Questions and Answers
Explain how the viscosity of magma affects the explosiveness of a volcanic eruption.
Explain how the viscosity of magma affects the explosiveness of a volcanic eruption.
High viscosity magma traps gases, leading to increased pressure and explosive eruptions. Low viscosity magma allows gases to escape more easily, resulting in effusive eruptions.
Describe two potential benefits and two potential hazards of volcanic activity.
Describe two potential benefits and two potential hazards of volcanic activity.
Benefits: fertile soils from volcanic ash, geothermal energy. Hazards: lahars, ashfall disrupting air travel.
How do ocean currents influence regional climates, and what factors drive these currents?
How do ocean currents influence regional climates, and what factors drive these currents?
Ocean currents redistribute heat around the globe, warming some regions and cooling others. They are driven by wind, temperature, salinity, and Earth's rotation.
Explain how the angle at which the sun's rays strike Earth's surface affects temperature and climate.
Explain how the angle at which the sun's rays strike Earth's surface affects temperature and climate.
Describe how being on the windward side of a mountain range affects the local climate, and what is the process called that causes this effect?
