1- The terrestrial lithosphere is composed almost of 80% by igneous rocks, they are also known as magmatic rocks and are formed at high temperatures due to magma solidification, they come from the superior mantle and terrestrial coast. Its texture is super resistant with significant hardness to obtain minerals and other derived materials. They can be divided into extrusive and intrusive.

2- Through experiments, Bowen has defined a sequence of mineral formation when a magma begins to cool. There are two types of magmatic differentiation defined by Bowen, the continuous series and the discontinuous series. In the continuous series the internal structure of the magma is not altered and all minerals have iron and magnesium, they are formed: aluminum, silica and sodium and calcium.

In the discontinuous series decreasing the temperature reacts the previously formed mineral with the existing liquid, and thus a new mineral with different internal structure and composition is formed. They are formed: olivine, pyroxena, amphibole and biotite.

How are valleys and plains alike

Temka [501]

Plains occur as lowlands along the bottoms of valleys or on the doorsteps of mountains, as coastal plains, and as plateaus or uplands. In a valley, a plain is enclosed on two sides but in other cases a plain may be delineated by a complete or partial ring of hills, by mountains or cliffs.

A(n) ________ consists of sand and gravel deposited by ephemeral distributary channels that occur where a gully or a canyon disc

Serhud [2]

Alluvial fan could be the answer. Alluvial fans are cone shaped deposits of sedimentary particles. The particles can be sand. silt, gravel or clay. These land-forms are formed at the mouth of canyons or in valleys where ephemeral streams can occasionally transport material to the mouth of the canyons. An ephemeral stream is one that is created after a shower of rain or other form of precipitation; they are not permanent streams.
