Melting above the subducted slab produces mafic magma, as described above, yet intermediate rocks (andesite, diorite) between oc

eanic and continental lithosphere, explain how this intermediate magma forms.
(a) A relatively small amount of intermediate magma occurs in volcanic island arcs. Remembering that melting above the subducting slab produces mafic magma, explain the origin of the intermediate magma.
(b) Much more intermediate magma erupts in continental arcs. Why?

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.

Tommy and Erin are building a skateboard ramp. They want the ramp to be 3 feet tall and 5 feet long.
BARSIC [14]

Answer:

Full question is attached.

Tommy's reasoning is wrong because the hypotenuse is not 5 feet.

A skateboard ramp resembles a right angles triangle so its sides resemble that of a right angled triangle.

The height of 3 feet would be the height of the triangle.

The length of 5 feet would be the length of the triangle.

The piece of plywood that would cover the top of the frame would be the hypotenuse.

In using the Pythagoras rule, the c is the hypotenuse but Tommy made the mistake of assuming that the hypotenuse was b which is where the error came from.

Instead of solving for b, they should have been solving for c which is the hypotenuse.

a² + b² = c²

3² + 5² = c²

9 + 25 = c²

c² = 34

c = √34

c = 5.83 feet

They should use a plywood of 5.83 feet not 4 feet.
