10. What is partial melting compared to the complete melting of a rock? Why is it that rocks do not usually experience complete
Kamila [148]

Answer:

Partial melting occurs when only a portion of solid is melted. It is thus enriched in the chemical components of minerals with lower melting temperatures and the remaining unmelted portion of the rock is composed of minerals with highest melting temperatures. Partial melting preferentially enriches melts with incompatible elements.

Partially melted rock do not usually experience complete melting inside the Earth, due to their different chemical composition and their melting points.

It is thought that partial-melting processes play a major role in generating more-defined liquids from less-evolved ones, so that many basalts may be the result of partial melting in the upper mantle, and many granites may have derived partly or completely from the partial melting of continental crust (anatexis).With increasing temperature and pressure, the subducted oceanic crust (of basic composition) first undergoes metamorphism and then begins to melt or release watery fluids; this material rises into the overlying mantle, which may also begin to melt, giving rise to intermediate magma.

Why does Slovakia have a more vibrant agricultural sector than the neighboring<br> Czech Republic?
Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

Because of the fertile plains of the Danube River.

Explanation:

Slovakia and Czechia (formerly the Czech Republic) despite being part of a single country until three decades ago, and being neighbors with very close ties, have developed differently and their economies have a lot of differences. One of the biggest differences is that Slovakia has a highly developed agricultural sector while Czechia's is very small and doesn't contribute much to the economy.

s The reason for this difference is geography. Slovakia has a relatively large and very fertile plain, with the Danube River being a big plus in it. This provides Slovakia with enough area and very good conditions so that it can have a prosperous agricultural sector. Czechia, on the other hand, is almost entirely covered with mountains and hills, and the little area of the handfull of valleys is mostly urbanized, thus the country doesn't have what it needs to develop the agricultural sector.

How are rocks DIFFERENT from minerals? A) Rocks are a pure substance and minerals are all mixtures. B) Rocks have no physical or
Elena L [17]

The answer is C) Rocks are made up of one or more minerals, but minerals are not made up of rocks.

Let's look into the options one by one:

A) Rocks are a pure substance and minerals are all mixtures.

-This is false.

-The fact is the exact opposite, where rocks are mixtures of minerals while minerals are pure substance. For example, granite, a type of rock, is composed of quartz, mica and feldspar.

B) Rocks have no physical or chemical properties similar to minerals.

-This is false.

-As rocks are formed by different types of minerals, often can you find the properties of rocks similar to minerals especially when one mineral component is high.

C) Rocks are made up of one or more minerals, but minerals are not made up of rocks.

-This is correct.

-Most of the rocks are made up of more than one type of minerals given the minerals are mixed together or produced during different formation. We can therefore see that minerals are not made up of rocks but a component of rocks.

For example, the granite mentioned from above is formed when intrusive volcanicity occurs, when the magma cools down, more than a type of minerals are formed, putting together forming granite.

D) Minerals are made up of at least two rocks, but rocks are not made up of minerals.

-This is false.

-As from above, minerals are not made up of rocks, while rocks are made up of minerals.

Therefore the answer is C) Rocks are made up of one or more minerals, but minerals are not made up of rocks.

Hope it helps!
