Lava flows are the least hazardous of all processes in volcanic eruptions. How far a lava flow travels depends on the flows temperature, silica content, extrusion rate, and slope of the land. A cold lava flow will not travel far and neither will one that has a high silica content. Such a flow would have a high viscosity<span> (a high resistance to flow). A basalt flow like those in Hawai'i have low silica contents and low viscosities so they can flow long distances. Such a flow can move as far away as 4 km from its source and have a thickness of 10 m (Bryant, 1991). These flows can move at rates of several kilometers per hour (Scott, 1989). </span><span>More silica-rich flows can move as far away as 1.3 km from their sources and have thicknesses of 100 m (Bryant, 1991). These flows can move at rates of a few to hundreds of meters per hour (Scott, 1989). If a lava flow is channelized or travels underground in a lava tube then the distance it travels is greatly extended.</span>
Erosion, deposition, and weathering
An atmospheric discharge of static electricity is called lightning.
The story goes that Benjamin Franklin invented
lightning rods to
protect buildings from lightning.
Answer:
C. its dominant religion is Christianity
Explanation:
<u>The major religion of Ethiopia is Christianity, which is different from most of the other countries in northeastern Africa. </u>Somalia, Egypt, Sudan, Djibouti – all of these countries in the region have Islam as the main religion.
Ethiopia, however, has around 65% of Christians, making it the most widespread religion in the country.
The history of Christianity in Ethiopia goes back to the 3rd century AD. <u>The majority of people belong to the Orthodox church which is the largest and oldest in the country</u>. Christian population mostly lives in the northern part of the country where many wonderful, unique, and old Christian churches can be found.
Well, Ecuador is a country filled with rainforests, which occur where it rains a lot, the western side of mountain ranges, where storms build up and stall, and it could be during el nino, which means a large abnormal amount of storms in pacific tropical areas.
