Question

Metallic minerals become concentrated in liquid magma because they __________.

Answer 1

Metallic minerals become concentrated in liquid magma because they undergo igneous and hydrothermal processes.

Step-by-step explanation:

• The magma that is formed deep beneath the 'surface of the Earth' carries various earth minerals to the surface of the Earth through convective actions.

• It is responsible for the melting of solid minerals in the interiors of Earth.

• The minerals as a result of melting, liquify and reach the levels where their density allows them to float.

• This results in the concentration of minerals in liquid magma.

Answer 2

Metallic minerals become concentrated in liquid magma due to igneous, hydrothermal processes.

When magma forms first, it cools down and sink. The minerals concentrate at the top forming hydrothermal fluid.
