Mafic magma at a temperature of 1200C intrudes into felsic continental-crust rocks 15 km below the surface. Will the granite melt? If so, what will happen to the resulting magma? Use information presented in the chapter to support your answer.
 
  What will be an ideal response?

Answer to Question 1

Figure 4.18 is useful for answering these questions. At 15 km below the surface, granite completely melts into granitic magma at about 705oC, which is much less than the temperature of the intruding mafic magma. However, this rising magma may not make it to the surface because water will escape as gas as the pressure decreases and this causes an increase in the melting temperature.

Answer to Question 2

B

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
