Why do masses of partially melted rock or magma rise or intrude the surrounding rocks?

Geography
1 answer:
valentinak56 [21]3 years ago
6 0

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.

What is an example of an open system
creativ13 [48]
Hello! Ahh okay let’s see... I’ve studied this before.

So an example of an open system can be something like living organism such as a human being. We actively interact with our environment, which results in changes to both the environment and us. For example... we eat to acquire energy.
I hope this helps, I tried to give a pretty detailed example. Have a great night!
