Answer:

Lava is the magma expelled during a volcanic eruption. In other words, magma changes its name to lava when it comes to the surface. The molten rock reaches scorching temperatures, exceeding 1500ºC.

When lava gets in contact with surface elements such as air and water, it cools and hardens, forming what is known as igneous rock.

Details:

The rhyolite lava weighs less and has a lighter color than basalt. It is very thick, so it flows very slowly. It eventually condenses around the cavity from which it emerged, often forming a deposit called a lava dome. When it cools rapidly, it can form a natural glass called obsidian.

When lava flows into the sea, it is rapidly cooled by water. When solidified under water, it resembles a pile of pillows, so it is known by the name of pillow lava.

Saint-Domingue (Haiti) was prosperous because of revenue earned from
Rasek [7]

Answer:

Saint-Domingue (Haiti) was prosperous because of revenue earned from sugar.

Explanation:

When the Europeans came to Haiti, the native people lived in a simple way and were relatively isolated from their surroundings, let alone the world. The Europeans though thought that this place has big potential, especially in farming. What the Europeans had on mind was to create large plantations with sugar cane, thus produce sugar and make a profit out of it.

While the Europeans were not many in number, and the native population was decimated, a lot of African slaves were brought as a labor force for the plantations. The wet tropical climate enabled high-scale production of sugar cane, and with sugar becoming increasingly popular and being paid well for, the Europeans earned a lot from the trade. Haiti actually became a very prosperous island, and that was strictly down to the production of sugar cane and sugar from it.
