Why does magma rise from depth to the surface of the earth?

Physics

Viefleur [7K]3 years ago

Answer

Magma is less dense compared to the surrounding rock.

the overlying rock creates pressure which forces the magma to be directed upward.

Explanation:

at high temperatures the magma is liquid form with the high energy which causes the formation of bonds and the pressure build up creates the increase  channeling of the liquid.as the temperature decreases the magma moves into the surface

Explanation:

Any rock will melt once it reaches a high enough temperature. This liquid rock is known as magma when it is beneath the crust of the Earth. If it bubbles to the surface and pushes its way out, it is known as lava. This happens most often in a volcano.

Magma rising from the depth occurs when hot mantle rock rises to shallower depths in the Earth because it is less dense than surrounding rock and because the weight of the overlying rock creates pressure that squeezes magma upward.

What is dark energy? How is dark energy related to the theory of the multiverse?
olga55 [171]

Answer:

In the 1980s, astronomers turned to multiverse theory to explain the “luckily small” amount of dark energy in our universe. According to cosmologist's theories, this small amount of dark energy appeared to enable our universe to host life, while most universes in the multiverse couldn't.

A 34-kg child on an 18-kg swing set swings back and forth through small angles. If the length of the very light supporting cable
kompoz [17]

Answer:

4.44s

Explanation:

A 34-kg child on an 18-kg swing set swings back and forth through small angles. If the length of the very light supporting cables for the swing is 4.9 m, how long does it take for each complete back-and-forth swing? Assume that the child and swing set are very small compared to the length of the cables

since the mass of the child and that of the swing is negligible, the masses wont be involved in the calculation

T=2π√L/g

g=acceleration due to gravity which is 9.81m/s2

the length of the supporting cable is 4.9m

T the period

period is the time required to make a complete oscillation

T=2*π√4.9/9.81

T=2*π*0.706

T=4.44s

4.44s

It's nighttime, and you ve dropped your goggles into a 3.2-m-deep swimming pool. If you hold a laser pointer 0.90 m above the ed
yanalaym [24]

Answer:

The distance of the goggle from the edge is 5.30 m

Explanation:

Given:

The depth of pool (d) = 3.2 m

let 'i' be the angle of incidence

thus,

i = tan^{-1}(\frac{2.2}{0.90})

i = 67.75°

Now, Using snell's law, we have,

n₁ × sin(i) = n₂ × 2 × sin(r)

where,

r is the angle of refraction

n₁ is the refractive index of medium 1 = 1 for air

n₂ is the refractive index of medium 1 = 1.33 for water

now,

1 × sin 67.75° = 1.33 × sin(r)

or

r = 44.09°

Now,  

the distance of googles = 2.2 + d×tan(r)  = 2.2 + (3.2 × tan(44.09°) = 5.30 m

Hence, <u>the distance of the goggle from the edge is 5.30 m</u>
