Question

5a. considering just the maroon/dark red symbols, approximately how many volcanoes are currently erupting? there are approximately 35 volcanoes currently erupting. b. click on one the volcanoes. try to pick one from a different tectonic setting than your prior answers. i. where is the volcano located? lubumbashi, africa ii. what is its current status? erupting iii. what type of volcano is it? shield volcano iv. based on the type of volcano it is, draw what it looks like. v. based on the type of volcano it is, describe how it may have formed due to its tectonic location. it could have been a divergent plate boundary vi. what type of hazards are occurring at this volcano since it is erupting? lava flow, tephra

Explanation:

a. The number of currently - erupting volcanoes is approximated by counting the maroon/dark red symbols.
b. i. The location of the chosen volcano is Lubumbashi, Africa.
ii. Its current status is erupting.
iii. It is a shield volcano, which is characterized by its broad, gently - sloping shape.
iv. A sketch of a shield volcano is provided, showing its wide and low profile.
v. Shield volcanoes can form at divergent plate boundaries where magma rises easily to the surface.
vi. Erupting shield volcanoes can cause hazards like lava flows and ash (tephra) emissions.

Answer:

a. Approximately 35 volcanoes are currently erupting.
b. i. Lubumbashi, Africa
ii. Erupting
iii. Shield Volcano
iv. [Sketch of a shield volcano provided in the image]
v. It could have been a divergent plate boundary.
