17
Q

Intrusive igneous rock typically larger than those of extrusive igneous rock

A

Because the magma cool much slower

18
Q

Extrusive rocks

A

they cool down quickly/
they have small crystals /
Basalt and scoria are example of these rocks

19
Q

Intrusive igneous rocks

A

Diorite/
Gabbro/
Granite/

20
Q

Molten rocks when they reach the Earth’s surface

A

They cool down and solidify non-foliated rocks /
Magma will bake the surrounding rocks dues to different in temperature

21
Q

Effect of heat and precsure in rocks as there is on increase in depth.

A

grain size becomes coarse

22
Q

Temperature and pressure affect metamorphism.

A

The deeper the rock depth, the higher the pressure and temperature.

23
Q

During partial melting of magma decompression melt take place

A

convergent boundary

24
Q

Water or Carbon dioxide is added to hot rocks, the melting points of mineral within the rocks decrease

25
Factor of partial melting
addition of volatiles/ decrease in pressure/ An increase in temperature
26
Heat energy is transmitted through collisions between neighboring atoms or molecules
Conduction
27
Two factors that affects conduction on the Earth's surface
heat from the Earth's core and radiation from the sun conduction in the surface of the earth affect the temperature of our atmosphere. Air molecules come in contract with the warmer surface of the land and ocean resulting to the increase of it's thermal energy
28
Radioactive decay play a very important role in earth's internal heat .
when radioactive element decays. it produces heat./ Radioactive element can be found anywhere in the Planet/ c. Spontaneous nuclear disintegration of radioactive elements produced thermal energy.
29
Chemical wathering exhibited by the mineral halite
Dissolution
30
Dissolution
Rocks and minerals dissolve rapidly when water is either acidic or basic/ Limestone composed of calcite is wathered and develop caves through time/ The crystal of halite dissolves rapidly and completely in water to form a solution.
31
Physical weathering
Freezing and thawing/ Burrowing of animals/ Temperature and pressure
32
Rocks
Most rocks are a mixture of minerals
33
order of the processes responsible for the formation of sedimentary rocks
weathering, erosion, deposition, compaction, cementation
34
Type of sedimentary incks is formed in halite
Chemical
35
Property exhibited by mica
Cleavage
36
The building blocks of rocks
Minerals
37
Role of Ozone Layer
it cools the earth through the evaporation of water vapor.
38
All living things, including humans are part of the immense Earth
Biosphere
39
earth different from any other planets in the solar system.
It is the only rocky planet
40
Why are Humans and other living organisms capable to live on Earth
Earth's temperature is neither the hottest nor the coldest among other
