User: A cinder cone volcano easily erodes because it is made of ash and other volcanic debris. This indicates that its eruption is primarily _____. a.explosive with a pyroclastic flow b non-explosive with a pyroclastic c flow d explosive with pyroclastic and lava flows non-explosive with a lava flow

Weegy: The best answer is C.explosive with pyroclastic and lava flows.

User: The main difference between the Richter scale and the Mercalli intensity scale is _____. the Richter measures up to an 8.0 scale while the Mercalli measures up to 12 the Richter measures multiple sources of energy being released while the Mercalli measures energy released from the epicenter or focus the Richter measures the energy released from an earthquake while the Mercalli measures the effects of an earthquake There is no real difference between these scales.

Weegy: The Richter Scale is the best known scale for measuring the magnitude of earthquakes. The magnitude value is proportional to the logarithm of the amplitude of the strongest wave during an earthquake. [ [ A recording of 7, for example, indicates a disturbance with ground motion 10 times as large as a recording of 6. The energy released by an earthquake increases by a factor of 30 for every unit increase in the Richter scale. Scales for measuring earthquakes...

User: Volcanoes that are tall, steep, and made of both lava and volcanic material are _____ volcanoes. Tall, gradually sloped volcanoes made mostly of lava flow are _____ volcanoes. a shield, cinder cone b cinder cone, shield c cinder cone, composite d composite, shield

Weegy: Tall and steep volcanoes are composite/strato volcanoes. Gradually sloped volcanoes are shield volcanoes so the answer would be D. composite, shield.

User: The Columbia Plateau exposes dark rock that spans the states of Washington, Oregon, and Idaho. What made this vast plateau? layers of sedimentary rock that deposited, like the Grand Canyon layers of continuous basaltic lava flow that cooled and hardened layers of metamorphic rock that eroded and extruded from deep in the earth's crust layers of batholith that eroded and became exposed

Weegy: During late Miocene and early Pliocene times, one of the largest flood basalts ever to appear on the earth's surface engulfed about 63,000 square miles (160,000 km2) of the Pacific Northwest, [ forming a large igneous province.[3] Over a period of perhaps 10 to 15 million years lava flow after lava flow poured out, eventually accumulating to a thickness of more than 6,000 feet (1.8 km).[3] As the molten rock came to the surface, the Earth's crust gradually sank into the space left by the rising lava.[3] The subsidence of the crust produced the large plateau - a large, slightly depressed lava plain sometimes also known as the Columbia Basin.[3] The ancient Columbia River was forced into its present course by the northwesterly advancing lava. The lava, as it flowed over the area, first filled the stream valleys, forming dams that in turn caused impoundments or lakes.[3] Entities that have been found in these lake beds are fossil leaf impressions, petrified wood, fossil insects, and bones of vertebrate animals ]

User: What feature forms over the vent of a volcano when very thick lava builds up? volcanic neck flood basalt plateau lava dome geyser

Weegy: This would be called a lava dome. This happens when the lava slowly rolls out of the volcano and cools as this process happens.
