What else can I help you with?
If a lava flow at Earth's surface had a basaltic composition what rock type would the flow likely turn into upon solidification?
It would form into the rock basalt, an extrusive, mafic, igneous rock.
When earth was formed its whole surface was comprised of which rock?
The Earth's original surface was likely made of basaltic rock, which is formed from solidified lava. Over time, geological processes such as weathering and plate tectonics have altered the surface composition of the Earth.
What is the oldest naturally made food not found on the earths surface?
the answer to your question is most likely to be honey.
Which type of light energy found in solar radation is most likely to reach the earths surface?
visible light
Are pyroclasts formed by basaltic magma or andesitic magma?
Pyroclasts can be formed by both basaltic and andesitic magma. Basaltic magma typically forms pyroclastic materials like scoria and ash, while andesitic magma can produce a variety of pyroclasts including volcanic bombs and pumice. The type of pyroclasts produced depends on factors such as the composition of the magma and the eruption style.
Lava plateaus are likely to have formed from magma that is?
basaltic with little gas content
What gas was present in earths primitive atmosphere?
The primary gases in Earth's primitive atmosphere were likely hydrogen, helium, methane, ammonia, and water vapor. Over time, these gases were likely transformed by geological and biological processes into the current composition of the atmosphere.
In which conditions are microbes more likely to spread?
Any condition is good for a microbe, they can thrive in pretty much every habitat on earth. Microbes have even been found in rocks 7 kilometres below the earths surface, and I'm not talking a few, there are as many microbes 7 km down as there are on the earths surface.
Does basilic lava have low silica?
Yes, basaltic lava has low silica content compared to other types of lava. Basaltic lava is typically rich in iron, magnesium, and calcium, which contribute to its low silica content. This low silica content also makes basaltic lava less viscous and more likely to flow easily.
If granite within earth melts and then erupts at the surface what type of extrusive rock is likely to form?
If granite melts and then erupts at the surface, it is likely to form rhyolite, which is an extrusive rock. Rhyolite has a composition similar to granite but is formed from the rapid cooling of magma at the Earth's surface.
Which would you expect to cause the greatest amount of contact metamorphism an intrusion of basaltic magma or an intrusion of rhyolitic magma?
An intrusion of basaltic magma would likely cause greater contact metamorphism compared to an intrusion of rhyolitic magma. Basaltic magma has higher temperatures and higher fluidity, allowing it to heat surrounding rocks more effectively and induce more intense metamorphic changes.
A round pit on the earths surface?
That would likely be a crater, caused by an impact from a meteorite, asteroid, or volcanic activity. Craters can vary in size and shape depending on the force of the impact.
