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

Engines for propeller-driven aircraft are limited in their maximum rotational speed by the fact that the tip speed of the propeller must not approach the speed of sound in air (mach i). taking 6 ft as a typical diameter for a propeller of a light airplane and 1100 fils as the speed of sound, find the upper limit on the rpm (revolutions per minute) of the propeller shaft.
