Answer:

An alluvial fan is a <u>triangle-shaped </u> mass of sediment deposited at the base of a mountain front due to an abrupt change in stream, but they are similar to delta in shape.

Explanation:

An alluvial fan is a triangle-shaped deposit of gravel, sand, and even smaller pieces of sediment called alluvium, such as silt. Alluvial fans are the result of running water through the mountains, hills, and canyons.

Deltas are similar to alluvial fans in shape, but the environment where they are deposited is different, as sediments that form deltas are transported in continuous flowing water and deposited at the mouths of streams and rivers as they finish their way into lakes or oceans.

The convection zone, because it shows how energy moves in a convection current

The sun can be divided into 3 major layers;

  1. The core
  2. Radiative zone
  3. Convection zone

Explanation:

The sun is a large sphere with diameter of approximately 1,391,000 km, about 109 times that of the earth. The core of the sun is where the fusion occurs that releases the enormous amount of energy. The core is therefore hotter than the outer shells (with exception of the corona that is hotter than the earth's surface). The convective zone is where the sun churns due to convection currents. The cooler matter on the surface always sinks towards the core, as the hotter matter from below rises to the surface. This is akin to the convection currents in the mantle of the earth.

6. Infer the silica content of magma derived from partial melting of an
umka2103 [35]

Answer:

igneous rock, would be lower

Explanation:

  • As the composition of the magma depends on the ricks form which it was formed along with the condition of the melting, has a high level of iron, magnesium, and calcium, and is likely to be determined by the oxygen and the silicon.
  • And virtually all the igneous rocks are derived for the magmas that are caused by the partial melting of the original rocks, either in the upper mantle o the crust.  
  • <u>The main mechanism, that meets the cracks in the zone is called the decomposition melting or the flux melting as the ricks are being moved to the surface. Thus magma continues to cool and the crystals start to form.</u>
