Question

The diagram below shows a subduction zone where oceanic crust is sinking into the mantle underneath continental crust as two

Answer 1

Metal ores

Explanation:

in an area where subduction has occurred in times past, metal ores are likely to be found.

Metallic ores find subduction zone regions very favorable to crystallize out of a magma.

• Ores have different modes of formation.
• Typically, they are found in hydrothermal vents and black smokers of igneous intrusives.
• These are igneous terrains where metallic sulfides and other minerals crystallize out of magmatic body.
• Metals in magma usually have large sizes and do not partition easily in the melt.

At a subduction zone, partial melting of the subducting plate forces magma into nearby country rock as an intrusive and to the ocean floor where they form black smokers.
