For items 39-40 , read the following summary of the primer.

Overview of Volcanic Processes

The formation of magma, types of eruptions, and the various hazards associated with volcanic
activity.

1. Magma Formation: Magma forms deep within the Earth due to high temperatures causing rocks to
melt. This molten rock, along with dissolved gases and crystals, rises towards the surface and collects
in magma chambers.

2. Types of Eruptions: Volcanic eruptions can be explosive or non-explosive, depending on the

composition of the magma. Thin, runny magma allows gases to escape easily, resulting in non-
explosive eruptions where lava flows out steadily. In contrast, thick, sticky magma traps gases,
leading to explosive eruptions that blast magma and tephra into the air.

3. Hazards of Explosive Eruptions: Explosive eruptions pose significant dangers, including the
formation of fiery clouds of tephra, which can devastate areas near the volcano. Ashfall can suffocate
plants, animals, and humans, while mudflows formed by volcanic materials mixing with water can
bury entire communities.

4. Lava and Pyroclastic Flows: Lava, the molten rock that flows out of a volcano, can vary in
temperature and viscosity. Pyroclastic flows, consisting of hot gases and solid fragments, move
rapidly down the sides of a volcano and are considered the deadliest volcanic phenomena due to their
high speed and temperature.

5. Volcanic Impact: Volcanic eruptions can lead to various secondary hazards, including tsunamis, flash
floods, earthquakes, mudslides, and rockfalls. These events can have devastating effects on the surrounding
environment, including knocking down forests and altering landscapes.

_____39. Why does thin, runny magma lead to non-explosive volcanic eruptions?
A. Because it contains fewer dissolved gases
B. Because it is cooler in temperature
C. Because it has a higher viscosity
D. Because it is more prone to crystallization
_____40. How does magma formation occur according to the provided text?
A. Due to low temperatures causing rocks to solidify
B. By gases escaping easily from the surface of the Earth
C. As a result of volcanic activity near the Earth's surface
D. Deep within the Earth, with high temperatures causing rocks to melt, accompanied by dissolved gases and
crystals rising towards the surface.
