Albite Melting Curve sheet.
Sorry need answer for #9

8 Australia
7 Vesuvius is the only active volcano in mainland Europe, and has produced some of the continent's largest volcanic eruptions. Located on Italy's west coast, it overlooks the Bay and City of Naples and sits in the crater of the ancient Somma volcano. Vesuvius is most famous for the 79 AD eruption which destroyed the Roman cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum. Though the volcano's last eruption was in 1944, it still represents a great danger to the cities that surround it, especially the busy metropolis of Naples

8. The greater the depth and pressure the lesser the temperature needs to be for the wet albite to melt.

9. The greater the depth and pressure the higher the temperature needs to be for the dry albite to melt.

agreed

Changed the number I need the answer for. We already had 7 & 8. We answer for 9.

[aussiebasser]

Or for your's,

7, The closer it is to the Earth's surface, the higher the temperature needs to be for Wet shit to melt

8, Dry shit is the opposite to wet shit.

[aussiebasser]

Answer to 9. They're different. Dry shit is hotter than wet shit.

That would be correct.

[ol man river]

pretty sure that dale is right also

I, personally, wouldlike this answered,"8. How do dikes form?"

A (edit) is a formation of igneous rock that can form exposed vertical or linear ridges. Dikes are formed underground and are an intrusive plutonic rock formation. Intrusive formations form when upwelling magma cools and solidifies beneath the surface. As the magma rises it intrudes into the overlying country rock (older rock that is also termed "host" rock).

Dikes are vertical formations and thus form at a steep or often near right angle to the surface. Dikes are planar intrusions that, in contrast to horizontal sills, have a discordant form of contact with the host rock into which they intrude. A discordant contact is one that transverses or cuts across the established bedding planes of the country or host rock (e.g., at right angles to surrounding sedimentary bedding planes).

(edit) texture varies from aphanitic (no visible mineral crystals) to phaneritic (visible mineral crystals). The texture is determined by the time needed for the upwelling magma to cool and solidify. Because dikes are vertical, gradients of textures can be established within the same (edit) (e.g., a change form aphanitic to phaneritic texture within the same (edit). The longer the magma cooling time, the greater the extent and size of mineral crystal formation in the igneous rock comprising the (edit). If, for example a (edit)âor a region of a (edit)âcools rapidly, the texture becomes uniform, smooth and without mineral crystals that are discernable upon visual inspection. If the magma in the (edit) cools over a long period of time, visible crystals form and the texture is described as phaneritic. Variation in the texture of dikes can also result from multiple intrusions of magma.

When exposed, dikes may form visible cliffs. In addition, dikes can form a network of underground passages for magma and when resistance to upward magma flow is encountered, a (edit) formation may give way to a horizontal sill intrusion.

Dikes can vary greatly in thickness across a range from a few inches to hundreds of yards. At the extreme, the great (edit) of Zimbabwe extends more than 350 miles and has an average width of about six miles.

The formation of dikes often follows or reflects the fracturing of surrounding country rock. Accordingly, dikes often form in clumps or "swarms" and can occur in radial distributions about a deeper upwelling.

By definition, dikes form and cool underground. However, if the same form of magma upwelling reaches the surface, it results in a usually low viscosity volcanic fissure formation. Such formations are common in the Hawaiian islands (formed from an upwelling of a magmatic "hot spot") and Iceland (formed as part of the magma upwelling associated with the Mid-Atlantic Ridge and in other areas of volcanic activity.

The search for such cliff formations is an important part of extraterrestrial studies conducted by the Mars Global Surveyor and probes sent to explore the moons of Jupiter. Identification of (edit) formations provide easily visible evidence of past volcanic activity, mantle plumes, and other forms of plate tectonic activity.

Soooo, why does one (edit) get editted and two dikes are OK?

wondering the same....couldn't be because (edit) was "edited" because of it's derogatory nature, and dikes was overlooked...?

I figured out why we could not get the answer to #9. This is the copy of the graph that Chase brought home.

It's missing the info on the right side showing pressure.

[mrlawler1]

Guess I need to check out the link cause I have no idea what in the (replacement word) yall are talking about...although I now know that wet stuff is the opposite of dry stuff...and that dry stuff is hotter than wet stuff....I think...

[Ricky86]

#9 ask you to compare one to the other. Make sure you do that.
