Eruption with low silica tends to be nonexplosive. The type of lava is Basaltic, flows easily because of low viscosity (low gas content- originates in the mantle). This type of lava comes from shield volcanoes (low angle slopes and gentle)- eg. Manua Loa Volcano and Hawaii.
All of the known planets in our solar system are nearly spherical.

The latitude of the Tropic of Capricorn is 23°26'11.8'' south of the Equator, while the location of the Tropic of Capricorn is shifting northward at a rate of 15 meters annually.
Answer:
c. Chemical weathering
Explanation:
One of the famous landmarks in New York City is "The Statue of Liberty." It was built in<em> 1886</em> as a gift to the Americans from France.
The statue is covered with<em> copper sheets</em>, thus, it used to have a brown color. However, over time, the color turned into greenish-blue. This is because<u> the copper sheets underwent chemical weathering</u>. Such process occurred as a result of the reaction of copper with Oxygen in the air and with water. It produced<em> "copper carbonate,"</em> which is<em> greenish-blue</em> in color. Such color was noticeable in<em> </em>1900<em>, </em>but it covered the entire statue in <em>1906.</em>
