Answer:

Viscosity of Magmas

Viscosity is the resistance to flow (opposite of fluidity). Viscosity depends on primarily on the composition of the magma, and temperature. Higher SiO2 (silica) content magmas have higher viscosity than lower SiO2 content magmas (viscosity increases with increasing SiO2 concentration in the magma).

Examining sedimentary bedding (layers of rock or sediment) in a geologic study reveals disrupted layers formed 260, 820, 1,200,

Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

510

Explanation:

Recurrence interval involves the average estimated time or average spacing between events. It helps to estimate the time probability of an event taking place.

Calculating the recurrence interval we have:

$[(820 - 260) + (1200 - 820) + (2100 - 1200) + (2300 - 2100)] / 4$

$= (560 + 380 + 900 + 200) / 4$

$= 2040/4 = 510$

After the calculations, the recurrence interval of the earthquake that caused the disruption is 510 years.

Magma that squeezes into a horizontal crack is called a _____. Magma that squeezes into a vertical crack is called a _____.

adell [148]

<span>Magma that squeezes into a horizontal crack is called a sill. Magma that squeezes into a vertical crack is called a dike. Both are considered to be rock intrusions wherein magma seeps into the cracks of old sedimentary rock formations. The difference is that sills are tubular and horizontal in nature, while dikes are vertical in nature.</span>
