The role of plate tectonics in the origin of igneous rock is extremely important. Igneous rock is formed from magma that reaches the continental and oceanic crust or through hot spots that are around the world. There are three different places where igneous rocks can form; where

Some are estimated to be continental or even hemispheric in size‚ while other are believed to be much smaller. Though the actual boundaries and sizes and shapes of the plates are not known for sure‚ it has been postulated that there are six major plates and somewhere around the same number of smaller ones. Most of the plates consist of both sail (continental) and sima (oceanic) crust

Describe in basic terms how elements were/are formed during the big bang (including the reasons why only H/He formed abundantly)‚ during normal stellar operation (including why some elements such as Si and Fe were formed more abundantly)‚ and during supernova processes/explosion Big bang only thing that forms out of the big bang is the nuetrons. Protons plus electrons = hydrogen. Hydrogen fuses the helium. There are no stable atoms with 5 or 8 nucleons (hydrogen would have 5‚ helium would have
