Lava flows are the least hazardous of all processes in volcanic eruptions. How far a lava flow travels depends on the flows temperature, silica content, extrusion rate, and slope of the land. A cold lava flow will not travel far and neither will one that has a high silica content. Such a flow would have a high viscosity<span> (a high resistance to flow). A basalt flow like those in Hawai'i have low silica contents and low viscosities so they can flow long distances. Such a flow can move as far away as 4 km from its source and have a thickness of 10 m (Bryant, 1991). These flows can move at rates of several kilometers per hour (Scott, 1989). </span><span>More silica-rich flows can move as far away as 1.3 km from their sources and have thicknesses of 100 m (Bryant, 1991). These flows can move at rates of a few to hundreds of meters per hour (Scott, 1989). If a lava flow is channelized or travels underground in a lava tube then the distance it travels is greatly extended.</span>
The average temperature of Earth given the solar irradiance is 238.4K.
<h3>How to calculate the temperature?</h3>
The following can be deduced from the information:
Let Earth's albedo =α =0.33
Radius of sun ( Rs) =6.955×10⁵
Value of Boltzmann constant= 5.67×10-⁸
L= 1350
T = average temperature
L= 4σ (Te)⁴ / (1-α)
1 - 0.33 = 4 × 5.67×10-⁸×(T)⁴ / 1350
0.67 × 1350 = 0.0000002268*(T)⁴
(T)⁴ = 3230357142.9
T = 238.4 k
In conclusion, the temperature is 238.4K.
<u>Complete question:</u>
Calculate the average temperature of Earth where the solar irradiance (L) is 1350W/m² and the albedo of Earth is 0.33. Consider Earth to be a perfect black body and the Stefan - Bollzmann constant to be 5.67 × 10^-8 W.

Answer:
A. is the answer
Explanation:
The hammer in the first position is raised and ready to hit the nail on the head. This is called potential energy. It has a lot of energy stored inside of it but it won't get used until we allow it to hit the nail. That is why it is not kinetic energy but only potential. Think of it just as when we say something has the potential to do something.
Answer: B.
Explanation:
I believe it is B. because the population hasn't had much of an increase and in the next 50 years I think it will still be the same from now till 50 years.
In general, physical weathering from temperature changes is most common on the shorelines, because waves are able to take down rocks that have been weathers. They would be least noticeable inland, in desert areas with little forestation.
