Question

All of the following are features you would expect to be associated with an oceanic-continental convergent boundary except: Subduction zone Trench An Island Arc System Volcano's and earthquakes Mountain Belts The Himalayan Mountains were formed at which type of boundary? Ocean-Continent Ocean-Ocean Continent-Continent A large transform Fault Hawaii was formed by a Convergent plate boundary Continental Rift Stationary Mantle Plume ("hot spots") A divergent plate boundary In order for a particular type of material to be classified as a mineral, it must____. be a solid occur naturally and be inorganic have a crystalline structure have a definite chemical composition All of the answers are correct. Silica is a complex ion having a charge of -4. In order to neutralize the charge to a more neutral state within a mineral structure what might happen. An electrical current will pass through the crystal Negative Ions such as CT can be inserted into the matrix Oxygen can be shared covalently by two silicon atoms Metal Ions with positive charges such as Al^+3 can be inserted into the mineral structure C and D The two roost abundant elements in Earth's crust are______. iron and magnesium carbon and hydrogen carbon and oxygen hydrogen and oxygen oxygen and silicon When seawater evaporates, its sodium (+ ion) and chlorine (- ion) are electronically attracted to one another and crystallize into___, forming a(n)_____bond. quartz; Covalent halite; Ionic clay; Polar Covalent calcite; Metallic hematite; Ionic Is the mineral CaCO_3 (calcium carbonate) a silicate mineral.
