Answer:

"If magma with the same composition reaches the surface, it forms extrusive rocks such as rhyolite and pumice. Basalt is an extrusive igneous rock that forms the ocean floor. ... Also, water and wind break apart and carry away surface rocks. Then deeper rocks are uncovered at the surface."

Basalt forms when lava cools quickly at the surface. This quick cooling rate results in very small mineral grains. Pumice is formed when volcanoes erupt explosively. It comes from the same kind of magma which would form granite or rhyolite, that is, a magma that contains lots of silica (quartz). Magma with lots of silica is usually thick and sticky

Answer:

Explanation:

Hybridization is the combination of atomic orbitals to yield equivalent hybrid orbitals of appropriate energy which can participate in bonding.

In every compound there is a central atom. The central atom is usually the least electronegative atom in the molecule. In this case the least electronegative atom in the molecule is carbon.

The bond between carbon and oxygen in CO2 is intermittent between a pure double and a pure triple bond. Hence, carbon is sp hybridized.
