What is the structure of a shield volcano?

Geography
1 answer:
valina [46]1 year ago
5 0

The cone-shaped structure, or edifice, of the volcano is formed by the symmetrical buildup of lava and/or pyroclastic substance around the central vent system. The central vent is deep connected to a magma chamber, which serves as the primary storage area for eruptive material.

The third type of volcano, shield volcanoes, are almost entirely composed of fluid lava flows. Stream after stream spills out in all ways from a central summit exhaust, or group of vents, forming a broad, gently sloping cone with a profile similar to that of a warrior's shield.

Jobisdone [24]
1. The western and Eastern cities developed at a different period. Eastern cities developed in the 1700s and 1800s while the western cities developed in 1900s, which cause some difference in culture.

3. The next one would be the structure. To cater the industrialized worker, western cities tend  to have more single-family homes rather than lawns and a center of internet media and technology. The eastern cities, on the other hand, consist of shared housings and mixed neighborhood and  would often used for factories due to its wide area.

Which of Earth's resources can be transformed into a solid, a liquid, or a gas?
Marina86 [1]
Let's take water: it definitely has three forms: ice, liquid and water vapor: it's definitely the correct answer!
 
Wind is just movement of air, so it can't be in any other state.

And as far as air and soil are concerned: some parts of them can also appear in three states, but not the air or soil generally, for example water is included in both of them and it can appear in the three states!
