The correct answer is - Littoral.

The lakes can simply be divided into three zones, littoral, benthic, and limnetic zone.

The littoral zone is the one that is resembling the coastal zones of the oceans. It is the zone that is shallow, the closest to the shore, and where the sunlight can penetrate so that the plants are able to perform photosynthesis.

Like the oceanic coastal zones, the littoral zone of the lakes is either flattened, or has a very gradual fall.

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is the third option. It is the Littoral zone that is similar to the coastal zone of the ocean. It is a near shore area where sunlight penetrates all the way to the sediment and allows aquatic plants to grow.

When magma solidifies underground, the resulting landform is classified as _______.

galina1969 [7]

Answer:

1. When magma solidifies underground, the resulting landform is classified as Intrusive rocks.

2. Lava cooling on the surface of the earth forms Extrusive igneous rocks features.

3. A very large mineral is more likely to be found in Igneous rock.

4. Lava is magma that forms in long, horizontal shafts in the earth’s crust.

5. Lava with high basalt content forms high ferromagnetism through multiple eruptions.

Explanation:

1. Intrusive rock is formed when magma penetrates existing rock, crystallizes and solidifies underground to form intrusions. Intrusive rock forms within Earth's crust from the crystallization of magma.

2. Extrusive igneous rocks form when magma reaches the Earth's surface of a volcano and cools quickly. Most extrusive rocks have small crystals.

3. Igneous rock or magmatic rock, is one of the 3 main rock types. The other 2 are called sedimentary and metamorphic. Igneous rock is formed through the cooling and solidification of magma or lava.

4. Lava is molten rock generated by geothermal energy and expelled through fractures in planetary crust or in an eruption, usually at temperatures from 1.292 to 2.192 °F.

5. Mafic or basaltic lavas are best known by their high ferromagnesian content.

Eruptions associated with basaltic lava usually are not explosive due to the low silica and gas content.

Because of the low viscosity, basaltic lava flows spread out, forming extensive layers. They may build up to form a large shield volcano.
