Basalt forms when magma cools very quickly. Basalt _____.-has small crystals
-is an intrusive igneous rock
-forms from heat and pressure
-forms from contact metamorphism

Answers

The correct answer is - has small crystals.

Basalt is an igneous rock, formed from the lava flows that cool off pretty quickly, either on the surface, or very close to the surface. The cooling appears to be very quick because the lava is exposed to a much lower temperature that its own temperature, thus starting to cool of, loses its liquidity/viscosity, and becomes solid. Since the cooling off appears to very quick, the basalt has very small crystals, often, even unnoticeable with bear eye, and this is because the rock forms very quickly and there isn't time for creating a more massive crystal structure as the extrusive igneous rocks.

Basalt is an intrusive igneous rock that is formed when magma cools very quickly. The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the second option. Basalt is actually a very common type of a bedrock. I hope this is the answer you were looking for and it has helped you.

Which process causes hillsides and mountains to gradually get smaller?

Answers

erosion and land water cause the ground to do either two things. 

erosion causes the soil on top to be picked up by moving water or pounding and splashing water from the rain. this soil is usually moved to the bottom or to the lowest level around it.  

land water, which causes the soil under to become softer and is able to become more and more compact and able to turn to petrified soil or even rock.

the ____ mountains, circled in purple on the map above, stretch across western iran and are located next to the khuzestan plain

Answers

Answer:

The Alborz mountains, circled in purple on the map above, stretch across western iran and are located next to the khuzestan plain.

Explanation:

    There are two large mountain ranges in Iran. One is the Alborz Range which is located from Northwest to Northeast Iran, with Iran's highest peak (Mount Damavand, at 5,671 meters above sea level) near Tehran. This mountain range, along with the Zagros mountain range, has a total length of 1,500 km.

I think it is the Alborz mountain range. 

WILL MARK BRAINLIEST IF CORRECT :)Many earthquakes occur near mid-ocean ridges but do not destroy or form new crust. Instead, plates slip past each other. Which kind of boundary is found at these earthquake locations?

A. transform boundary between two ocean plates
B. transform boundary between two continental plates
C. convergent boundary between two ocean plates
D. convergent boundary between two continental plates

Answers

Answer:

The answer would be *drumroll* A!

Explanation:

A transform boundary is a fault along a plate boundary where the motion is predominantly horizontal. It ends abruptly where it connects to another plate boundary, either another transform, a spreading ridge, or a subduction zone. Most such faults are found in oceanic crust, where they accommodate the lateral offset between segments of divergent boundaries, forming a zigzag pattern.

or,

A transform boundary is a boundary that rubs against another, creating faults(earthquakes) on the Earths crust.

I hope this helps and you have a great rest of your evening! :) :D

(ps, i would like brainlest please and thank you!)

Answer:

A. transform boundary between two ocean plates
