What the difference between ‘Oil sands’ and ‘tar sands’?

Geography

Answer: Hi there,

Tar Sands: Used more commonly than oil sands. It helps workers make manmade roads. This was introduced around the 1800s. Although it is quite similar to Oil Sands. The U.S uses this method to create roads instead of oil sands. They are mixed the same way as oil sands but these can produce gasoline.

Oil Sands: Seems more accurate than tar, they are mixed with water, clay, and sand. It forms bitumen which is created by the following items I mentioned which make the oil sands very dense because of what else they put in there (petroleum). It is very thick compared to tar sands. They are most important in the Candian economy.  

Hope this helped :)

You watch a volcano erupt non-explosively, then 5 days later you see it erupt explosively.
alexdok [17]

D. high and low levels of silica in the different type of lava.

Explanation:

The volcanoes have different types of explosions. Some tend to be highly explosive, some less explosive, some don't have explosions at all, while some have combinations of different eruptions. The reason for this diversity in the eruption types is mostly the composition of the magma, or rather how high is the silica content in it.

Basically, the higher the silica level in the magma the higher the explosiveness, and the lower the silica level the lower the chances of explosiveness. This is the case because the higher amount of silica makes the magma thicker, so the gasses are trapped and they explode, while when the lower silica content makes the magma less thick, so the gasses are not trapped and explosions are lacking.
