Answer: Based off of the type of chemical reaction goes on in the lava before it explodes

Explanation:

There are  two main factors that influence how a volcano will erupt are viscosity and gas content. Both are related to the composition of the magma . Hawaiian volcanoes tend to erupt basalt , which is low in viscosity and low in gas content (about 0.5 weight percent).

Answer:

The volcanoes are an important feature often found on the surface of the earth. They are directly associated with the convergent and divergent type of plate boundary.

These eruptions of the volcano takes place either violently or quietly. This violent or silent explosive nature is determined by the following factors, such as-

  • Amount of silica content in the magma- If silica content is more, then the viscosity of magma is high and it flows sluggishly and is very violent in nature ejecting a lot of pyroclastic materials. Low viscosity magma flows easily and rapidly.
  • Amount of dissolved gas present in magma- When there is more amount of dissolved gas, then it is more violent releasing a large number of gases.
  • The temperature of magma- High-temperature magma are more violent than the low-temperature magma.

These are the main factors that describe if the eruption is explosive or not.

If the adhesive forces between a liquid and the walls of a capillary tube are greater than the cohesive forces within the liquid
olga_2 [115]

Answer:

Option A, the liquid level in a capillary tube will drop below the surrounding liquid and the surface in the capillary tube will have a convex meniscus.

Explanation:

A liquid will wet the surface of the container in which it is contained only when the adhesive forces between the molecules of the liquid are weaker than the adhesive force between the surface wall of the container and water.

A  convex meniscus is formed when the attractive forces between the molecules of liquid (cohesion) becomes greater than attractive forced between the water molecule and the container's surface (adhesion)

Convex meniscus simultaneously move the surface of the liquid in the downward direction due to which its level become lower than the surrounding layer.

Hence, option A is correct

All healthy, highly productive ecosystems provide which of these essential ecosystem services that involve gases in the atmosphe
madreJ [45]

Answer:

because

Explanation:

It is an Incomplete question and the complete question is

All healthy, highly productive ecosystems provide which of these essential ecosystem services that involve gases in the atmosphere?

A. increasing carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere by the action of plants and animals.

B. removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and storing carbon in the tissues of organisms.

C. removing water vapor from the atmosphere and using it to support plant growth.

D. removing methane from atmosphere and storing it's carbon and hydrogen in the tissues of organisms.

Answer:

The answer is removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and storing carbon in the tissues of organisms.

Explanation:

The water and carbon dioxide are byproducts and in which the photosynthesis removes CO2 from the atmosphere and replaces it with O2. In case of respiration it takes O2 from the atmosphere and places it with CO2.

To remove the CO2 it is directly put out of the air and burried it under ground saline aquifers this process is known as carbon capture and sequestration.

Sequestration is a process in which CO2 is removed from atmosphere and stored in the soil carbon pool. This process is mainly done through photosynthesis.
