Hey there! I'm happy to help!

This type of rock is called breccia. You may have seen it before. It looks like a ton of random rocks squished together. These types of rocks are sedimentary because they are made up of fragments of other rocks that were basically sealed together, so they are technically made of sediments. The word <u>clastic</u> means the rock is made up of pieces of preexisting rock.

Have a wonderful day and keep on learning! :D

. Which of the following best explains how a tephra deposit forms?
Alla [95]

Answer:

C. Airborne ash and rocks from a volcanic eruption remain suspended in the air for a long time before eventually settling to the ground in a new location far from the volcano.

Explanation:

Tephra deposits take many forms and shape, and their composition doesn't really matter either. The only thing that defines a tephra really is that it was ejected from the mouth of a volcano and fell on the ground where it remained intact (not merged with something else).

So, forms of tephra could be big boulders landing on the volcano's side or ashes that travel around the globe to land on the other side of the planet.

15. A pluton is a A. channel way for rising magma B. intrusion of magma into fractions C. man-made rock D. large igneous rock bo
atroni [7]

Answer:

B. intrusion of magma into fractions

Explanation:

A pluton is a type of rock that is formed when magma cools and solidifies underground, they are an intrusive igneous rock (forced into other layers of rock), usually in cracks. The three main types of pluton are bysmalith (cylindrical), lopolith (mushroom-shaped), and laccolith (blister-shaped).

Because magma is under high pressure and takes a long time to cool, it allows time for the formation of large crystals. Therefore, plutonic rocks have coarse-grained crystals that come in many different colors and sizes. A good example is granite.

<em>Considering this information we can conclude that pluton is not manmade rock, they come in different sizes (not only large) so the correct answer is B. intrusion of magma into fractions. </em>

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!
