Right or wrong... what process was attributed to the phreatic or steam-driven violent eruption of Kilauea in 1924

History

abruzzese [7]3 years ago

Answer: c. Phreatic eruption caused by the heating and expansion of groundwater.

Explanation:

The Kilauea is an active volcano in Hawaii that erupted very violently due to the buildup of steam in 1924. Lava from the volcano usually drains back to the main magma body beneath the sea via a sort of passage. When this happens, water is able to enter the passage and instantly become steam when it interacts with the lava and escape up the volcano.

This time however, when the lava drained, the walls of the passage collapsed on the passage thereby blocking it. The water that had now come into contact with the lava and had become steam were trapped. The steam kept building up and eventually forced the rocks outward very violently resulting in the explosion.

Why was Portugal able to take an early lead in the exploration of the Indian Ocean? How did such a tiny country gain supremacy o
ddd [48]

In 1479, at the end of the Castilian War of Succession, which involved Portugal against the Catholic Monarchs, the Treaty of Alcáçovas was signed and a period of rapproachement between Spain and Portugal began. The text also settled several pending territorial issues between the two Crowns: the Canary Islands belonged by right to Castile; the Kingdom of Fez, the Azores and Madeira islands, Cape Verde, Guinea and the right of navegation beyond the Canaries, were recognized to Portugal.

For that reason, when being the Portuguese territories to the east of the Spanish ones, their explorations continued in that direction. This is how, bordering the African continent, the Portuguese explorers reached the Indian Ocean, where they formed colonies dedicated to expand their trade.

Portugal created small commercial bases in several points of Africa and the Indian Ocean, obtaining presence in the most important commercial routes of that tim, and began to charge those who passed through its colonies.

Portugal lost its power when, in 1581 in the middle of a dynasty crisis, the Spanish Crown came to the Portuguese throne. However, in 1668 Portuguese sovereignity over its territory was restored.

Portugal continued administrating colonies until 1970.
