Explanation / Answer

1. 48%

2. 270 Ma, 260 Ma, both from Mesozoic era

3. Komatitte magma

4.

5.

6. regional metamorpohsis

7. Craton

8. Bowens reachion series

9. Barrovian zones are metamorphic zones that describe the changes in metamorphic mineral assemblages that occur in regionally metamorphosed pelitic rocks. Buchan metamorphism is similar to Barrovian but has elevated temperatures. With increasing temperature these minerals are chlorite, biotite, garnet, staurolite, kyanite, and sillimanite
