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.

How was america populated?
andrezito [222]

During the second half of the 20th Century, a consensus emerged among North American archaeologists that the Clovis people had been the first to reach the Americas, about 11,500 years ago. This is the way America got populated.

<h3>What are major changes occurred in America's population?</h3>

In 2006, America's population reached 300,000,000 inhabitants. According to the estimates of the US Census Bureau, at the end of 2019 the American population will exceed 330 million people. As can be seen, it is a population in constant increase, both for its positive birth rate and for the high rates of immigration that arrive in the country every year. With these numbers, a percentage of annual population growth of 0.62% is determined.

This amount of population makes the United States the third most populated country in the world, only behind China and India (which have 1.4 billion and 1.35 billion inhabitants, respectively).

Las plantas y animales terrestre tienen estructuras de sostén mas rígidas que los acuáticos, porque pasa esto?
Aliun [14]

Answer:

La presión del agua es una de las razones.

Explanation:

Una gran razón de esto es la presión presente en el agua. El agua es más pesada que el aire, por lo que a presiones más profundas se vuelve más difícil para ciertos animales funcionar. Para dar cuenta de esto, muchos organismos y plantas dentro del agua se desarrollan para no tener esqueletos, ciertos órganos y otras partes del cuerpo que limitan su existencia en el agua. Las medusas son un buen ejemplo de esto.
