Answer:

Option (B)

Explanation:

Lahar is usually defined as a mudflow comprised of volcanic materials mixed with water. It transports volcanic rock fragments of size ranging from smaller ashes to big boulders, and extends to a large distance, up to several miles, as it flows down along the slope of a stratovolcano.

Lahars can be generated with or without the eruption of a volcano.  

During a volcanic eruption, lahars can be generated by the melting of the snow and ice particles. It can also be produced by ejecting water from a crater type of lake. In addition to this, lahars are also produced by the Pyroclastic flows which are extremely hot and as it flows down along the steeper slope, it melts the snow and ice.

This can cause great damages to an area, and also kills many people. In the given condition, the occurrence of lahar has affected the town of Electron in Washington.

Thus, the correct answer is option (B).

andrezito [222]

The viewpoint of older residents would be one of not much complaint because they would be happy to get out of their industrial cities.

A well-educated middle-class couple with children would be very disappointed and angry with the resort's services because their education allows them to know they are getting less than they paid for.

<h3>What happens in the stagnation stage?</h3>

In the stagnation stage, a resort will no longer be as good as it used to be and competition will threaten it. Public services will be more expensive as less people come and quality of life will decrease.

Older residents would still appreciate the resort because they are more used to hardship and will appreciate relaxing a little.

Well-educated middle-class people would be angry with the poor service because they know they should be offered better for the money they paid.
