Social Studies

Language is Symbolic. This characteristic holds that words have no meaning in themselves and are therefore, arbitrary.

Language is primarily comprised of sound symbols, with their graphological counterparts, and is used to refer to objects, occurrences, or to give meaning. The meaning of these symbols were initially arbitrarily assigned and chosen, and then became conventionally accepted and employed. The words in a language are therefore "symbols of meaning."

How do volcano cause erosion
lakkis [162]
A volcanic eruption produces lava, ash and gases. ... Volcanoes cause limited erosion directly; the underside of a new lava flow scours topsoil or loosely consolidated sediments. Volcanic eruptions are the indirect causes of substantial erosion through the action of volcanic debris on the atmosphere, land and water.
