Answer:

171 cubic kilometers

Explanation:

IN order to solve this we just have to make a simple rule of three, where the 2,850,000 cubic kilometers will be the 100% and we want to calculate how many cubic kilometers will ,006% be:

\frac{2,850,000}{100}= \frac{x}{,006}\\ x=\frac{2,850,000*,006}{100}\\ x= 171

So every year the Greenland Ice Sheet looses 171 cubic kilometers of ice.

 171 km³ per year. 
0.006% = 0.006/ 100 = 0.00006 ;

0.00006 * 2,850,000 km³ = 171 km³  per year.

What condition results in magma cooling and forming a “glassy” igneous rock?
Gennadij [26K]

Answer: C)  extremely rapid cooling

Explanation:

When magma goes through extremely rapid cooling and especially if it did not dissolve enough water into it, it could freeze to glass or the mineral crystals that will be formed will be so small, they will look like glass.

This is because the reactions that occur to create minerals are affected directly by temperature such that if the magma cools down extremely slowly, it will form very large crystals but extremely fast would result in small crystals.
