Earthquakes and lava flows
- B.
A volcanic eruption
- C.
Temperatures that rise 2-3 degrees
- D.
Temperatures dropping over a long period of time
Correct Answer
D. Temperatures dropping over a long period of timeExplanation
Temperatures dropping over a long period of time can cause another Ice Age. During an Ice Age, the Earth's climate becomes significantly colder, leading to the expansion of ice sheets and glaciers. This occurs when there is a long-term decrease in global temperatures, which can be caused by various factors such as changes in solar radiation, shifts in ocean currents, or changes in the composition of the atmosphere. As temperatures drop, ice accumulates and reflects more sunlight, further cooling the planet and perpetuating the Ice Age conditions.Rate this question:

Temperatures dropping over a long period of time Which effects of an eruption are seen first?
- A.
Lava and steam
- B.
Smoke and floods
- C.
Fire and mud slides
- D.
Clouds and cool temperatures
Correct Answer
A. Lava and steamExplanation
During an eruption, the first effects that are seen are usually the lava and steam. Lava is the molten rock that is expelled from the volcano and flows down its slopes, while steam is produced when the hot lava comes into contact with water or moisture in the surrounding environment. These two elements are typically the most visible and immediate signs of an eruption, as they can cause destruction and pose a threat to nearby communities and infrastructure. The other options listed, such as smoke and floods, fire and mudslides, and clouds and cool temperatures, may occur later in the eruption process or as secondary effects.Rate this question:

- D.

Correct Answer
C. Temperatures dropped considerablyExplanation
The correct answer is "Temperatures dropped considerably". This means that before the clouds from Mount Katmai disappeared, there was a significant decrease in temperatures. This could have resulted in various changes in the environment and weather conditions. It is important to note that the other options, such as an Ice Age beginning or heavy rains occurring, are not supported by the given information and are therefore not the correct answer.Rate this question:

- A.

- B.

- D.
The shading caused by the clouds covered only a small part of the earth
Correct Answer
C. The cooling period was too shortExplanation
The cooling period after the eruption of Mount Katmai was too short to cause an Ice Age. This means that the decrease in temperature caused by the eruption and the resulting clouds was not sustained for a long enough period of time to have a significant impact on global climate.Rate this question:
