T object]user: where do rocks melt?

Geography
1 answer:
Nutka1998 [239]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

c. at depths of about 50 to 200 km below earth's surface

Explanation:

Rocks begins to melt when sufficient temperature and pressure is applied on them.

To attain these conditions of temperature and pressure, a rock must be taken deep into the earth. With depth, the geothermal gradient of the earth increases. The geothermal gradient determines the temperature conditions a rock might exposed to deep within the crust. Rocks usually melt below the crustal levels and at the mantle.

The crust runs from about 0-100km in depth and the mantle takes off from there. We expect melting to fall beyond this region.

Where in the oceans would the layer of sediment covering the seafloor generally be thinnest?
Butoxors [25]

Answer:

Explanation:

Sediments are typically laid down in layers, or strata, usually in a body of water. On the seafloor, sediments are thinnest near spreading centers (young seafloor) and thicker away from the ridge, where the seafloor is older and has more time to accumulate. Sediments are also much thickest near continents.
