<span>Small jagged pieces of rocks, minerals, and volcanic glass the size of sand and silt (less than 2 millimeters (1/12 inch) in diameter) erupted by a volcano are called volcanic ash. Very small ash particles can be less than 0.001 millimeters (1/25,000th of an inch) across.</span>

What are tectonic plates
kvasek [131]

Answer:

la respuesta es que te acaban de apuntar

Explanation:

Plate tectonics is a scientific theory describing the large-scale motion of the plates making up Earth's lithosphere since tectonic processes began on Earth between 3.3 and 3.5 billion years ago. The model builds on the concept of continental drift, an idea developed during the first decades of the 20th century

The Mt. St Helens eruption in Washington state m 1980 measured 5 on the volcanic exclusivity index (VEI). Only 57 people died fr
Crank

Answer:

b. The death toll from volcanic eruptions do not always correlate to exclusivity, and can be affected by human actions before and after the eruption.

Explanation:

Many volcanic eruptions don't kill anyone. This is because most active volcanoes are well-known to local residents, who give them appropriate respect.

Lahars are deadly, but so are pyroclastic flows, and releases of ash and/or poison gases. The two deadliest eruptions in recorded history caused death by starvation and tsunami.

The point of the paragraph was that the VEI was <em>not</em> directly related to the number of deaths.

Mt. redoubt’s seismic activity is due to the interaction of which two tectonic plates
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

Correct answer is: Due to interaction between Pacific and North American plate.

Explanation:

Mountain Redoubt is located in south Alaska. Mentioned mountain is in the vicinity of convergent plate boundary between North American and Pacific plate.

Convergent boundary means that those plates are <em>colliding</em>. One plate always slides beneath another, and in this case Pacific plate slides beneath North American. Area of collision is known as subduction zone.

Pacific plate is oceanic plate, and North American is continental plate. Oceanic plates <u>always slides</u> beneath continental ones. Reason for that is due to their density. Oceanic plates are denser, so they go under continental ones.

Pacific and North American plate interaction is typicall oceanic-continetal boundary where <em>earthquakes</em> (seismic activity) and <em>active volcanoes</em> are common. Some of the strongest earthquakes happened in this area. That was in 1964 in Prince William Sound in the south coast of Alaska. Magnitude was 9.2M, second strongest quake ever recorded in world's history.
