Volcanic eruptions act as constructive forces when they blast away the sides of volcanoes. C. Volcanic eruptions never act as constructive forces because they do not build up landforms D. Volcanic eruptions act as constructive forces when volcanic gases cause acid rain that weathers rocks

Question

Which of the following is true about volcanic eruptions? A. Volcanic eruptions act as constructive forces when lava builds up to form volcanoes and plateaus. B. Volcanic eruptions act as constructive forces when they blast away the sides of volcanoes. C. Volcanic eruptions never act as constructive forces because they do not build up landforms D. Volcanic eruptions act as constructive forces when volcanic gases cause acid rain that weathers rocks

Answer 1

The correct answer is A. Volcanic eruptions act as constructive forces when lava builds up to form volcanoes and plateaus.Volcanic eruptions can have both constructive and destructive effects on the Earth's surface. When lava erupts from a volcano, it can accumulate and build up over time, forming new landforms such as volcanoes and plateaus. This process is considered constructive because it adds new material to the Earth's surface and creates new land.Option B is incorrect because volcanic eruptions that blast away the sides of volcanoes are considered destructive forces, as they remove material from the Earth's surface.Option C is also incorrect. While volcanic eruptions can be destructive, they can also be constructive, as mentioned in option A.Option D is incorrect because volcanic gases causing acid rain that weathers rocks is a destructive process, not a constructive one. Acid rain can break down and erode rocks, which is a form of weathering.
