Volcanoes located at subduction zones tend to release lava high in _________ content.

Geography
1 answer:
gregori [183]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

b. silica

Explanation:

The majority of the volcanoes that form at subduction zones, or convergent plate boundaries, are stratovolcanoes. These volcanoes are also called composite volcanoes. The stratovolcanoes are known to have high to intermediate silica content of the lava they release. The eruptions tend to be periodic, and they are explosive and effusive in general, though there are exceptions. The fact that the lava is high to intermediate in silica content means that the lava is medium to highly viscous. Because of this, the lava tends to trap the gases in it, and as it reaches the surface and the temperature and pressure sharply change, the gases explode, resulting in eruptions that have lot of explosions and propelling of pyroclastic material.

What about drought and desertification​
DochEvi [55]

Drought and desertification are closely related phenomena. Persisting over months or years, drought can affect large areas and may have serious environmental, social and economic impacts. While drought is a natural phenomenon, whose impacts can be exacerbated by human activities that are not adapted to the local climate, land degradation is the process of turning fertile land into less or non-productive land. In extreme cases in drylands this is called desertification. Land degradation and desertification are complex phenomena driven by un-adapted human activity in combination with land and climatic constraints. Inappropriate land use, such as monocultures, and unsustainable land management practices, such as deforestation, unsuitable agricultural practices and overexploitation of water resources), can cause land degradation that can be further aggravated by drought.
