<u>Answer:</u>

The two main types of "glacial erosion" are "abrasion and plucking".

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • Out of the three most "significant types of glacial erosion", abrasion and plucking are the most important ones.
  • Erosion due to abrasion is said to have occurred when the ice from the glacier rakes against a rock and causes the rock to fragment down.
  • Glacial erosion due to plucking occurs when the ice from the glacier slides between the cracks in the rocks and cause the cracks to enlarge.
  • This action of the glacier ice eventually plucks off smaller pieces of rocks from a larger rock causing of the rock to erode.

10. What is partial melting compared to the complete melting of a rock? Why is it that rocks do not usually experience complete
Kamila [148]

Answer:

Partial melting occurs when only a portion of solid is melted. It is thus enriched in the chemical components of minerals with lower melting temperatures and the remaining unmelted portion of the rock is composed of minerals with highest melting temperatures. Partial melting preferentially enriches melts with incompatible elements.

Partially melted rock do not usually experience complete melting inside the Earth, due to their different chemical composition and their melting points.

It is thought that partial-melting processes play a major role in generating more-defined liquids from less-evolved ones, so that many basalts may be the result of partial melting in the upper mantle, and many granites may have derived partly or completely from the partial melting of continental crust (anatexis).With increasing temperature and pressure, the subducted oceanic crust (of basic composition) first undergoes metamorphism and then begins to melt or release watery fluids; this material rises into the overlying mantle, which may also begin to melt, giving rise to intermediate magma.

liberstina [14]

Answer:

D. The youngest volcano of the track occurs at one end of the track.

Explanation:

Hotspot tracks can be described as a process in which lines of islands, atolls, and seamounts are produced as plate continues to move away from the lava stream, it carries built up volcanoes with it; as these volcanoes cool and subside.

Examples are Hawaii, Yellowstone and Iceland hotspots.
