What role does water play in the formation of stratovolcanoes?

Geography
1 answer:
g100num [7]3 years ago
3 0
The magma forming stratovolcanoes rises when water trapped both in hydrated minerals and in the porous basalt<span> rock of the upper oceanic crust is released into </span>mantle<span> rock of the </span>asthenosphere<span> above the sinking oceanic slab. The release of water from hydrated minerals is termed "dewatering", and occurs at specific pressures and temperatures for each mineral, as the plate descends to greater depths. The water freed from the rock lowers the </span>melting point<span> of the overlying mantle rock, which then undergoes partial melting and rises due to its lighter density relative to the surrounding mantle rock, and pools temporarily at the base of the </span>lithosphere<span>. </span>

If a single family residence is constructed on the cleared lot what processes will control the surface runoff from the lot
zzz [600]

Answer:

As the region is deforested, the topography, gravity, soil permeability and terrain slope will control the runoff, as well as the intensity of the rain.

Explanation:

Runoff occurs when water flows over a soil that is saturated, that is, soaked. What controls the runoff efficiently is the native vegetation of the place, however, when this area is cleared, the soil is completely at the mercy of saturation, causing the runoff to be controlled by topography, gravity, permeability of the soil and the slope of the terrain, as well as the intensity of the rain.
