Of these two samples one most likely formed from magma generated at a subduction zone. (Hint that means one of the samples must be "most likely"). 05. Formed by slow cooling of magma. 06. Formed from magma generated at a divergent margin, without any assimilation or differentiation (fractional crystallization). 07. Could have formed from a magma generated by partial (fractional) melting of the asthenoshpere. 08. Could have formed from a melt that has undergone either differentiation (fractional crystallization). or assimilation or both. 09. Formed from cooling lava flows on the side of a shield volcano. 10.
