<h2>Right answer: the amount of silica minerals in granite </h2>

The granite is a plutonic igneous rock, this means it was formed from a deep slow cooling in large masses of magma.

This rock is essentially composed of silica in high quantities, alumina, sodium and potassium oxides, quartz, alkali feldspar, plagioclase and mica.

There are granites of different colors, depending on their chemical composition, although they are generally clear due to their high amount of silica.

Which layer of the Earth is composed of iron and nickel, and has two main parts called the outer ___________ and the inner _____

Y_Kistochka [10]

The Crust and Lithosphere (which are almost synonymous) are not typically divided into two distinctive layers, so we can reject them.

The correct answer is is the core: (b). The inner core is solid and it's made of iron and nickel. The outer layer is liquid and this is the reason for the differentiation of the two parts.

Which of the following sites has volcanism related to a hot spot or divergent margin? A is on an island arc, B is in the Andes,

WITCHER [35]

Question Options:

A. A and B

B. B and C

C. C and D

D. A and C

E. B and D

Answer: C and D. C is near Hawaii, D is along a mid-ocean ridge

Hotspot in geology is the surface manifestation of a plume that rises from deep in the celestial body's mantle.

Divergent margins also known as rift zones, shield volcanoes tend to form as two oceanic plates pull slowly apart and magma effuses upward through the gap.

The sites based on history that has volcanism related to a hot spot or divergent margin are Hawaii and the mid-ocean ridge. Hawaiian volcanoes within the Pacific Plate are caused by anomalous volcanism.
