I got this from NationalGeographic.org

"Decompression melting involves the upward movement of Earth's mosty-solid mantle..."The rifting movement causes the buoyant magma below to rise and fill the space of the lower pressure. The rock then cools into new crust."
I hope this helps you!!!:)

#1 a) Explain the theory of Plate Tectonics.
Burka [1]

Answer and explanation:

a) The plate tectonics is a theory that suggests that Earth's outer shell is divided into several plates that glide over the mantle (rocky inner layer above the core), there are seven major plates that make up 94% of the Earth's surface and many smaller plates making up the other 6% (I annexed a map of those tectonic plates). The tectonic plates are in motion (presumably since the beginning of time), the movement of the plates creates three types of tectonic boundaries:<em> convergent </em>(plates move into one another); <em>divergent </em>(plates move apart); and <em>transform</em> (plates move sideways in relation to each other).

b)The Mid-Atlantic Ridge (MAR) is a divergent tectonic plate or constructive plate boundary located along the floor of the Atlantic Ocean. <em>The MAR developed as a consequence of the divergent motion between the Eurasian and North American, and African and South American Plates</em>

c) In areas where the plates come together, sometimes volcanoes will form, they can also form in the middle of a plate, in places called "hot spots" where magma rises upward until it erupts on the seafloor. The Hawaiian Islands<em> were formed by such a hot spot occurring in the middle of the Pacific Plate.</em>

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!
