Answer:

Conditions at the base of a glacier increase glacial flow velocity -

Steeper slope

Smooth rock / glacier contact

Colder basal water temperature.

Explanation:

Steeper slope and smooth rock/glacier contact will increase glacial flow velocity because higher the steepness higher the velocity and smoothness will apply less friction.

Due to decrease in ice thickness the load at the bottom of the glacier will decrease, and we know that the glacier flows under the load of itself, so lesser the load lesser the velocity.

Colder basal water temperature will generate less amount of melt as compared to warmer basal water temperature, so in colder condition, glacial flow velocity will not be increased.

kirill [66]
The correct answer is<span> A composite volcano, rhyolitic magma, and plinian explosion

</span> What composite means is that there was a lot of lava around it that cooled and overtime the more lava there was the more it layered around and created the comoposite volcano. That is because there's a lot of lava at its eruption. The violent explosion is plinian because it goes high into the air with a lot of smoke and matter in it.
