Movement occurs along fractures in rocks when <u>stress overcomes the strength of the rocks involved.</u>

Explanation:

The fracture that occurs in rocks is called a fault. The movement is due to more stress on the rocks that are of lesser strength.

Rocks are elastic in nature. Faults occur because of stress that builds up, causing deformations. When stress increases eventually, it overcomes the strength of the rocks and energy releases, resulting in earthquakes.

Tsunami occurs in oceans when rock bed shift underneath, causing huge waves.

Due to sudden breaks on the rocks under the earth, an explosion occurs that produces energy waves called the Seismic waves.

If all silicate mineras melted at exactly the same temperature, would magmas of different compositions even exist? How is partia
omeli [17]

Answer:1. Yes, there are magma of different composition in existence. silicate mineral become molten at the same temperature of 1200 degree centigrade in igneous rock formation and this does not stop the composition of magma which are of three types basalic, andesitic and rhyolitic each of them have different composition ranging between iron, magnesium and calcium.

2. Partial melting is the reason why we have different forms of rock, this is because the mantle is composed of different minerals, these minerals doesn't melt uniformly, a mineral with low melting point will turn to liquid while the one with high melting point will turn to solid crystals. As the magma melts and flow slowly before it cools into solid rock it undergoes some physical and chemical changes which causes differences in the rock formed.

3. The last question depends on ever individual's location, where i am i can easily go and see granite at a mining site that deals with construction rocks which is an example of igneous rock.
