Why is expansion of rock important for magma to form?

Geography

Eddi Din [679]4 years ago

The melting temperature of materials is affected by the pressure they are under. So when "rock" in the Earth's mantle experiences a decrease in confining pressure, not only does it expand, it's melting temperature drops. If the melting temperature of the material drops below the background (also known as the
in-situ
) temperature, then melting will occur and in this case magma will form.

1) Find the area of the shape below. Round your answer to the nearest tenth 16 cm​
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

151.3 cm²

Explanation:

The shape is composed of a semicircle and a rectangle

Area of the shape = area of the semicircle + area of the rectangle

Area of the shape = ½(πr²) + L*W

r = ½(16 - 6) = ½(10) = 5 cm

L = 16 cm

W = 7 cm

Plug in the values

Area of the shape = ½(π*5²) + 16*7

Area = 39.27 + 112

Area = 151.3 cm² (nearest tenth)

The rock cycle is a recycling process by which igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks are produced, converted from one form to another and destroyed. The rock cycle is a continuous process that has been occurring throughout the history of the earth. The major processes of the rock cycle include sedimentation, crystallization, metamorphism and erosion.
