The primary reason magma forms at subduction zones is that the subducting plate carries a cover of sediments, water, and hydrate

d minerals down with it, which lowers the temperature required for the adjacent overlying mantle lithospheric rock to melt.True / False.

Answer:

the answer correct is TRUE

Explanation:

Magmas do not form everywhere below the Earth's surface. This is evident by looking at the worldwide distribution of volcanoes. Therefore, magmas must require special circumstances to form. Before talking about how and where magmas form, we first look at Earth's inner structure

Answer:

True

Explanation:

The primary reason magma forms at subduction zones is that the subducting plate carries a cover of sediments, water, and hydrated minerals down with it, which lowers the temperature required for the adjacent overlying mantle lithospheric rock to melt.True

Subduction is a geological process that takes place at convergent boundaries of tectonic plates,this zones are the second most important environment on Earth for volcanic eruptions

Magma is produced in the subduction zone as a result of the  subducting plate carrying a cover of sediments, water, and hydrated minerals down with it, which lowers the temperature required for the adjacent overlying mantle lithospheric rock to melt. Due to the heat caused by it rubbing against the other plate as well as the natural heat of the mantle in the earth crust, the plate melts and turns into magma, also the melting of peridotite in the presence of water results in the generation of magma,this addition of fluids lowers the melting point of the mantle.

magmas in subduction zone volcanoes are often explosive, because they arrive at the surface as very sticky and gas rich

Most of the land in Algeria, Libya, and Egypt is in the Sahara desert. Which best
julsineya [31]

Answer:

Correct answer is 4. Under 2.5 people per sq. mi. (VERY low density)

Explanation:

Option four is the correct because areas such as Sahara have a low density and are not populated. The conditions of living are not allowing people in these type of areas to create some larger permanent settlements. The similar case is for example in Australia where 3/4 is covered with desert, which is practically uninhabited. Or we can also created a parallel with Greenland which also has a low density due to climate factor.

Continued movement of the continental crust on the west side of the San Andreas fault could result in which of the following fea
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

Option (C)

Explanation:

San Andreas is a prominent example of a transform fault, in which the plates namely the Pacific Plate and the North American plate slide past each other. The movement of the associated plates in this fault is in the right lateral, strike-slip. With the continuous and rapid movement of both the plates in its respective direction, the west side of the fault would get detached from the fault zone and lead to the formation of an island. The movement of the plates along this fault is responsible for the occurrence of shallow focus tremendous earthquakes.

Thus, the correct answer is option (C).
