Which of the following best describes the behavior of silica rich magma

Physics

Answer:

A. Highly viscous and associated with violent eruptions

Explanation:

Most silica rich magma have high viscosity and huge amount of trapped gases within them. As they continue to upwell and expand, the gases causes violent eruptions near Volcanoes. Most granitic/rhyolitic magma are silica rich.

Answer: Option (A)

Explanation: Silica rich magma are those in which the magma has more than 65 % of silica content. The higher the silica content, the higher is its viscosity i.e viscosity of a magma is directly proportional to the silica content of magma.

This highly viscous magma inside the volcanoes moves sluggishly and mostly gets concentrated in the vents and seals them. With time, when the pressure exerted by the magma is too high, it creates violent eruptions through the vents.

Thus, the correct answer is option (A).

Tema [17]
By definition, the momentum is given by:
 p = m * v
 Where,
 m = mass
 v = speed.
 On the other hand,
 F = m * a
 Where,
 m = mass
 a = acceleration:
 For the boy we have:
 p1 = m * v
 p1 = (F / a) * v
 p1 = ((710) / (9.81)) * (0.50)
 p1 = 36.19 Kg * (m / s)
 For the girl we have:
 p2 = m * v
 p2 = (F / a) * v
 p2 = ((480) / (9.81)) * (v)
 p2 = 48.93 * v Kg * (m / s)
 Then, we have:
 p1 + p2 = 0
 36.19 + 48.93 * v = 0
 Clearing v:
 v = - (36.19) / (48.93)
 v = -0.74 m / s (negative because the velocity is in the opposite direction of the boy's)
 Answer:
 the girl's velocity in m / s after they push off is -0.74 m / s

What is the most useful meteorological measurement for forecasting freezing precipitation?
scoray [572]

The most useful meteorological measurement for forecasting freezing precipitation is b. radiosonde soundings

<h3>Radiosonde </h3>

At high altitudes, radiosondes are battery-powered telemetry sensor bundles that detect altitude, pressure, temperature, relative humidity, wind (both speed and direction), and cosmic ray measurements. They are commonly taken into the atmosphere by weather balloons.

Rawindsonde is an acronym for radar wind sonde, a type of radiosonde that tracks its position as it rises through the sky to provide wind speed and direction. Another type of radiosonde is one that falls to the ground after being released from an aircraft, as opposed to being carried by weather balloons. The term "dropsondes" is used to describe this group of radiosondes. The majority of operational atmospheric data assimilation methods depend heavily on radiosondes.
