A rainbow is caused by sunlight and atmospheric conditions.

Explanation:

A rainbow is formed when light (generally sunlight) passes through water droplets hanging in the atmosphere. The light waves change direction as they pass through the water droplets, resulting in two processes: reflection and refraction. When light reflects off a water droplet, it simply bounces back in the opposite direction from where it originated. When light refracts, it takes a different direction. Some individuals refer to refracted light as “bent light waves.” A rainbow is formed because white light enters the water droplet, where it bends in several different directions. When these bent light waves reach the other side of the water droplet, they reflect back out of the droplet instead of completely traversing the water. Since the white light is separated inside of the water, the refracted light appears as separate colors to the human eye.

Have a nice day!!

The magma most likely form a basalt plateau or shield volcano is
Feliz [49]

Answer:

b) Magma B

Explanation:

The magma that forms a basalt plateau or a shield volcano is a mafic (basaltic) magma. This magma is low in viscosity, making it very liquid, so when there's an eruption there's lava flows coming down the slopes like rivers, moving relatively fast. This type of magma has low content of silica, which is the reason why it is low in viscosity. The low viscosity also contributes to very small amount of gases in the magma, as the gases can escape from it very easily so they do not come in a situation to be trapped. The low amount of gases means that the volcanoes with this type of magma have calm eruptions, and explosive eruptions are either nonexistent, or extremely rare.
