Why do masses of partially melted rock or magma rise or intrude the surrounding rocks?
valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

Explained

Explanation:

The melted magma or partially melted rock rise or intrude the surrounding rocks because of the buoyancy. The partially melted rocks or magma due their high temperature become less dense than the surrounding rocks and rise up. And then these heated rock or magma react with surrounding rocks which in turn increases the pressure in the magma chamber. This intermixing of magma with surrounding rocks forms another type of rocks called igneous rocks.

Why doesn’t radiometric dating of basalt on the ocean floor provide us with an absolute age for the planet earth?
Luda [366]

Answer:

Radiometric dating of basalt on the ocean floor provide us with an absolute age for the planet earth because the oceanic crust is recycled too frequently at subduction zones,

Explanation:

Radiometric dating of basalt  on the ocean floor can not provide us the absolute age of the planet earth due to the subduction. In the process of subduction oceanic plate went below the continental plate as it is less denser. It then melts there and its recycling takes place frequently. So the radiometric dating of basalt on oceanic plate can not provide us the true information regarding the age of the earth.
