Answer:

1. Applying <u>the principle of original horizontality</u> -indicates that layers were repositioned from a flat-lying orientation.

2. Magma intrudes into layers of sedimentary rock and displaces them. We can deduce that the intruded magma that crystallizes is younger than the surrounding sedimentary layers by applying <u>the principle of crosscutting relationships</u>.

3. While visiting the Grand Canyon, you are amazed by the depth of layers of sedimentary rock before you, <u>the law of superposition</u>-- is evident here where progressively younger layers have formed over time and are stacked upon each other.

4. A fault cuts through layers of limestone, sandstone, and conglomerate. The surrounding layers must be <u>older</u> than the fault.

5. A mass of granite has inclusions of surrounding sandstone. The sandstone and surrounding layers show evidence of uplift over time. The granite must be <u>younger</u> than the sand deposits.

Explain which type of melting (flux, decompression, heat transfer) is responsible for mafic magmas in each of the following plat
EleoNora [17]

Solution :

The type of melting that is responsible for the mafic magmas for the following plate tectonic settings :

a). Mid - ocean ridges

At the mid oceanic ridges, the two plates diverges away and the new oceanic crust is formed by the effusion of the magma. The earth's interior is exposed as the two plates are moved away.

b). Continental rift :

A new oceanic crust is formed by the effusion of the magma and the two plates diverges away. Thus it causes the formation of the melt in the continental drift. As a result, the crustal thickness decreases.

c). Oceanic and continental volcanic arc :

The oceanic arc and the volcanic arc are the locations of the convergence. The denser plate of the arcs subducts under the less denser plates or the  lighter plates and it moves downwards into the mantle, which causes the increase in temperature of the surroundings.
