Question

The pictures below show two processes. (4 points)

Answer 1

Answer:

• Both processes form minerals.
• Volcanic eruptions form precipitates and shifting of tectonic plates form minerals.

Explanation:

Both volcanic eruptions and the shifting of tectonic plates form minerals. Volcanoes and their eruptions can directly or indirectly lead to the formation and/or deposit of minerals such as diamonds and zinc. Shifting also forms minerals due to the forces of compression the plates apply on each other as they move past.

Volcanoes are known the cause precipitates because when the erupt, the ash that is released mixes with water vapor which then becomes rain eventually.

Answer 2

Answer:

A

Explanation:

A precipitate is sedimentary rock formed by the minerals in water during precipitation, Minerals are sold sediments made by the earth in both heat and pressure or when things crystalize.

Magma crystalizes once cooled therefore creating a mineral.

The pressure of tectonic plates combines sediments together creating minerals.
