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

Explanation:

In communication, the use of drawings, photographs, sketches to pass and/or receive messages are referred to as visual communication.

In Saul's case, whenever he draws an item (say apple; for instance), the attendant would understand what he meant and gives him an apple.

This kind of communication may be a little bit difficult and time consuming but until he finds a better way to communicate, he's left with little choice.
