The correct answer is<span> A composite volcano, rhyolitic magma, and plinian explosion
</span> What composite means is that there was a lot of lava around it that cooled and overtime the more lava there was the more it layered around and created the comoposite volcano. That is because there's a lot of lava at its eruption. The violent explosion is plinian because it goes high into the air with a lot of smoke and matter in it.
Answer:
The correct answer is: a) it relies on testimony from people.
Explanation:
The Mercalli intensity scale, unlike the Richter scale, does not directly measure the energy of an earthquake. Rather, it takes into account the damage and effects that the earthquake caused. When there is little damage, it relies on the testimony of people who felt the earthquake, which may vary and is ultimately subjective to people's perception.
The Mercalli Intensity Scale ranges from "Not felt" to "Catastrophic" going through 12 scale intensities.
