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.

Describe the importance of agriculture to the people of Central America. Why is the Green Bay society often bad for the country?
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:Roman Agriculture describes the farming practices of ancient Rome, an era that lasted 1000 years. From humble beginnings, the Roman Republic (509 BCE to 27 BCE) and empire (27 BCE to 476 CE) expanded to rule much of Europe, northern Africa, and the Middle East and thus comprised a large number of agricultural environments of which the Mediterranean climate of dry, hot summers and cool, rainy winters was the most common. Within the Mediterranean area, a triad of crops was most important: grains, olives, and grapes.

The great majority of the people ruled by Rome were engaged in agriculture. From a beginning of small, largely self-sufficient landowners, rural society became dominated by latifundium, large estates owned by the wealthy and utilizing mostly slave labor. The growth in the urban population, especially of the city of Rome, required the development of commercial markets and long-distance trade in agricultural products, especially grain, to supply the people in the cities with food.
