<u>Answer</u>:

Freeze and thaw action causes the rocks to crack and split in a cold region.

<u>Explanation</u>:

Rocks in the cold regions appeared to be cracked and look like it is splited out. The frost action which occurred in the cold regions has been accumulated in the rock gaps in the winter season. During summer season, these accumulated ice underwent the melting process and the soluble water affect the chemical composition of rocks followed by the winter season. These water particles get converted in to ice and create the fracture which is seen in the rocks and this action physically weakens the rocks.

Eruptions emitted through elongate cracks at the surface, as opposed to through the vents of volcanic cones, are termed ________
Elza [17]

Answer:

Fissure eruptions

Explanation:

A fissure vent or eruption fissure is a linear volcanic vent from which lava erupts mostly without explosive activity. The vent is usually not very wide but can be very long stretching for miles. While they do not explode like many volcanic cones do, fissure vents can cause large flood basalts. After some time the eruption builds up spatter cones and may concentrate on one or some of them. Spatter cones are steep-sided hills that consist of welded lava fragments that are called spatter and these cones form around vents.

5x+2y=-11 and 2x+2y=5​
Lisa [10]

Answer:

x=-16/3 and y =47/6

Explanation:

Subtract the 2 equations to eliminate the variable y

2x+2y=5​

-(5x+2y=-11)

---------------

-3x=16

Divide by -3 on both sides

x= -16/3

Plug -16/3 in for x in the first equation to find y

2x+2y=5

2(-16/3)+2y=5

Multiply

-32/3+2y=5

Add 32/3 to both sides

2y=47/3

Divide both sides by 2

y=47/6

x=-16/3 and y =47/6

Hope this helps! :)
