Why would pahoehoe and a'a lava erupt from shield volcanos, but not from composite volcanoes?

Geography
1 answer:
WITCHER [35]1 year ago

Answer:

Shield volcanoes are built by many layers over time and the layers are usually of very similar composition. The low viscosity also means that shield eruptions are non-explosive. There are two types of lava flows, pahoehoe which is a ropy type of lava that flows easily (low viscosity).

Oh What do you know bout how light bounce off mirrors
Anastaziya [24]

The bending of light rays  happens when the light rays hits an object. It moves in various directions thereby letting us to view that object that the bounced off.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Light gets reflected to human eyes and other body parts, when they hit a flat mirror. The bouncing off is not accurate in human heads and other parts that faces the mirror. The refracted rays from human bodies starts to hit at different angles in the mirror and are reflected back accurately. This is the reason for the backward appearance of mirror images to human eyes.

The light is reflected backward to the point behind the mirrors that are of Convex type. Hence the obtained image will be smaller and farther that its originals. The light will be drawn into the mirror's center point and hence the resultant image will be larger than the original object because of the light reflected by a concave mirror type.

What is the cause of volcanic activity in New Zealand?
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

Explanation:

New Zealand is located in one of the most tectonically active regions of the world, the pacific ring of fire.

Volcanic activities is produced from uprising magma through the earth. They usually occur around plate boundaries on the surface of the earth.

New Zealand sits around an area where the Pacific plate subducts under the Indo-Australian plate. As the subduction occurs, the rocks beneath undergoes partial melting leading to the formation of magma. The magma reaches the surface in landward regions away from the subduction margins and series of volcanic arcs can form. These series of volcanoes typifies the tectonic setting of New Zealand and it is responsible for the vast volcanic activity in the region.

In regions where the sun's rays hit at an angle, solar energy is----and climate is----
dem82 [27]

In regions where the sun's rays hit at an angle, solar energy is less than the region which is exposed to direct sun rays and the climate is cold.

  • here the slanting sun rays fall on the frigid zone.
  • the  frigid zone receives slanting ray due to The higher the latitude, the less is the angle that the sun's rays make with the surface of the earth. Hence , the polar regions ( frigid zone ) receive slanting rays of the Sun.
  • on the other hand The Tropical zone gets vertical rays of the sun, while temperate and polar zones receive slanting rays of the sun.
  • North and South poles get more slanted sun rays. The axis of the earth is not straight, it is tilted in the angle of approximately 23.5°.
  • The more slanted the sun's rays are, the longer they travel through the atmosphere, becoming more scattered and diffuse and due to low heating the region becomes cold .
