Answer:

a. do not flow as far from the vent as basaltic lavas do

Explanation:

Rhyolites are known as volcanic rocks. Volcanic rocks are rocks formed when magma(semi liquid) from the aesthenosphere solidifies on the surface of the earth crust. Rhyolites is regarded as an extrusive igneous rock since magma creeps or erupt to the surface of the earth forming lava. This lava later solidifies due to cooling.

Eruption of magma can produce this kind of rock. As magma erupt from volcanoes  it forms lava extending or spreading further not too far from the vent  . The lava that solidifies to form rhyolites are usually felsic.

Rhyolites lava is very viscous and flows very slowly due to the high silica contents. so because of it very slow movement it does not flow as far from the vent as less viscous basaltic lavas do.

How does ocean currents affect the climate of a continent?
Aleks [24]
The world’s ocean is crucial to heating the planet. While land areas and the atmosphere absorb some sunlight, the majority of the sun’s radiation is absorbed by the ocean. Particularly in the tropical waters around the equator, the ocean acts a as massive, heat-retaining solar panel. Earth’s atmosphere also plays a part in this process, helping to retain heat that would otherwise quickly radiate into space after sunset.
The ocean doesn't just store solar radiation; it also helps to distribute heat around the globe. When water molecules are heated, they exchange freely with the air in a process called evaporation. Ocean water is constantly evaporating, increasing the temperature and humidity of the surrounding air to form rain and storms that are then carried by trade winds, often vast distances. In fact, almost all rain that falls on land starts off in the ocean. The tropics are particularly rainy because heat absorption, and thus ocean evaporation, is highest in this area. Outside of Earth’s equatorial areas, weather patterns are driven largely by ocean currents. Currents are movements of ocean water in a continuous flow, created largely by surface winds but also partly by temperature and salinity gradients, Earth’s rotation, and tides (the gravitational effects of the sun and moon). Major current systems typically flow clockwise in the northern hemisphere and counterclockwise in the southern hemisphere, in circular patterns that often trace the coastlines. Ocean currents act much like a conveyer belt, transporting warm water and precipitation from the equator toward the poles and cold water from the poles back to the tropics. Thus, currents regulate global climate, helping to counteract the uneven distribution of solar radiation reaching Earth’s surface. Without currents, regional temperatures would be more extreme—super hot at the equator and frigid toward the poles—and much less of Earth’s land would be habitable.

Two problems caused by the creation of a weak national government
Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

Explanation:

The federal government, under the Articles, was too weak to enforce their laws and therefore had no power. The Continental Congress had borrowed money to fight the Revolutionary War and could not repay their debts. States had also fallen into debt and were raising taxes to pay off those debts

¿En qué países de Europa tendrán<br>mayores problemas debido a la disminución de población?
IgorC [24]

Answer:

The vast majority of European countries will have problems because of population decline, with the ones in the eastern half of the continent being more affected.

Explanation:

As a whole, Europe is a continent that is having big problems with population decline. Just three countries in the continent experience slight population growth, while all others either stagnate or experience a decline. Now when it comes to birthrates and death rates, the differences are minuscule across the continent, but migration is something that makes the difference better.

While both the western and eastern half have low birthrates, the western, richer side doesn't really lose population but has a rough stagnation. This is due to the fact that it is an attractive destination for migrants, including migrants from the poorer eastern half of Europe, so the numbers are relatively static. The eastern half of Europe though, not just has low birthrates, but it also losses a lot of its population because it migrates toward the western half in search of a better life. Also, it is not very attractive for migrants from other regions, so it experiences a rapid population decline. The two most extreme cases in the last three decades are Macedonia and Bulgaria, each losing roughly between 20 and 25% of their populations.
