<u> Answer: </u>

Large volumes of A'A' lava causes the steep slopes of stratovolcanoes (composite cones).

<u>Explanation:</u>

The A'A' lava has a rapid flow rate and bears a very high viscosity. This viscosity which is already low enhances as the lava flows rapidly and loses heat at a high pace. This combined action of A'A' lava ceases it from spreading on large areas and results in the formation of steep slopes. The Pahoehoe lava can also act like A'A' lava if the slopes are already steep.

makvit [3.9K]
The Guayas River flows through Guyaquil, which is the largest city in Ecuador. However, it is not the capital city, which is Quito. The Guayas River has it's name, because it flows through the Guayas province. The Guayas River does not flow into any ocean or sea. Guayaquil is also the most populated in Ecuador. The city underwent relatively recently an "urban renegation" to attract more tourists to that particular region of Ecuador. This was also to help boost the economy, since at the moment it mostly consists of small and medium businesses, agriculture and aquaculture.
