Answer:

Sedimentary rocks: They are made of weather pieces of rocks

They are formed above earth's surface

Both: They have a diverse composition, they may contain many types of minerals.

They are solid at room temperatures.

Intrusive Igneous Rocks: They are made of molten rocks called magma.

They are formed in Earth's crust or mantle.

Explanation:

<em>Sedimentary rocks:</em>

first one is obvious, sedimentary rocks are made from weathering

second one is tricky, although both Sedimentary rocks and Igneous Rocks could potentially form above earth's surface, the category provided here is "<em>Intrusive Igneous Rocks", </em>which is formed under Earth's surface, only extrusive Igneous rocks are formed above Earth's surface.

<em />

<em>Both:</em>

They are both rocks not minerals so they definitely have diverse compositions.

And one of the factors of rocks is that they are solid in room temperature.

<em>Intrusive Igneous Rocks:</em>

Igneous rocks are made when magma cools down.

Earth's crust is the solid part and the most outer part of Earth's layer, Extrusive Igneous rocks happened to form here when magma cools down and solidifies, mantle is the second outer part of Earth, where some intrusive rocks are solidified while still in the magma.

Answer:

(b) Decompression melting , flux melting

Explanation:

Decompression melting : The procedure of decompression melting includes the upward development of the earth mantle to a zone of lower pressure. The decrease in overlying weight empowers the stone to melt, prompting magma arrangement. Magma is shaped by the melting of the earth mantle.

Flux melting :I n molten petrology and volcano logy, flux melting  happens when water and other unstable segments are added to hot strong shake. In designing and metallurgy, transition is a substance, for example, salt, that creates a low dissolving point blend with a metal oxide.

Similarly, the expansion of water and other unstable mixes to rocks made out of silicate minerals brings down the softening temperature of those stones.
