Document Summary
We can go see him after class starting next week to go over our exams. You stick the rock in a pot and place the pot over a ame. Redite will have melted and turned into a liquid. In this case, it"s lava because it"s no longer a mineral. The mineral that is left is made of orangite, yellowite, greenite, bluite, and violetite. Suppose you collect a sample of plate y. You stick the rock in a pot over a ame until the sample completely melts and becomes lava. You turn o the ame and allow the pot to cool. Violetite will solidify rst, then bluite, then greenite, then yellowite, then orangite, then redite. Starting with a liquid (no minerals) and nally ending with all 6 minerals. Use gure of convergent plate boundary to answer this question. Planet s, you drill a hole until you hit the subducting plate y.
