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.

Answer:

When it rains, rainwater soaks into the ground and puts pressure on the existing water in the ground, forcing some of it to move through natural cracks and openings in the rock until it reaches the surface and forms a(n) spring.An underground layer of permeable rock that is situated between two layers of impermeable rock so that water is trapped within it is called a(n) confined aquifer.

How is ozone produced?
OLga [1]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

<u>Ozone is produced by the </u><u>reaction of solar radiation with atmospheric oxygen</u>

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Ozone is a special form of Oxygen which is present in the atmosphere and it protects us from dangerous ultraviolet radiations which comes from the sun. The chemical formula of ozone is O3. This gas is produced naturally in the stratosphere when some highly energetic solar radiation come from the sun and strikes molecules of oxygen present in the atmosphere and cause the two oxygen atoms to split apart in a process called photolysis.
