Why is such a system not really wasteful explain with an example? Such a system is not really wasteful because although a graphical user interface may waste CPU cycles, but by maximizing the use of the system, it optimizes the user’s interaction with the system. What is the main difficulty that a programmer must overcome […]

Is a volcanic mountain a convergent boundary?
Is a volcanic mountain a convergent boundary? Hear this out loudPauseVolcanoes are a vibrant manifestation of plate tectonics processes. Volcanoes are common along convergent and divergent plate boundaries. Volcanoes are also found within lithospheric plates away from plate boundaries. Why are earthquakes and volcanic eruptions common in a convergent plate boundary? Hear this out loudPauseEarthquakes, […]
What is a steep tall volcano that can sometimes rise as high as 10000 feet?
What is a steep tall volcano that can sometimes rise as high as 10000 feet? Composite volcanoes are tall, symetrically shaped, with steep sides, sometimes rising 10,000 feet high. They are built of alternating layers of lava flows, volcanic ash, and cinders. Famous composite volcanoes include Mount Fuji in Japan, Mount Shasta and Mount Lassen […]

Where do you think this pillow lava erupted?
Where do you think this pillow lava erupted? Pillow lava is commonly cited as the most abundant geologic landform on Earth’s surface. As described above, pillows form at low, though imprecisely known, flow rates. Pillow lavas have been observed while forming on the shallow submarine slopes of Hawaii, where subaerial lava flows enter the sea, […]
Are volcanic bombs?
Are volcanic bombs? A volcanic bomb is a mass of molten rock (tephra) larger than 64 mm (2.5 inches) in diameter, formed when a volcano ejects viscous fragments of lava during an eruption. They cool into solid fragments before they reach the ground. What type of volcano has bombs? Some of the Earth’s grandest mountains […]
