Answer:

TRUE

Explanation:

The chemical composition of a magma affects viscosity in a complex way. The elements in a magma can be divided into three-dimensional atom lattice elements and non-three-dimensional atom lattice elements. Si4 + and to a lesser extent Al + 3 and Fe3 + are the main three-dimensional network forming elements, while Mg2 + and Ca + are the main non-three-dimensional network forming elements. In silicate minerals, four oxygen ions are bonded to a silica cation forming a tetrahedral configuration. The union of silica and oxygen tetrahedra is commonly called polymerization. The more silica (SiO2) there is in the composition of a magma, the more polymerized this magma is, consequently, also the more viscous. Studies have shown that rhyolitic (72-75% SiO2) magmas are more polymerized and viscous than dacitic (65-71% SiO2) and andesitic (53-64% SiO2) magmas, and these are more polymerized and viscous thanbasaltics  magmas. (45-52% SiO 2). Ultramafic magmas, for example Komatiitics, contain less silica (<45% SiO2) than basaltic magmas and are therefore less polymerized and viscous.

Explain why from a Creationist point of view there are marine fossils at the top of the Himalayan Mountains. Please answer the q
MArishka [77]

The marine fossils are found on top of the Himalays to show that rocks that were once formed on river beds were lifted to that level.

<h3>What are fossils?</h3>

These are the remains of living things and other organisms that once lived on the earth over a very long time ago.

Marine organisms on a rock shows that the animals were deposited on the rock in a place that was once a marine area.

Do commercial jet airliners fly through the ozone layer what affects my this wave?
jek_recluse [69]

Explanation:

Mostly the commercial flights fly at the altitude of 10 -12 km .

The range is in between the upper most part of the troposphere to the lower part of the stratosphere .

Since ,  

At this height ,

<u>The air is dense enough to generate the sufficient lift . </u>

Since , the lift is generated due to the difference in the pressure of air , between the top and the bottom of the wing .

As we go beyond 15 km , where the ozone layer is present , the pressure of sir reduces at this altitude ,  

And , the plane are not able to fly at this , as ,  

the lift is not generated , due to reduced air pressure .
