form at specific temperatures as a magma cools. At the higher temperatures associated with mafic and intermediate magmas, the general progression can be separated into two branches. How do porphyritic-textured igneous rocks form? - ANSWERSPorphyritic rocks are formed when a column of rising magma is cooled in two stages. In the first stage, the magma is cooled slowly deep in the crust, creating the large crystal grains, with a diameter of 2mm or more. Which lines get closer together as the...

Le Chatlier's Law - correct answer "Nothing stays out of equilibrium for long" - deep formed rocks are created below the surface = equilibrium - same rocks brought to the surface = out of equilibrium; chemically/physically adjust via "weathering" Mechanical weathering - correct answer Physically breaking big pieces into small pieces (but phys. Char's of rock are retained) Mechanical weathe...

What is a fold line and how is it used? - ANSWER-The fold line is a hinge line along which a vertical cross section may be constructed and then flattened out to a horizontal or map view. It is used to represent the subsurface along any given line in a map view. It need not be perpendicular to strike. What is the angle and side relationships for the sin equation? - ANSWER-sinα = opposite side/hypotenuse What is the angle and side relationships for the tanget equation? - ANSWER-tanα = oppo...
