QUESTION 1
A Pyroclastic Flow is a(n):
O slow lava flow of viscous magma
mudflow that starts when volcanic ash rapidly melts snow on volcanic peaks
*D. avalanche of hot gases and volcanic ash
E. a landslide containing volcanic blocks and bombs
QUESTION 2
A plate has been moving from West to East (left to right on the figure) over a Hot Spot The active volcano is the large pink one. The extinct
volcanoes are gray triangles (any size difference is just due to my graphic skills!). The number in each extinct voicano stands for the time in
millions of years since its last eruption. Which of the figures below show correctly the pattern that matches this scenario?
O Pattern A
O Pattern B
O Pattern C
O Pattern D
