What are the smooth, rounded areas of rock that are formed when lava reacts with cold seawater?

Gnesinka [82]2 years ago

Pillow basalts are smooth, spherical rock formations that occur when lava and frigid seawater interact.

Lava is molten rock that emerges as a liquid from under the Earth's surface. The term "lava" is also used to describe the rock that is generated when molten lava cools and solidifies. Either the substance is exceedingly stiff and barely flows, or it might be incredibly fluid, flowing nearly like syrup. The viscosity of the lava increases with silica concentration.

Hawaiian terms pahoehoe and aa (or a'a) refer to flows formed by mafic lavas, such as basalt. Smooth, subtly undulating, or extensively hummocky surfaces define Pahoehoe lava flows. A thin, still-plastic crust is dragged and wrinkled into twisted rope-like folds and rolls by the flowing molten lava beneath it.

Which planet type tends to have few or no satellites?
malfutka [58]

Answer:

Terrestrial planets

Explanation:

There are two types of planets:

  1. The inner planets or terrestrial planets
  2. The outer planets or Jovian planets.

The outer planets are gas giants and are made of huge mounds of gases. These planets are Jupiter, Neptune, Uranus and Saturn. They all have satellites revolving round them.

The terrestrial planets are small rock masses. They are mercury, venus, earth and mars. Earth has one satellites and Mars has two satellites.

The asteroid belt seperates the Jovian and terrestrial planets. Beyond the Jovian planets lies the Kuiper Belt Objects or KBOs.

If globes are better at showing the Earth accurately, why do we still use maps?
vredina [299]

Answer:

Even though globes are showing Earth more accurately, the maps are still used because they are more practical.

Explanation:

Earth is generally shown with two methods, one being the maps (map projections) and the other being globes. Both are used and will be used, as both have several advantages, but also several disadvantages. Despite globes being closer and more accurate in their representation of Earth, the maps are still used because they are much more practical.

The globes show Earth very close to its true form, though they are made as a ball, not as an ellipsoid. Anyhow, the globes don't have distortions of areas, so the sizes and locations are accurate on them. On the other hand, globes are highly impractical because of their shape, as they are don't often fit in standard backpacks or bags, and can easily be broken or damaged. Also, we can not see the entire Earth at any moment, so it is hard to make comparisons by using them.

The maps, on the other side, do have inaccuracies, mostly by having distortions, be it around the Equator or around the poles. Despite this, they have a relatively good accuracy that in most cases is enough for practical usage. Also, their form and weight make them easy to use, move from place to place, and the entire world can be seen at the same time, thus they are very practical when it comes to making comparisons.
