The type of magma associated with oceanic hot spots mafic Decompression melting in this setting forms a long, submarine ridge divergent boundary When mafic magma rising from the mantel rises through this type of crust, it will form int-felsic magma Continental crust Shield volcanoes may form here, when magma upwells from the asthenosphere hot spot The type of magma that most commonly forms at subduction zones int-felsic magma This tectonic setting can form an explosive caldera subduction z...

What is climate? Precipitation, temperature, and biometric pressure measurements averaged over a period of years Prevailing global winds travel in the same direction independent of latitude: T or F False Monsoon rains occur in places where the wind direction shifts seasonally, pulling warm moist air from the ocean onto land: T or F True Ellison Creek Flood Heavy rain fell over the Highline Burn Scar, sending floodwater and debri into and down Ellison Creek, to the Cold Springs swimming hol...
