Is a volcanic eruption most likely to occur on the east coast of the US?
No. The west coast is the most likely place for a volcanic eruption.
What do you call mudflows produced by the melting of snow and glaciers on composite volcanoes?
The volcanic mudflows that occur at stratovolcanoes are known as Lahars. These flows can travel up to sixty miles per hour and have a consistency of wet cement. These flows destroy everything in their path and can travel up to a hundred miles down the valleys from a voclano. These mudflows can occur for many reasons, and it is not required for a volcano to erupt to produce one of these flows. Flank collapse from hydrothermally altered rock in a large stratovolcano can generate these flows without any warning and without an eruption.
When oceanic plunges beneath continental crust volcanic activity and earthquakes may result in which region does this occur?
The continental margins of the Pacific Ocean
Is a cauldron like volcanic feature usually formed by the collapse of land following a volcanic eruption?
not always... but it's likely happen when there are ring structure or cone sheet dikes occur as intrusive volcanic structures when the eruption happen and triggering it..
Why does the very existence of a fossil imply catastrophic burial?
In order for a fossil to form, it must be buried quickly before it decays and its bones are scattered or decomposed. As a rule, conditions for a quick burial occur only during catastrophic events, such as volcanic eruptions, landslides, mudflows, or floods.
Is a volcanic eruption most likely to occur on the east coast of the US?
No. The west coast is the most likely place for a volcanic eruption.
What is likely to occur as a result of a major earthquake in the US?
Volcanic eruptions
Where is primary succession likely to occur?
on a new rock created by a volcanic eruption

Do Mudflows move in one large mass?
yes, most mudflows do move in one large mass but they usually only occur on gentle slopes.
What happens when heavy rain builds up in dry sediment?
Mudflows then occur after
Is north Queensland prone to earthquakes?
No. Ancient volcanic activity did occur in the region, but it is not at all prone to earthquakes in modern times.
Would a volcanic eruption be likely to occur on the east coast of the US?
I do not believe there is any volcanoes on the east coast
