Answer:

A, C, D

Explanation:

The Gulf Stream is a warm ocean current in the Atlantic that carries warm water from tropical latitudes towards the more northerly latitudes of Western Europe. The effect of this current on the climate of the western part of the European continent es enormous. Many European cities at the same latitudes as Canadian cities with sub-polar climates enjoy temperature cool climates thanks to the moderating effect of the Gulf Stream that reduces the continentality and high latitude effects of the location.

Which of the following hazards would you expect to see at a CONVERGENT plate boundary associated with a continent-continent COLL
mixer [17]

Answer:

Option (C)

Explanation:

The sharing of a convergent plate boundary between two continental plates results in the formation of a sandwich pattern, where the rocks at the edges of both the plates are crushed and crumbled and folded. Here the magma beneath the plates cannot rise up to the surface due to its high thickness, so it does not lead to the formation of volcanoes. For example, the Himalaya.

There is the possibility of occurring frequent landslides at the higher elevated mountainous areas due to the steeper slope of the mountains. It can also lead to the occurrence of flood, as there is the presence of plateaus that are formed at the top of the mountains that has the ability to trap water within them.

Thus, the correct answer is option (C).

Melting above a subducting slab produces mafic magma, as described in Exercise 5.10, yet intermediate rocks (andesite, diorite)
Ksju [112]

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
