What are three main components of magma

Geography
1 answer:
Tpy6a [65]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

- Liquid (molten metals/rocks)

- Silica

- Gasses

Explanation:

The magma is a product of the mantle layer. The temperatures in this layer are very high, and the pressure is also much higher than on the surface. This leads to creating a melt out of the rocks/metals in it, thus creating a thick liquid out of them. Apart from the liquid of molten rocks/metals, a major component of any magma is the silica, which actually determines its behavior ones it reaches the surface of the Earth. The third important component of the magma are the gasses. The gasses are forming bubbles in the magma, and depending on the amount of silica, they can remain trapped and than cause explosions on the surface, or they can escape the magma easily if the magma is not highly viscous.

Why do hurricanes spin in opposite directions?
zheka24 [161]

Answer:

This is how the hurricanes are created: In the Northern Hemisphere, winds moving north will move to the east, and winds that are moving south are diverted westward. In the Southern Hemisphere, winds blowing toward the equator will move eastward, and winds traveling in the opposite direction will curve west.

This process results in winds colliding and swirling clockwise in the south, and counterclockwise in the north.
