Eruptions emitted through elongate cracks at the surface, as opposed to through the vents of volcanic cones, are termed ________
Elza [17]

Answer:

Fissure eruptions

Explanation:

A fissure vent or eruption fissure is a linear volcanic vent from which lava erupts mostly without explosive activity. The vent is usually not very wide but can be very long stretching for miles. While they do not explode like many volcanic cones do, fissure vents can cause large flood basalts. After some time the eruption builds up spatter cones and may concentrate on one or some of them. Spatter cones are steep-sided hills that consist of welded lava fragments that are called spatter and these cones form around vents.

How is Earth's surface mapped?<br> PLEAS HELP
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

Maps and globes are drawn to scale and use symbols to represent topography and other features on Earth's surface. Grid lines on maps and globes are often used, with lines curving because the Earth is a sphere. The baselines for measuring distance on Earth are the equator and the Prime Meridian. Satellites are also often used as a mean to graph.

PLEASE HELP!!!
Musya8 [376]

Answer:

c) The planetoid is being attracted toward another massive object.

Explanation:

We can rule out a, the planetoid is travelling through space, friction is effectively nonexistent. B can be ruled out as well, as there is nothing in space that could naturally repel a planetoid. D is also implausible, as the question says the planetoid slows down for a certain period in its orbit, suggesting this behavior is repeated. Option c is incredibly likely, as the planetoid is far from the sun, a large mass, possibly far smaller than the sun but also far closer to the planetoid, could have the effect described in the question.
