A) High viscosity; high silica B) Low viscosity; high silica C) High viscosity; low silica D) Low viscosity; low silica True/False (Mark “A” for True, “B” for False) 36) A pyroclastic flow is a fluvial process. 37) When a seismogram shows the spacing between S-P arrival times as closer together, this means that the epicenter is farther away. 38) Volcanoes can emit gases during an eruption. 39) Mt. Vesuvius buried the city of Pompeii in a quiescent eruption. 40) Two seismograms total are needed to find an earthquake's epicenter. 41) A caldera is associated with volcanoes. 42) Erosion is the process of depositing large quantities of sediments. 43) The epicenter of an earthquake is its geographical surface location. 44) The Richter number varies with location for a given earthquake. 45) Glaciers erode, transport, and deposit rock material over time. 46) Not all countries have building standards that attempt to prevent collapse in the event of an earthquake. 47) A seismograph needle barely moves when there is a large magnitude earthquake. 48) Fires can start when natural gas lines and water lines rupture during an earthquake. 49) Erosion, transportation, and deposition along a coastline are related to the activity of waves. 50) Hot spots move around frequently.
