There a lot of possible answers for this question. As shown in the image, we can infer one of the following characteristics that could be used to determine if an intrusive igneous rock has a mafic composition:

<span>- color/light color/dark color
- density/low density/high density
- mineral composition
- rich in Al, Si, or rich in Fe, Mg
- presence/absence of quartz/potassium feldspar/pyroxene/olivine</span>

How does gravity have an affect on our atmosphere?
bulgar [2K]

-- Gravity causes forces of attraction between masses.

-- Every molecule of every component of our atmosphere has mass.

-- Gravity causes forces of attraction between the molecules of the
atmosphere, which may largely be disregarded, but more importantly
between the molecules of atmosphere and the Earth. 

In other words, gravity has the effect of keeping the atmosphere in place
around the Earth.  Without gravity, there would be no atmosphere. 

(There would be no Earth either, but that's another story.)

Which of the following best describes a fault? a. A giant gap or canyon at the Earth's surface. b. A cave or large hole hidden u
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

The correct answer is E. A fault is best described as fractured rock that has been displaced.

Explanation:

Transforming faults are lithospheric plate limits where there is neither subduction nor creation of lithosphere. They are located on the edge of tectonic plates and cut the ridges perpendicularly. The borders near this type of fault are geologically active (earthquakes, volcanoes, etc.).

The most famous transforming fault is that of San Andreas. It is in fact a set of transforming faults which ensures the sliding of the Pacific plate against the North American plate.

Base your answer on the passage below and on your knowledge of Earth science.Island ArcsIsland arcs are long, curved chains of o
murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

  • "Island ArcsIsland arcs are long, curved chains of oceanic islands associated with seismic activity and mountain-building processes at certain plate boundaries. They occur where oceanic tectonic plates collide. Along one side of these island arcs, there is usually a long, narrow deep-sea trench.At island arcs, the denser plate is subducted and is forced into the partially molten mantle under the less dense plate. The islands are composed of the extrusive igneous rocks basalt and andesite. The basalt originates most likely from the plastic mantle. The andesite originates most likely from the melting of parts of the descending plate and sediments that had accumulated on its surface.Which list identifies minerals present in andesite from the greatest percentage by volume to the least percentage by volume? "  
  • As the different situations and events gave rise to the seven different tectonic plates which comprises the over all structure of the planet, as there are a number of geological sites that took there shape because of the movement of the different planetary regions, layers, or the components which makes up the deep down trenches and the islands along with the different volcanic hotspots.
  • Mostly the subduction region is only due the movement or the sliding of the different tectonic plates which gives rise to a way different  catastrophic events like the creation of the seismic way may generate  the earth quakes inside the different regions.      
  • Along, with that the different climates across the globe are also due the difference in such geological sites.
