Geography

Answer:

b. crystallization above ground and crystallization below ground

Explanation:

The magma undergoes transition when it moves from the mantle layer toward the lithosphere. The reason for this is that the pressure and temperature drastically change. With other words, the magma starts to cool off as it comes toward the surface of the Earth. As the magma cools off it starts to crystallize, resulting in the formation of igneous rocks. When the magma comes out on the surface, known as lava in those cases, it cools of very quickly because the temperature and pressure are much lower. Because the cooling off occurs very quickly, the magma crystallizes quickly, so the crystals are small, and it forms extrusive igneous rocks. When the magma cools off underground, but still relatively close to the surface, the temperature and pressure are slightly bigger than those on the surface. Because of this, the magma cools off slower, thus it crystallizes slower. This results in the formation of larger crystals, and intrusive igneous rocks.

mote1985 [20]

Answer:

<u>Wegener gave many evidence to the theory of plate tectonics another piece of evidence was the finding of fossils of reptiles in oceans and glossiperious fauna and the similarity of glaciers in all continents</u>

Explanation:

  • Alfred Wegener is supposed to believe that the supercontinent named Pangaea consisting of northern continents and the southern continent i.e Gondwanaland consisting of southern continents were once the same.
  • Thus he gave evidence in the shape of puzzle-like fit of the continents as similarity of rocks found in the continent's of Africa and South America, as they were one earlier.  
  • Further, he gave the supporting pieces of evidence as the glacier landmasses distributed were the same part earlier drifted away from the larger continent of Greenland.
  • The supporting evidence the put forth was the polar wandering forces that he called the flight from poles and drift under the impact of moons gravity and another evidence was the thin sheets or plate moved away due to the wind.

Plutons. It is 100% correct.

here is the definition of a pluton to prove my point:

<span>In geology, a pluton is a body of intrusive igneous rock, called a plutonic rock.  It is crystallized from magma slowly cooling below the surface of the Earth. </span>
