The idea of time zones is to have a particular time of day have the same meaning worldwide. For example, noon will be the point in time when the sun is the highest, if you compare from exactly on one line of a longitude line that is used to determine the time zone (actual time zone lines change based on settlements and politics, so use the longitude line it is based on). 

<span>The sun rises and sets based on the earth's rotation on its axis. Time zones divide the earth into 24 areas that will be rotated into. Latitude lines have nothing to do with the time of day or the earth's rotation--they tell you where something is north and south rather than east and west.</span>

Explain which type of melting (flux, decompression, heat transfer) is responsible for mafic magmas in each of the following plat
EleoNora [17]

Solution :

The type of melting that is responsible for the mafic magmas for the following plate tectonic settings :

a). Mid - ocean ridges

At the mid oceanic ridges, the two plates diverges away and the new oceanic crust is formed by the effusion of the magma. The earth's interior is exposed as the two plates are moved away.

b). Continental rift :

A new oceanic crust is formed by the effusion of the magma and the two plates diverges away. Thus it causes the formation of the melt in the continental drift. As a result, the crustal thickness decreases.

c). Oceanic and continental volcanic arc :

The oceanic arc and the volcanic arc are the locations of the convergence. The denser plate of the arcs subducts under the less denser plates or the  lighter plates and it moves downwards into the mantle, which causes the increase in temperature of the surroundings.
