Answer:

The intermediate magma has a heterogeneous structure, since it has a part of Silice, approximately 50-60% to be more exact.

When it turns into lava, it produces rocks like the Andesite and, in the opposite case of its crystallization, it forms rocks like the Diorite.

A comparison of felsic magma is much more viscous.

It is important to clarify that this magma is a type of primary magma, that is to say that they are magmas formed from the fusion of the rocks of the mantle or the crust.

Explanation:

The fusion of these rocks are what would give rise to the intermediate magma, this intermediate magma is a primary magma, like the mafic and felsic.

The primary magmas unlike the derived magmas is the origin or the reason for how they are formed, which is what we write above, derived magmas usually form differently since they are the product of the evolution or changes that magmas undergo primary

Answer:

A. the concept of cultural landscape

Explanation:

The adobe is a structure that was made by three tribes (Zuni, Pueblo, and Hopi) that lived in Southwest of America.

Most likely due to the movement of plate tectonics. They are plates of earth under the ocean that move occasionally, over the years this is probably what happened. Plate tectonics are also the cause of most earthquakes and even tsunamis. Erosion could also play a factor in this as well.

Wegener's theory of continental drift was formulated at a time when evidence for it was lacking. what new evidence was harry hes
Andrew [12]
The theory of continental drift by Alfred Wegener states that all land masses were originally united in a single supercontinent known as Pangaea (250 million years ago). He shows evidences like continental fit, similarity of rock sequences, glacial till and striations, fossils (cynogathus-land reptile, lystrosaurus-land reptile, mesosaraus-freshwater reptile, glossopteris-fern plant) to support his theory but what was lacking is that it lacked a mechanism to explain HOW the continents moved apart. But Harry Hess, a geologist and Navy submarine commander during WWII <span>brought up a new evidence to add in support of Wegener’s theory: the idea of seafloor spreading and magnetic reversals.</span>
