Why would a plume of solid silicate rock rising slowly from deep in the mantle begin melting as it neared the base of the lithosphere?
a. the rock heats up and expands at lower pressures, causing it to liquefy
b. temperatures remain high as lowered pressures decrease melting temperatures.
c. the lowered pressures cause rapid heat loss accompanied by melting.
d. none of the above

The temperature at a point (x, y) is t(x, y), measured in degrees celsius. a bug crawls so that its position after t seconds is given by x = 6 + t , y = 8 + 1 3 t, where x and y are measured in centimeters. the temperature function satisfies tx(3, 9) = 5 and ty(3, 9) = 4. how fast is the temperature rising on the bug's path after 3 seconds? (round your answer to two decimal places.)
