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>

Explanation:
Fist, the forces acting on the plate are tensional force which act away from each other.
When these forces act away from each other, they cause the place of their origin to stretch hence creating a new feature
Answer:
C. It formed the Great Lakes.
Explanation:
At the height of the last Ice Age, some 20,000 years ago, ice sheets in the northern hemisphere (Eurasia at the top, North America at the bottom) covered the largest area of the territory now known as North America. Scientists believe that the formation of the five Great Lakes was influenced by the movement of ice during the latest ice age.
Answer:
3.29ft/mi
Explanation:
The gradient of a river is the slope through which a river flows. It measures the vertical drop in elevation of river to the horizontal distance.
Mathematically;
River gradient = 
Elevation = 1229ft
Horizontal distance = 373miles
River gradient = 
= 3.29ft/mi
