The appropriate answer is B. Chains of volcanoes along ocean coastlines. The theory of plate tectonics states that the earth's crust is divided into plates that float on the semi-molten mantle below. Plates can converge, diverge or slide past each other. Chains of volcanoes along coastlines are evidence of plates converging with one plate subducting beneath the other. The subducting plate will melt producing magma which is lighter than surrounding rock and so will force its way through cracks and fissures in the surface. Once magma reaches the earth's surface, volcanoes are formed.

bulgar [2K]

The correct answer is - A) extrusive.

The extrusive igneous rocks, and the type of igneous rocks that are forming on the surface or very close to the surface. This type of igneous rocks are forming very quickly because the magma is cooling down very quickly, thus giving them some specific characteristics.

These types of rocks can be easily distinguished from the intrusive rocks, the extrusive ones, because of the quick formation, have very small crystals, almost unnoticeable, while the intrusive ones, because they have much bigger period of formation, have nicely formed, easily noticeable, big crystals.

Explain how scientists use geological time to determine the age of landforms.
Vika [28.1K]
To determine the relative age of different rocks, geologists start with the assumption that unless something has happened, in a sequence of sedimentary rock layers, the newer rock layers will be on top of older ones. This is called the Rule of Superposition. ... With absolute age dating, you get a real age in actual years
