Answer:

b. The death toll from volcanic eruptions do not always correlate to exclusivity, and can be affected by human actions before and after the eruption.

Explanation:

Many volcanic eruptions don't kill anyone. This is because most active volcanoes are well-known to local residents, who give them appropriate respect.

Lahars are deadly, but so are pyroclastic flows, and releases of ash and/or poison gases. The two deadliest eruptions in recorded history caused death by starvation and tsunami.

The point of the paragraph was that the VEI was <em>not</em> directly related to the number of deaths.

When will the waves at the shore be the smallest and calmest?
xeze [42]

Answer:

When the wind is not blowing

Explanation:

Wave moves from one place to another when a force is applied by the wind on the surface of water. So, when a tide comes or recedes then it means a force is applied by wind, movement of earth etc.

Therefore, a sound will also produce due to the movement of these waves and also there will be some height of the waves.

Hence, this means that upwelling of wave, receding or coming of tide will be high and not calm.

Whereas when no wind is blowing then water will move very slightly. Therefore, in that case the waves at the shore be the smallest and calmest.
