Answer:

A. It contains fewer volatile gases.

Explanation:

Mafic lava have a composition of about 45-55% silica with high amount of Fe, Mg, Ca.

The silica content is quite low compared to those of granitic magma whose silica content can reach up to about 60%.

What determines the viscosity of magma is basically the silica content of the magma and the temperature of the magma. Viscosity is the resistance to flow.

The higher the silica content, the lower the viscosity and the higher the amount of volatile gases. Such type of magma is the granitic magma. Granitic magma due to their viscosity flows slowly.

The lower the silica content, the higher the viscosity and the lesser the presence of volatile gases in them. Such an example is Mafic magma. Mafic magma flows very slowly with low amount of dissolved gases.

Answer:

A. It contains fewer volatile gases

Explanation:

The mafic lava is a lava type that has low viscosity. The reason for that is its composition, being very rich in magnesium and iron. Because this type of lava is low in viscosity, it is unable to contain the majority of the gases and water in it, as they find it relatively easy to ''escape'' from it. That results in much calmer eruptions of the volcanoes that produce mafic magma, with explosions almost never occurring, and even if they do they are very small.

Science for environment health peace and equity​
zhenek [66]

Environment:

Science helps the environment because it creates an understanding between human impacts and the environment. By gaining this understanding of how the natural world works, the human race will better know how to protect it. In addition, scientific research is being used to reduce the impact of global warming, adapt to climate change, clean up polluted areas, and protect our own health.  

Health:

Science can be used to improve global health because it fuels discovery, informs the public on  health risks and programs, and helps all people live healthier and better lives. People with physical and mental health can benefit greatly from a variety of health sciences that specialize in their specific ailment. There have also been improvements in the technology used in health such as sanitation, vaccinations, and monitoring systems. By enabling doctors to do minimally invasive surgeries and using more comfortable scanning equipment, patients spend less time recuperating and can spend more time doing what they enjoy.

Peace:

It is my opinion that communication is the main way that science influences peace. Scientists from all over the world collaborate in an unbiased way to focus on one main goal, to deliver scientific breakthroughs to people regardless of religion, race and culture. Furthermore, science contributes to the social and economic development in a society (such as GDP, life expectancy, and literacy), reduction of poverty (through new was to meet basic needs for food, clothing, and shelter), and inspires a newfound peace mindset.

Equity:

Peace is a strong piece of science and, therefore, equity. Science is heavily rooted in the creation of new knowledge, the improvement of education, and the improvement of the quality of human life regardless of bias. Because of this, science can be used to research and find ways to solve pressing issues like racial and economic inequity. Learning of science in schools also has an impact on equity by teaching children the basis of our world and how to understand in order to gain skills that lead to better economic and social outcomes.
