Geography

The answer is friction. Whenever anything decides to enter our atmosphere, they enter pretty fast, faster than they were in space thanks to gravity. But since they go really fast, they create friction with the gases. Those gases may be flammable and they light up. Then you see that it seems like the meteorite is burning, but actually it's the atmospheric gases around it.

Why do masses of partially melted rock or magma rise or intrude the surrounding rocks?
valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

Explained

Explanation:

The melted magma or partially melted rock rise or intrude the surrounding rocks because of the buoyancy. The partially melted rocks or magma due their high temperature become less dense than the surrounding rocks and rise up. And then these heated rock or magma react with surrounding rocks which in turn increases the pressure in the magma chamber. This intermixing of magma with surrounding rocks forms another type of rocks called igneous rocks.
