Answer:

Option (C)

Explanation:

Tsunamis are defined as the series of waves that are produced in a large water body such as oceans and seas, due to the occurrence of an earthquake, underwater explosion as well as due to the eruption of a volcano.

The tsunami warning system is an instrument that is commonly used in order to detect the occurrence of a tsunami in advance and also to issue the warnings so that the loss of property and life can be reduced.

There is no tsunami warning system in the Indian ocean, as a result of which the people living in the near coastal areas were not warned. This is why the citizens were not prepared and thereby caused a lot of damages to the properties.

Thus, the correct answer is option (C).

35. What factor primarily controls the viscosity, and therefore the explosiveness of a magma? A. Dissolved gases B. Pressure C.
Rasek [7]

Answer:

E. Mineral content

Explanation:

Viscosity is an internal property of a fluid that offers resistance to flow, the nature of volcanic eruptions is highly dependent on magma viscosity and also on dissolved gas content (dissolved gases become trapped by thick magma and the magma chamber begins to build pressure).  

The viscosity of magma is controlled by the size of the molecules that comprise it.

<em>Felsic lava contains elements of small size (sodium and aluminum), these elements form polymers and large crystalline macromolecules like silica, the more extensive silicate chain molecules the more viscous the magma becomes, this happens because larger molecules have stronger  intermolecular bonds preventing movement and spreading. </em>

Mafic and ultramafic lava, on the other hand, have lower viscosities, also contain lower quantities of silica and aluminum and are rich in magnesium oxide, which does not form large molecular structures, therefore lava flows smoothly, unrestricted by intermolecular forces.  

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!
