I need help from masters of geology!!?

I have a geology review with 250 questions and these 6 are giving me trouble...if yall could help me I would definitely appreciate it!! Serious answers only please!! I hate to say that but some people are no help!





Question 1

a. more, less


b. less, less


c. more, more


d. less, more





Question 2


The immense quantities of granitic magma that form batholiths commonly form


a. within the deep sea floor.


b. at subduction zones.


c. at the Mid-Atlantic Ridge.


d. at transform faults.





Question 3


Gentle eruptions of basaltic lava from long fissures create


a. flood basalts.


b. pillow lava.


c. cinder cones.


d. shield volcanoes.


e. nu锟絜 ardente.





Question 4


When an ash flow comes to a stop, most of the gas escapes into the atmosphere, leaving behind a chaotic mixture of volcanic ash and rock fragments called


a. ash-flow basalt.


b. pillow lava.


c. ash-flow tuff.


d. a shield volcano.


e. a submarine volcano.





Question 5


A cool rock near the Earth's surface is more likely to ____ than a similar rock that is hot and under great pressure.


a. deform plastically


b. undergo pressure release melting


c. undergo brittle fracture


d. metamorphose








Question 6

a. undergo brittle fracture.


b. undergo plastic deformation.


c. undergo confining stress.


d. undergo confining pressure.
