Answer:

The correct answer is b. Ebola and Lassa are both caused by viruses.

Lassa fever is caused by a virus known as Lassa virus which comes under the Arenavirus family. Lassa virus is mainly spread through rodents especially rats of genus mastomys because they carry this virus and contaminate the food by urination and feces. In west African countries Lassa fever is an endemic disease.

Ebola is a deadly disease caused by Ebola virus. It is also referred to as hemorrhagic fever virus because it leads to internal bleeding, therefore, it causes severe tissue damage and inflammation.

Which of the following is a true statement about lava that contains large amounts of dissolved gases? Lava that produces violent
anygoal [31]

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>The dissolved gases produce violent eruption as they escape. </em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Magma contains dissolved gases and these dissolved gases induce vapor <em>pressure on the magma.</em> The magma is able to remain in the dissolved state itself without erupting because this vapor pressure is less than the confining pressure of the <em>rock surrounding the magma. </em>

One the vapor pressure exceeds this confining pressure the dissolved gases begin to  expand and<em> forms small gas bubbles</em>.

The <em>density of these gas bubbles</em> called vesicles is less than the density of magma and thus naturally tries to push out. When the gas bubbles escape the magma is also pushed out. Thus greater <em>amount of dissolved gases result in violent eruptions. </em>
