Info

Igneous Rocks and Plate Tectonics • Divergent plate boundaries - convection cells ll move mantle l peridotite id i closer l to the h surface. These rocks are at high temperatures so the h pressure reduction d i causes partial melting and production of bbasaltic l i magmas.
Igneous Rocks and Plate Tectonics • Convergent plate boundaries - the subduction of oceanic crust produces p ppartial melting of the hydrated basalt. This produces p intermediate ( (andesitic) ) magmas g which rise to form mountains (e.g. Andes). These magmas g can in turn melt continental crust producing granitic magmas.
