Are magmatic processes a form of geological metamorphism?
No. Magmatic processes involve molten rock, so they are considered igneous.
What is it called when a stem cell becomes specific type of cell?
differentiation.
What cooling creates igneous rocks?
Magmatic (lava) cooling.
How does fractional crystallization lead to magmatic differentiation?
As a magma crystallizes it undergoes fractional crystallization in which mafic minerals crystallize first and felsic minerals crystallize last. Therefore, as fractional crystallization occurs the magma becomes increasingly less mafic and increasingly more felsic. The viscosity also increases as a magma becomes more felsic.
What rocks are found after a volcano erupts?
Rocks of igneous formation and magmatic origin.
How does magmatic differentiation account for variety of igneous rocks?
Magmatic differentiation accounts for a variety of igneous rocks occurring in the same body of rock by:Mixing of magmas from two or more sources.Distinct melting events from a variety of sources.Crystal fractionationPartial melting from the same source.Immiscibility.Assimilation of crustal rock by magma.
Are intrusive granites that give rise to ore minerals similar to magmas?
The intrusive granites which contain ores are the product of solidified magmas, most probably ones that have undergone significant magmatic differentiation.
What is a magmatic?
A magmatic earthquake is an earthquake triggered by the movement of magma, underground molten rock.
Is magmatic a mineral?
No, Magmatic is and adjective meaning of or realting to magma. Magma is not a mineral but molten rock underground.
One magma can produce several different igneous rocks having different mineral compositions?
Magmatic differentiation results to the formation of several different igneous rocks from a single parent magma. It occurs in nature via crystal settling and squeezing.
Antonym of hydrothermal?
Magmatic
Are magmatic processes a form of geological metamorphism?
No. Magmatic processes involve molten rock, so they are considered igneous.
What is it called when a stem cell becomes specific type of cell?
differentiation.
How are magmatic materials transported to the surface?
asdaw
What is assimilation in geology?
I am guessing you are talking with regard to magmatic differentiation during the eruption process? If so assimilation is simply the chemical change in the magma due to the magma melting other rock types that make up the walls of the conduit. This process often explains "abnormal" mineral compositions.
What role is played by energy in its various forms to create magmatic and metamorphic rocks?
What role is played by energy in its various forms to create magmatic and metamorphic rocks?
What creates Igneous rock?
Magmatic (lava) cooling.
