The two main categories of igneous rocks are extrusive and intrusive. Extrusive rocks are formed on the surface of the Earth from lava, which is magma that has emerged from underground. Intrusive rocks are formed from magma that cools and solidifies within the crust of the planet.

Igneous rocks form when magma (molten rock) cools and crystallizes, either at volcanoes on the surface of the Earth or while the melted rock is still inside the crust. All magma develops underground, in the lower crust or upper mantle, because of the intense heat there.


When lava comes out of a volcano and solidifies into extrusive igneous rock, also called volcanic, the rock cools very quickly. Crystals inside solid volcanic rocks are small because they do not have much time to form until the rock cools all the way, which stops the crystal growth.

How do we know that earth's magnetic field has undergone reversals in the past?
slega [8]
We know that the poles had changed positions in the past, because of the arrangement of the crystals in the rocks made out of metal. The crystals of the metals act like the needle of the compass when the rock is cooling off and forming, they turn into the direction of the strongest magnetic field on the Earth, which is the North Pole. So by studying the rocks that are made out of metals and see the crystals arrangement and also estimate the age of the rocks, the scientist can precisely tell how has the North Pole been moving throughout time.

The epidemiologic transition is characterized by?
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

The epidemiological transition has two stages:

- First, the high mortality caused by infectious diseases and malnutrition;

- The second is characterized by chronic degenerative diseases.

Explanation:

Epidemiological transition is understood as the long-term changes in the patterns of death, disease and disability that characterize a specific population and that usually occur along with broader demographic, social and economic transformations.

It is a dynamic concept that focuses on the evolution of the predominant profile of mortality and morbidity, specifically the epidemiological transition implies a change in the predominant direction: of infectious diseases associated with primary deficiencies (for example, nutrition, water supply, housing conditions) to chronic and degenerative diseases, injuries and mental illnesses, all these related to genetic factors and secondary deficiencies (for example, personal or environmental security effect of opportunities for the full realization of individual potentiality)

The epidemiological transition covers three basic processes:

a) Substitution between the first causes of death of common infectious diseases by noncommunicable diseases and injuries.

b) The displacement of the greatest burden of morbidity and mortality from the youngest groups to the elderly.

c) Changes from a situation of predominance of mortality in the epidemiological landscape to another in which morbidity is dominant.
