Geography

Feliz [49]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

b) Magma B

Explanation:

The magma that forms a basalt plateau or a shield volcano is a mafic (basaltic) magma. This magma is low in viscosity, making it very liquid, so when there's an eruption there's lava flows coming down the slopes like rivers, moving relatively fast. This type of magma has low content of silica, which is the reason why it is low in viscosity. The low viscosity also contributes to very small amount of gases in the magma, as the gases can escape from it very easily so they do not come in a situation to be trapped. The low amount of gases means that the volcanoes with this type of magma have calm eruptions, and explosive eruptions are either nonexistent, or extremely rare.

Explain what a subduction zone is and how it relates to volcanic activity and earthquakes.​
a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

A subduction zone is a region in which an oceanic tectonic plate slides beneath a continental plate. This action creates volcanic islands and volcanoes along the coasts of continents. It can also generate large earthquakes. If these earthquakes occur offshore in the ocean, they may even generate a tsunami. The oceanic plate also melts during the subduction process, becoming molten rock. This molten material can then push to the surface during volcanic activity.
