Which of the following volcanoes would you expect to erupt explosively : A volcano located near a subduction zone, or a volcano

svp [43]

Answer:

The volcano over a mantle hotspot

Explanation:

I say this because lava comes from the grinding of those mantles, which melt rocks and make lava. If the mantles are super active, the lava will more than likely be explosive. Think of this (heat wise) as tea boiling in a kettle. The stove is the mantle, kettle as volcano and water as lava. When the mantles get hot enough they push that heat and pressure into the water, making it boil and when the steam starts to squeal out of the kettle, the volcano has erupted. Hope this helped!

Mass wasting refers to the downward movement of rocks, or broken fragments or sediments that are primarily caused due to the influence of gravity.

Moraine usually refers to the accumulation of sediments and rocks that are mixed with ice, and these are unsorted in nature and are deposited when these particles are carried downward by the movement of glaciers.

Striations can be simply defined as scratch marks or grooves that are formed when rock undergoes thrusting or faulting.

Global climate change, tectonic activity, asteroid impacts, and large volcanic eruptions are all factors that have led to ______

horsena [70]

Global climate change, tectonic activity, asteroid impacts, and large

volcanic eruptions are all factors that have led to Loss in the fossil record.

Climate change is the modification in the earth climate as a results of

humans and other interaction with the earth.

Climate change causes damages to earth morphology and indirectly

causes loss of fossil records.

Tectonic activity such as earth quakes and volcanic eruption are mostly

due to the interaction of earth lithospheric plates. This plates either diverge

or converge and causes modification of the earth lithosphere. This

modification causes loss of fossil record.

Asteroid are rocky object in the exosphere that cause massive impact in

the earth when they hit it. This event that destroys the earth causes loss in

fossil record.

Volcanic eruptions is when lava(semi liquid) and gas are released through

a volcano to the earth surface. They cause massive destruction to the earth

and invariably cause loss of fossil records.
