The correct answer is - flat surfaces.

The flat surfaces are the safest ground where the mass movements of soil and other material are least likely to appear. This is due to the flatness itself. Every mass movement is going downwards, and that is a result of the gravitational pull, but on the flat surfaces the gravitational pull functions as a protector of the soil because it is all flat, and it is pulling downwards, thus the soil and the other material are stable in the place where they are and will for sure not be moving sideways.

Label the four great lakes that form part of the border between canada and the united states
larisa [96]

Answer:

Lake Superior

Lake Huron

Lake Erie

Lake Ontario

Explanation:

The Great Lakes region is located in the northernmost part of the United States and the southernmost part of Canada. There are five large lakes in this region, Superior, Huron, Michigan, Erie, and Ontario, and apart from Michigan, the other four make up part of the border between the United States and Canada. All of these large lakes are glacial lakes, being formed from the melting ice at the end of the last Ice Age. At present, these lakes are very important for this region because they provide lot of fish, easy traveling and transport, make the climate milder. This has resulted in the building of multiple large cities on the shores, as they had all the basic things needed for economic development.

What kind of eruption is likely to occur in a volcano having magma that is low in silica? Explain your answer.
o-na [289]
Eruption with low silica tends to be nonexplosive. The type of lava is Basaltic, flows easily because of low viscosity (low gas content- originates in the mantle). This type of lava comes from shield volcanoes (low angle slopes and gentle)- eg. Manua Loa Volcano and Hawaii.

<h2>The following are the events in a story of how people have interacted with a landscape put into chronological order: </h2><h2> </h2>

1. Dense forest with large trees on steep hills: There were steep hills covered by forests made by large trees. The roots of these trees ceased soil erosion from happening.

2. Hand logging near lakes: People began to cut trees for wood but the pace was not as fact.

3. Mechanized logging throughout hills: Techniques of mechanized logging were developed and which helped in clearing the trees from over the hills within months.

4. Erosion fills lakes with silt: Clearing of forests from over the hills caused soil erosion and the silt from the hills flowed down with rainwater runoff.
