Explain the physical processes that occur at constructive plate margins

Geography
1 answer:
inysia [295]3 years ago
3 0
AT A CONSTRUCTIVE PLATE MARGIN:
1) 2 plates move apart
2) Magma forces its way up to the surface
3) As it breaks the crust it causes earthquakes
4) The magma is very hot and fluid allowing it to flow a long way before cooling
5) This results in flat/broad shield volcanoes

So overall constructive plate margins result in both volcanoes and earthquakes.

Why are felsic lava flows so much more viscous than mafic ones?
ira [324]

Answer:

Magma are the hot molten materials that rises up towards the surface due to the increasing force from the depth. These magma when comes out to the surface then they are considered as lava.

The felsic lava are those in which the amount of silica and aluminium is very high. Due to this high silica content, the viscosity is high. The amount of silica present in magma or lava is directly proportional to the viscosity of magma or lava. The felsic lava due to its high viscosity flows sluggishly.

Whereas, the basic lava are those in which the silica content is significantly less. Iron (Fe) and Magnesium (Mg) is mostly present in this type of lava. As a result of which it flows easily without any difficulty.

This is the reason why felsic magma (lava) are more viscous compared to the mafic magma (lava).

Our astronomy study group buddies have once again found themselves in conflict while discussing Saturn, specifically, why the pl
andre [41]

Answer:

Student C.

Explanation:

The student C statement is correct about the disappearing of Saturn's rings. The main reason of disappearing of Saturn's rings is the sloping of the Saturn planet. Saturn has its own orbit in which he revolve around the sun, During its movement, the orbit takes it to a location where the planet seems to tip just enough so that the rings slowly seem to be disappearing. The view of student A is incorrect because the ring is not made of methane gas, it is made of large pieces of comets, asteroids or shattered moons. The view of Student B is also incorrect because there is not just the ice coated dust particle but also pieces of rocks which reflect the light not refracted.
