What processes found at a divergent boundary will help form the following rocks? ​

Biology
1 answer:
Morgarella [4.7K]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

B

Explanation:

What is a divergent boundary:

In plate tectonics, a divergent boundary is a linear feature that exists between 2 tectonic plates <u>moving away</u> from each other.

They can produce rifts, which become rift valleys.

Divergent boundaries also form <u>volcanic islands</u>, which occur when the plates move apart to produce gaps that magma rises to fill.

<u>Sedimentary rocks</u> form due to <u>deposition, and accumulation</u>

<u>Metamorphic rocks</u> form in a <u>transformation</u> of existing rock to new rock in a process called <u>metamorphism</u>.

<u>Igneous rocks</u> form through the <u>cooling and solidification of magma or lava</u>.

When the filled gaps of magma cool off, it will produce <u>igneous rocks</u>.

Which process can increase the rate of greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere in response to a decrease in albedo?
Vesnalui [34]

B. Ice-albedo feedback

Explanation:

The ice-albedo feedback is one process that can significantly increase the rate of greenhouse emissions in response to a decreased albedo.

Albedo is the ratio of reflected light to incident light.

A decrease in albedo suggests that a surface is absorbing more light than it is reflecting. This is typical of areas with land cover and vegetation.

Areas with a high reflectivity have a high albedo. Snow, ice and polar regions are good reflectors of solar radiation. They have a very high albedo close to 100%. Much of the surface area is buried with ice.

Examples of greenhouse gases are carbon dioxide, methane, water vapor e.t.c

How does a low albedo relates to increase in greenhouse gas emission?

  • The ice-albedo feedback can substantially contribute to greenhouse gas emission.
  • The high reflectivity of ice causes long wave radiation to warm the air around a icy body in polar regions.
  • When ice melts, they leave land bare and exposed.
  • Melt water collects in pockets.
  • Exposed land leads to a decrease in albedo.
  • Organisms can thrive more in warm terrain.
  • Also, pockets of carbon dioxide gases trapped in ice is released.
  • Organisms release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere during cellular respiration.
  • Soils originally permafrost will become stable and this will encourage more human occupation of the area.
  • All these activities leads to an increase in the emission of greenhouse gases in an area with low albedo.
