Answer:

It acts as a weed killer by blocking photosynthesis

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is important to plants because it is their principal form of energy.

When DCMU is introduced to weeds, what it does is to block or slow down the process of photosynthesis. Carbon dioxide fixation is slowed down causing weeds to die off. DCMU strongly slows down photosystem II. When this is done, lipid and protein membranes would get destroyed and the weed cells would begin to dry and shed off

Why are cinder cones short-lived?
Reptile [31]

Usually the lava flows come towards the end of the eruption, once the magma has lost enough of its volatiles to flow more quietly. Cinder cone eruptions are comparatively short lived, and thus cinder cones are much smaller features than stratovolcanoes and shield volcanoes (usually no more than a mile at the base).
