Answer:
Igneous rocks form either when they cool very slowly deep within the Earth (intrusive) or when magma cools rapidly at the Earth's surface (extrusive). Rock may melt to create magma if temperature increases, pressure decreases, or water is added. Different minerals melt at different temperatures.

Answer:
Lithosphere and asthenosphere
Explanation:
The lithosphere is composed of both the crust and the portion of the upper mantle that behaves as a brittle, rigid solid. The asthenosphere is partially molten upper mantle material that behaves plastically and can flow.
Answer:
The freshwater biome is defined as the biome that comprises the water bodies such as lake, pond, rivers and wetlands and where the concentration of salt is almost less than 1%. It occupies near about 20-25% of the total earth's surface.
Generally, the characteristics of the photic zone of a freshwater biome include-
- It forms the upper layer of the freshwater body, ranging from the surface of the water up to a certain depth.
- It is the layer where the sunlight can easily penetrate.
- The photosynthesis process is driven out extensively by the aquatic plants existing in this layer.
- The primary producers are present in this zone that provides the food to almost all the freshwater organisms.
- In this zone, the rate of respiration is equal to the rate of photosynthesis.
