Answer:

The economic effects were more significant than the social effects.

Explanation:

The social effects included the flooding of over 600 houses and the evacuation of 16 farms. Villages, such as Borrowbridge,  were cut off, and power supplies, roads, and railways were also affected. The Bristol to Taunton line was closed at Bridgwater for instance. The environmental impacts were even worse though; an enormous volume of debris dumped by the floodwaters had to be cleaned up and stagnant waters had to be re-oxygenated before being pumped back into rivers. However, I think the worse impact of all was the contamination of all flooded areas by oil, agricultural chemicals, livestock effluent, and human sewage. I think that this is the worst impact because of its potential for causing harm to humans and other animals.

In conclusion, I think that the socio-economic and environmental effects of this flood were both important but that the environmental effect was more important, because of the potential to cause harm.

Lunna [17]

The meteorologist made a forecast that a cold front was coming through and the temperature would steadily drop 12.2 degrees over the next six and one fourth hours then temperature drop per each hour will be

12.2° ÷ 6.15 = 1.8°

here  a front is a weather system that is the boundary separating two different types of air. One type of air is usually denser than the other, with different temperatures and different levels of humidity.

and Cold fronts often come with thunderstorms or other types of extreme weather. They usually move from west to east. Cold fronts move faster than warm fronts because cold air is denser, meaning there are more molecules of material in cold air than in warm air.

NARA [144]

When molten rock flows or erupts through a crack on the earth's surface, it came from a Volcano.

<h3>What is a Volcano?</h3>

A volcano is a channel in Earth's crust through which molten rock flows. Volcanoes can develop from the subduction of a plate under another plate below the earth crust. At the boundaries where plates exist, molten magma  rises in cracks between the two plates, leading to the formation of volcanoes.

  Below the earth surface, molten rock is referred to as magma but as soon as it erupts above the earth's surface, it is referred to as Lava.

Therefor, according to the question, when molten rock flows or erupts through a crack on the earth's surface, it came from a volcano.
