Solution :

The type of melting that is responsible for the mafic magmas for the following plate tectonic settings :

a). Mid - ocean ridges

At the mid oceanic ridges, the two plates diverges away and the new oceanic crust is formed by the effusion of the magma. The earth's interior is exposed as the two plates are moved away.

b). Continental rift :

A new oceanic crust is formed by the effusion of the magma and the two plates diverges away. Thus it causes the formation of the melt in the continental drift. As a result, the crustal thickness decreases.

c). Oceanic and continental volcanic arc :

The oceanic arc and the volcanic arc are the locations of the convergence. The denser plate of the arcs subducts under the less denser plates or the  lighter plates and it moves downwards into the mantle, which causes the increase in temperature of the surroundings.

Tems11 [23]

Answer:

Paleozoic

Explanation:

The Paleozoic Era is a geologic era that lasted from 541 to 251.902 million years ago. This is divided into six geologic periods: the Cambrian, Ordovician, Silurian, Devonian, Carboniferous, and Permian. The swamps that were turned into coal over time grew during the Carboniferous period, which expands from 358.9 million years ago to 298.9 million years ago. The period is well-known because many coal beds were formed during that time period. During the Carboniferous, terrestrial animals were well-established. It ended with a minor extinction event known as the Carboniferous rainforest collapse.

5. In sub-Saharan Africa and Southeast Asia, external contacts and exchange are thought to have had a role in the rise of early
Rudiy27

External contact and intercultural exchange benefitted early civilizations. This is true of both the civilizations of sub-Saharan Africa and those of Southeast Asia.

In the case of Sub-Saharan Africa, one such civilization was that of the Kingdom of Kush. This was established around 1070 BCE. Kush developed in a region known as Nubia, in the Sudanese and southern Egyptian Nile Valley. Much of the success of the Kingdom of Kush came from its interactions with Egypt. Kush was an important producer of gold and ivory, and by trading with Egypt, it achieved great wealth. It also acquired some of the traditions of Egypt, such as the building of pyramids and mummification.

Southeast Asian civilizations also benefitted from trade in their early years, particularly maritime trade. The Austronesian people built the first ocean-going ships. They trade with areas such as Southern India and Sri Lanka. This also connected these people with the cultures of India and China. This trade led to a rise in technological knowledge and traditions. Some of the items that were exchanged in this trade were catamarans, outrigger boats, sewn-plank boats, coconuts, sandalwood, bananas, and sugarcane.
