Answer:

(b) Decompression melting , flux melting

Explanation:

Decompression melting : The procedure of decompression melting includes the upward development of the earth mantle to a zone of lower pressure. The decrease in overlying weight empowers the stone to melt, prompting magma arrangement. Magma is shaped by the melting of the earth mantle.

Flux melting :I n molten petrology and volcano logy, flux melting  happens when water and other unstable segments are added to hot strong shake. In designing and metallurgy, transition is a substance, for example, salt, that creates a low dissolving point blend with a metal oxide.

Similarly, the expansion of water and other unstable mixes to rocks made out of silicate minerals brings down the softening temperature of those stones.

Answer:

The correct answer is option b. Decompression melting; flux melting.

Explanation:

The Decompression melting process takes place in mid-ocean ridges.

What happens here is that <u>two plates are separated, and the space between them is filled with hot rock</u> that emerges from below. If this rock rises quickly before it can cool, <u>it melts as the pressure drops as the rock approaches the surface. </u>

Flux melting occurs when a <u>solid rock is hot and receives water or other volatile components.</u> This process is found in the subduction zones, where the rock of the upper mantle is melted by the addition of these materials that come from the descending plate.

brooklyn and demetrius took a total of 115 photos at the science museum demetrius took 4 more photos than brooklinn how many did
koban [17]

Answer:

Demetrius took 61.5 ≈ 62 photos

Explanation:

total photos taken = 115

if both took an equal number of photos

then Brooklyn = 50% of 115

       Demetrius =  50% of 115

4 photos out of 115 will be = 4/115 * 100% = 0.0347 * 100 = 3.48 %

If Demetrius took 4 more photos then Demetrius will be taking = 50% + 3.48%

                                                                                                         = 53.48%              

If Brooklyn took 4 less photos then Brooklyn will be taking = 50% - 3.48%

                                                                                                  = 46.52%

therefore Demetrius took = 53.48 % of 115

                                           = 61.5 ≈ 62

hot deserts often have reliable sunshine, ancient cities and ruins and beautiful landscapes. what industry has the opportunity t
Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

The industry that can develop in these areas is the tourism industry.

Explanation:

The hot deserts are often seen as places that have no potential for the development of industry, but this is not really the case if what they offer is utilized properly. In numerous hot deserts around the world, there are well preserved ancient cities and ruins, and those are very attractive to the people. Also, something that is often seen as a disadvantage in the hot deserts, the almost constant sunshine all year round, is actually an advantage because the weather conditions are almost always stable.

The tourism industry can develop very well in such areas if the promotion and tours are well organized it can be of big importance for the development of the economy. Such places are the Nile River valley in Egypt, Tigris and Euphrates river valleys in Iraq, parts of the coastline of Peru, and many others. Egypt is the only one that has really managed to profit from this and has a well-developed tourism industry. Peru still mostly focuses its tourism on the Inca legacy, though it gradually tries to promote the other ancient remains, while Iraq is in a terrible socio-economic and political situation so it cannot really do anything in this in the near future.
