Under similar warm, moist climatic conditions, why would basalt and gabbro generally have higher chemical weathering rates than

rhyolite and granite?
A) The quartz in the gabbro and basalt decomposes very quickly.
B) The ferromagnesian minerals in the gabbro and basalt are subject to oxidation and chemical breakdown.
C) The plagioclase feldspars in the granite and rhyolite decompose readily to clay minerals and iron oxides.
D) The potassium feldspars and quartz in the rhyolite and granite are more susceptible to cracking by frost wedging.

What is a destructive wave
vredina [299]

Answer:

  1. constructive waves are the waves that build up the beaches.
  • They have a large 'swash', which means they can carry deposits of sand and other materials far up the beach.

   2. On the other hand, destructive waves are much larger and more

       powerful, and are mostly made during a storm.

  • The backwash is more effective than the swash in moving material, and waves having this character are usually steep and associated with onshore winds. #answerwithquality #BAL

describe different types of volcanoes, how do they form? can volcanoes change the climate if so how? can volcanic eruptions be p
satela [25.4K]

Answer:

There are mainly 4 types of volcanoes.

Explanation:

1. Cinder cones: They are a bowl-shaped crater,  build from particle or blobs of congealed lava that is ejected from a single gas vent, as the air is broken into small fragments that are solidified and falls as cinders.

2. Composite volcanoes: stratovolcano or composite cone are those that form a steep-sided, symmetrical cone of large dimensions built around by lavas. Some examples are Mount Shasta in California, Mount Hood in Oregon.

3. Lava domes: There internal structure is defined by bulbous masses of lava, that are too vicious.

4. Shield volcanoes: These are built entirely by fluid lava, and flow p[ours in all directions.

A volcano can change its surrounding weather patterns but not the climate of a place as a climatic zone is composed of stable and static atmosphere like that of poles, tropics, and temperate lands, etc.  

Not all volcanic eruptions can be predicted successfully as they are also triggered by an earthquake and the active or dominant type of volcano can be identified based on its previous eruption patterns.
