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.

marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

Coriolis force

Explanation:

  • The Coriolis force is a fictitious or an inertial force and the objects are forced with the frame of reference and is a clockwise motion that occurs to the felt of the motion of the object and is anticlockwise at this force acts to the right direction.  And it generally disturbed the flow of the winds and depends on the rotation of the earth and it affects the earth's surface features.

The isotope silicon 32 decays into phosphorus 32. Silicon 32 has a half-life of 170 years and can be used to find the age of roc
eduard

Answer:

B and C

Explanation:

B. In a given rock sample, the amount of Silicon-32 isotopes gets divided in half about every 170yrs.

This is the concept of half-life. Half life is the time take for half of a radioactive isotope to disintegrate. The shorter the half life the faster the isotope disintegrates.

From the question, we were told that it would take 170yrs for half of the isotope of Silicon to disintegrate to Phosphorus. This is the half life.

C. The half life can be used to determine the amount of Si-32 that has decayed from the time closure temperature was reached.

The closure temperature is very important in radioactivity. It is the temperature at which a system has cooled and there is no resulting disintegration of parent and daughter isotopes.

From first order kinetics, we know that the rate at which radioactive elements decay at any time is directly proportional to the number of radioactive atoms present. A knowledge of the half life helps to figure out the number of atoms that has decayed in time.
