As a result of the hot spot volcanoes of Iceland and Hawaii producing a huge amount of basalt, the nearby beaches are made of <u>black sand.</u>

<u></u>

<h3>What is the effect of Basalt on sand?</h3>

Basalt is a black volcanic rock that is commonly found around volcanoes. It has this coloration and appearance as a result of a high concentration of augite and other dark minerals.

Areas with a high concentration of basalts, such as beaches in Iceland and Hawaii, will reflect this dark hue coloration by generating black sand when combined with basalt.

Which statements describe results of the greenhouse effect?
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

A. higher temperatures

C. penguins losing their natural habitat

D. rising sea levels

Explanation:

The greenhouse effect is caused by the trapping of more solar radiation on the surface of the earth than the normal level by certain gases. These gases are called greenhouse gases. Trapping solar radiation on the earth leads to increase in the earth's surface temperature. Polar ice begins to melt and more water is added to the ocean which can lead to rising sea levels and flooding of coastal cities. Ice caps will significantly diminish. As we know penguins are known to inhabit cold climates around the southern pole, if the polar ice in this region melts, their habitat becomes threatened.
