Geography

Feliz [49]3 years ago

Answer:

b) Magma B

Explanation:

The magma that forms a basalt plateau or a shield volcano is a mafic (basaltic) magma. This magma is low in viscosity, making it very liquid, so when there's an eruption there's lava flows coming down the slopes like rivers, moving relatively fast. This type of magma has low content of silica, which is the reason why it is low in viscosity. The low viscosity also contributes to very small amount of gases in the magma, as the gases can escape from it very easily so they do not come in a situation to be trapped. The low amount of gases means that the volcanoes with this type of magma have calm eruptions, and explosive eruptions are either nonexistent, or extremely rare.

What are the 2 subcategories of Igneous Rocks, and how do they look different from each other?
cluponka [151]

Answer:

The two subcategories of igneous rocks are intrusive and extrusive igneous rocks.

Explanation:

The igneous rocks are the rocks that form from cooling magma and lava. They are the base for the formation of the two other types of rocks. The igneous rocks are divided into two subcategories, intrusive and extrusive.

The intrusive igneous rocks are the ones that form from magma that didn't manage to come out on the surface but gradually cooled off into the crust. The extrusive igneous rocks are the ones that have formed from lava that cooled off and that has come out on the surface or very close to the surface.

Because the extrusive and intrusive rocks take different times to form because of the difference in temperature and pressure on the surface and deep into the crust, they have differences in their appearance. The most noticeable difference is that the intrusive igneous rocks have coarse grains, thus large and well-defined ones, while the extrusive ones have fine grains, thus very small and almost unnoticeable.
