic rock, sedimentary rock and igneous rock.

All igneous rocks are produced from magma (lava) and formed at the Earth’s surface, thereby, causing them to have a coarse texture and dark colors.

Generally, the cooling and solidification of magma (lava) leads to the formation of an igneous rock, either when the melted rock is still inside the continental crust of the Earth or at volcanoes on the Earth's surface.

Hence, magma composition and cooling rate determines the type of igneous rock that forms from magma. Some examples of an igneous rock are granite, obsidian, tuff, basalt, rhyolite, andesite, pegmatite, dacite, scoria, pumice, etc.

Two species of warblers colonize the same island habitat. Both species nest in similar locations and eat the same type of prey.

GuDViN [60]

Answer:

D. Be eliminated

Explanation:

Competition in biology is the process of interaction between two or more organisms, which are using the same resources e.g food, space, mate or occupying the same ecological niche. Competition between organisms often result in one or bother organisms getting harmed due to the strive for a limited resource.

Hence, in the case of two warblers occupying the same habitat and feeding on the same prey, competition is inevitable between these two species of organism. Therefore, the competition will eventually cause one of the species to be eliminated or killed.

1. Which of the following events is not a source of genetic variation in eukaryotic organisms?

Lunna [17]

Answer:

Mitosis

Explanation:

Mitosis is not a source of genetic mutation because it take place mostly in the somatic cells. This is because it does not lead to the production of gametes . In mitosis, the parent cells divide into two daughter cells and each daughter cells are genetically identical to the parent cell because they carry the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell. There is no genetic variation in this.
