Answer:

Explanation:

The three main types of volcanoes are as follows:

1. Composite volcanoes: These are also called as strato volcanoes. These are steep and formed by the layers of ashes and lava. The eruption from these volcanoes is in the form of pyroclastic flow. The pyroclastic flow is in the form of superheated mixture which consists of rock dust, ash, and hot steam. These volcanoes can rise above the 8000 feet. These are found in the destructive plate margins. Example of these volcanoes include the Mount Fuji in Japan.

2. Shield Volcanoes: These volcanoes are low and they have gentle sloping sides. These are formed by the layers of lava. Their eruption of lava is non-explosive. These produces the fast flowing fluids that can flow to many miles. These can destroy the nearby surrounding regions can cause injury and even death. These volcanoes are found in the region of constructive boundaries and also at the volcanic hotspots. The examples of shield volcanoes include the Maunaloa on Hawaii.

3. Dome volcanoes: These are also called as acid lava cones as these emit acid which is much thicker than that of the lava. These have steeper sides as compared to the shield volcanoes. The lava is thick and sticky as a result of this it cannot flow to far region and it cools and solidifies. The example of dome volcanoes include the Puy de Dome of Auvergne, France.

People living in the Sahel region in countries such as the Sudan, Chad, and neighboring Ethiopia suffer from undernourishment, d
olganol [36]

Answer: Please refer to Explanation

Explanation:

Undernourishment

This is defined as being unable to take the required amount of food and nutrients for energy that the body needs per day. This has to have gone on for a year for it to be classified as Undernourishment.

Desertification

This refers to a situation where land that was once fertile looses that fertility and instead begins to become more desert like. This is very prevalant in the Sahel region of Africa and can be caused by droughts and inefficient farming practices.

Food Security

This is defined as the access to sufficient, safe, and nutritious food at all times needed to be able to sustain the human body by meeting the minimum amount of recommended energy that the body requires to function.

The Sahel is an area immediately south of the Sahara Desert. It is semi-arid in nature and is prone to prolonged periods of drought.

When this drought occurs it tends to cause soil that was once fertile to begin to turn into a desert like soil due to the soil not getting water for such a prolonged period of time.

When there is a lot of fertile land used for farming lost to desertification then the people in those areas cannot farm and get food needed to survive. This causes Food Security issues because people do not have access to food that they require to survive.

Should this happen and the people there go through Food security crisis, they will become undernourished as they are unable to take the recommended amount of food necessary.

Answer:

Explanation:

The three main rock types are igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary. The three processes that change one rock to another are crystallization, metamorphism, and erosion and sedimentation. Any rock can transform into any other rock by passing through one or more of these processes. This creates the rock cycle.
