<u>Lahars</u> volcanic hazard is most likely to cause destruction in towns located 30-60 kilometers away from a Cascade Range volcano.

Lahar comes from Indonesian word which describe a mudflow or debris flow that originates on the slopes of a volcano. Small debris flows known to be very common within the Cascades, where they form in the times of heavy rainfall, rapid snow melt, and by shallow land sliding. These relatively small debris flows infrequently give way some miles down valleys. Inside the Cascades, the word lahar is normally reserved for larger events that occur in addition with volcanic eruptions, and travel many miles down valleys and affects the local communities. Lahars may occur by rapid melting of snow and ice during eruptions, by liquefaction of giant landslides (also called debris avalanches), by breakout floods from crater lakes, and by erosion from fresh volcanic ash deposits during heavy rains. Amid and immediately following volcanic eruptions, lahars can demeanor the foremost severe hazard to more populated valleys downstream from Cascades volcanoes.

So, the lahars volcanic hazard can cause destruction in towns located 30-60 kilometers away from a Cascade Range volcano.

Which are ways in which heat energy leaves the surface of land masses? Select the three correct answers.(2 points)
Phantasy [73]

Evaporation

Conduction to air, which then rises in convection

Radiation of infrared energy

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • Evaporation is a method where the water changes from the liquid stage to the gas stage. The liquid molecules will collide with each other when they are changing their phase. During this change, there will be a little energy transformation happening from one molecule to another.
  • Conduction is the process at which the electricity or the heat transmitted through the medium when the difference in temperature occurs. In this process, the material is not moving.
  • Convection movement will happen in gases and liquids because of their tendency to get hotter. Less dense molecules will go up and the denser molecule will come down which eventually transfer heat.
  • Radiation is the energy emission in form of subatomic particles, electromagnetic waves and other high energy particles.

Why do most global ecosystems form broad latitudinal belts across the world?
Lostsunrise [7]

The fact that the global ecosystems form broad latitudinal belts is mostly because of climatic reasons. It works very simply, the shape of the Earth doesn't allow the sun to heat up the surface equally in every place, so on the equator and around it the sun heats up the Earth the most, as the latitude changes the sun rays become weaker and weaker because they fall at a smaller angle and are dispersing much more, this forms the different climatic regions on Earth thus creating different ecosystems with it, ecosystems that have their borders mostly on the lines of change in climate from one region to another, so we mostly have latitudinal belts of ecosystems.

What three religions are in constant conflict over the land in the Middle East? Describe the claim of each.​
Ymorist [56]

Answer:

Judaism, Christianity, and Islam are in constant conflict over the land in the Middle East.

Explanation:

The Middle East is a region that is important for many reasons, and one of them is religious importance. This area is actually the birthplace of three major religions, the so-called Abrahamic religions. The three religions that emrged in this region are Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, in that order.

Judaism came first, and what is now Israel is considered as the holy land for this religion. Despite many attempts to forcefully removing the Jews from this area, some of them still managed to survive there and many more came back in the last century to reclaim what they consider as historically theirs.

Christianity emerged from Judaism. What is now Israel is also holy to it, and especially the city of Jerusalem. The claim of the Christians for this region is that their religion emerged there and its holy places have to be in their hands and no one else.

Islam came last, emerging from Christianity. Soon it became the dominant religion in the region through conquest and assimilation. It has been dominant in the area for over a milennium, so the claim is that it is historically theirs and since they managed to conquer the place it belongs to them.
