Geography

<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.

What would be evidence for increased temperature affecting plant species in a mountainous region?
earnstyle [38]

If the temperatures are increasing in a mountainous region, in order to be sure in that, the evidence can simply be obtained by the vegetation. The mountains tend to be warmer at the lower parts, and as the elevation increases, the temperature decreases. If it is a higher mountain, then we will see that there is certain type of vegetation in the lower parts, above it a belt of another vegetation type, above that one there's usually a belt of grasses, and the highest parts are usually with little to no vegetation. If the temperature increases though, then the vegetation from the bottom will start moving upwards, occupying larger portion, the second layer will move upwards as well, and the grasses will come around the top part of the mountain, with the barren part disappearing from the scene.

The comet cools down and begins to glow brightly as a result of this decreased temperature. true/false
Maslowich
The statement; “The comet cools down and begins to glow brightly as a result of this decreased temperature.” is considered false. Study shows that comets can be seen because their comas and tails reflect the light from the sun or would usually glow as they absorb energy from the sun. Comets are provided with energy from the Sun , so its movement is always away from the Sun.
