Endogenic Processes
When does magma form?
when new minerals form due to chemical changes in the rock
when volcanoes erupt
when temperature are hot enough to melt rock
when grains have been compacted together
Why does magma move up to and through Earth's crust?
It is cooler than crust.
It is more dense than surrounding rock.
It is more viscous that ocean water.
It is less dense than surrounding rock.
HIDE ANSWER
It is the movement of thermal energy from a warmer place to a cooler place.
Conduction
Convection
Induction
Heat Transfer
It is the internal heat energy accumulated by dissipation in a planet during its first few million years of evolution.
Radioactive Decay
Primordial Heat
Magma Formation
The amount that the Earth’s temperature increases with depth. It indicates heat flowing from the Earth’s warm interior to its surface.
:Primordial Heat
Radioactive Gradient
The rising magma in mantle convection cell brings heat to the surface, transferring heat to the overlying rocks.
Mid-oceanic ridges
Mantle plumes
Subduction Zones
Oceanic crustal rocks are formed along spreading centers, typically beneath several kilometers of seawater.
