Why is magma formed from partial melting?
GeologyBecause the mantle is composed of many different minerals, it does not melt uniformly. As minerals with lower melting points turn into liquid magma, those with higher melting points remain as solid crystals. This is known as partial melting. How is magma formed from partial melting? The magma that is produced by partial melting is

What would happen if Mt Shasta erupted?
GeologyFuture eruptions like those of the past could endanger the communities of Weed, Mount Shasta, McCloud, and Dunsmuir, located at or near the base of Mount Shasta. Such eruptions will most likely produce deposits of lithic ash, lava flows, domes, and pyroclastic flows. What would happen if Mount Shasta blew? If Shasta erupted, it could

Why do earthquakes occur in certain areas?
GeologyWhy do so many earthquakes originate in this region? The belt exists along boundaries of tectonic plates, where plates of mostly oceanic crust are sinking (or subducting) beneath another plate. Earthquakes in these subduction zones are caused by slip between plates and rupture within plates. Why do earthquakes occur in certain areas and not everywhere?

Does Basalt tile need to be sealed?
GeologyWhile basalt rock is one of the most robust natural stone options available, it’s still necessary to seal it to protect against inevitable wear and tear. Basalt’s hard-wearing nature means it’s popular, alongside materials such as granite, for high-use areas like paving stones and kitchen surfaces. How do you seal basalt tiles? When the new

Can tectonic plates move quickly?
GeologyThey can move at rates of up to four inches (10 centimeters) per year, but most move much slower than that. Different parts of a plate move at different speeds. The plates move in different directions, colliding, moving away from, and sliding past one another. Most plates are made of both oceanic and continental crust.
