Answer and Explanation:

A. Intermediate magma occurs with the partial melting of the overlying ultramafic oceanic crust. This melting is caused by the fluids released by the subducted slab. As a result of this parvial melt there is a magmatic differentiation where the formed magma leaves a material residue, called intermediate residue, which is assimilated by the basaltic magma, thus forming the intermediate magma.

B. This is because as the intermediate magma is produced, the continental crust is either assimilated by it, or melted and assimilated by the magma.

Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

Yes.

Explanation:

The duration of hours of the day is longer during the summer and shorter during the winter and this influences the temperature in these two seasons. As the day is longer in the summer, it means that the hemisphere that this summer has more exposure to the sun and therefore has higher temperatures. The opposite happens in the winter, as there is less exposure to the sun, due to the shorter day, which can help in decreasing the time.
