Using the choices below, select the statement that best explains how dissolved gases drive volcanic eruptions. A. Decreases in c

onfining pressure result in decreasing viscosity of the magma, allowing the magma to ooze from the volcano. B. Confining pressure decreases on a rising magma, allowing gas bubbles to expand and fracture the magma. This process further decreases pressure on the magma and will result in an explosive event. C. As the magma rises, gas bubbles contract, fragmenting the material and expelling it from the vent. D. As the magma rises, gases reduce silicate mineral chains by breaking silicon-oxygen bonds; the result is an explosion.

Answer:  B. Confining pressure decreases on a rising magma, allowing gas bubbles to expand and fracture the magma. This process further decreases pressure on the magma and will result in an explosive event.

Explanation: The bubbles inside the magma are responsible for making it bubble to the surface of the earth crust and the explosion that follows. As magma rises to the surface of the earth, it absorbs gases and water vapor which forms bubbles in the magma. As the pressure decreases in the magma, it causes these bubbles to increase. When the rise of magma cannot keep up with he growth in the bubbles, there is an explosive eruption to the surface.  Compare this to shaking a Coca Cola bottle before opening it.

If the magma rise keeps us with the gas bubbles, the eruption is not explosive.

What are the effects of acid rain polluting the great lakes
Andrej [43]

Answer:

The ecological effects of acid rain are most clearly seen in aquatic environments, such as streams, lakes, and marshes where it can be harmful to fish and other wildlife. As it flows through the soil, acidic rain water can leach aluminum from soil clay particles and then flow into streams and lakes.

A population density map of the world shows that the distribution of people is most obviously affected by
antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

Option (A)

Explanation:

A population density map is used to define as a map that shows the presence of a number of the population existing in any particular area. It directly reflects the dispersion of people that are mainly affected by environmental factors. This includes the variable amount of natural resources present in that area, the type of climate prevailing, the topography of the area and the availability of water resources.

The places which are rich in resources and low lying areas, with plenty of water resources and moderate type of climate are comprised of high-density population. On the other hand, the places which are highly elevated, lack of resources and extreme cold and hot climate are comprised of a lesser population.

Thus, the correct answer is option (A).
