Volcanoes come in different shapes, depending on the type of eruption. Shield volcanoes have shallow, sloping sides and are formed by very hot, runny lava that spreads over a wide area. The majority of the volcanoes that happen occur along the cracks in the lithosphere that mark the edges of the tectonic plates.

"A shield volcano is a type of volcano usually built almost entirely of fluid lava flows. They are named for their low profile, resembling a warrior's shield lying on the ground. This is caused by the highly fluid (low viscosity) lava they erupt which travels farther than lava erupted from stratovolcanoes."

7. Which of the following led to the collapse of the Soviet Union?

zmey [24]

Answer: A. Calls for independence from Eastern bloc nations

Explanation:

Mikhail Gorbachev was the last premier of the Soviet Union and he started a series of reforms which according to him, were meant to save the Soviet Union. He allowed for freedom of speech and multiple political parties.

The Eastern bloc nations of the Warsaw Pact interpreted this to mean that there was less chances of the Soviet Union interfering in their affairs and so demanded independence along with the Soviets that comprised the USSR. This led to the collapse of the Soviet Union.
