Answer:

The two subcategories of igneous rocks are intrusive and extrusive igneous rocks.

Explanation:

The igneous rocks are the rocks that form from cooling magma and lava. They are the base for the formation of the two other types of rocks. The igneous rocks are divided into two subcategories, intrusive and extrusive.

The intrusive igneous rocks are the ones that form from magma that didn't manage to come out on the surface but gradually cooled off into the crust. The extrusive igneous rocks are the ones that have formed from lava that cooled off and that has come out on the surface or very close to the surface.

Because the extrusive and intrusive rocks take different times to form because of the difference in temperature and pressure on the surface and deep into the crust, they have differences in their appearance. The most noticeable difference is that the intrusive igneous rocks have coarse grains, thus large and well-defined ones, while the extrusive ones have fine grains, thus very small and almost unnoticeable.

In which part of Australia would you expect to find a tropical climate?
irga5000 [103]
A. Northern - it is nearer the equator than the other parts of Australia, so the temperatures would be hotter, and almost the same with tropical countries. Darwin, for example, experiences monsoon rains and storms, and high humidity, which is much different from other Australian places.

Explain Mexico and Canada's immigration policy! Please Help!!
Sever21 [200]

Canada and Mexico’s importance to the United States is more than simply a border-state phenomenon. The trading relationship between United States and Canada represents the largest bilateral flow of income, goods, and services in the world. Meanwhile, Mexico is the United States’ second largest trading partner. Between NAFTA coming into effect and 2003, two-way trade between Canada and Mexico more than doubled.

The temporary visa category created for Mexican and Canadian NAFTA Professional Workers enabled 92,951 Canadians and 2,571 Mexicans to enter the United States on visas in 2001. In 2002, Mexico was the country of origin of the largest number of legal immigrant admissions to the U.S, and Mexicans represented about 29.8 percent of the total foreign-born population. In comparison, Canadian immigrant admissions were only 1.8 percent of total legal admissions.
