What is the comparative and superlative of Dangerous?
Since the word "dangerous" is considered a long adjective (of 3 or more syllables), the words "more" and "most" are used to form the comparative and superlative forms. The comparative form is more dangerous. The superlative form is most dangerous.
Which of these hazards are characteristic of a convergent boundary Earthquakes volcanoesMountianstrenches mud landslides other?
Volcanic activity and Earthquakes are two. And two more are Landslides and avalanches.
What type of flow does mt st helens have?
Mount St. Helens has produced lava flows in the past. However, the famous eruption in 1980 produced something much more dangerous: pyroclastic flows. These are avalanche-like currents of hot ash, rock, and gas that race out of a volcano. The initial pyroclastic flow from the lateral blast may have briefly been supersonic.
What happens when a stream of water flows over?
It could become a waterfall. Or if it just flows over onto more land then it becomes a river, not a stream.
Is an earthquake more dangerous than a flood disaster?
yes they destroy lots of land thats why it is listed under the natrual disaster list

Volcanoes can have runny or sticky molten rock which one is fairly safer?
Runny molten rock (low viscosity) is generally safer because it flows more easily and allows people to move out of the way faster. Sticky molten rock (high viscosity) tends to trap gases and pressure, leading to explosive eruptions.
Besides lava what are the other two dangerous things that come out of volcanoes?
Two other dangers from volcanoes, which are in fact more dangerous than lava flows, are pyroclastic flows and lahars. Pyroclastic flows are hot masses of ash, rock, and gas that move down a volcano's sides like avalanches, often exceeding 100 miles per hour. Unlike slow-moving lava flows, they leave almost no opportunity to escape. Lahars are mudflows that form when volcanic ash mixes with water. Lahars move through river valleys like flash floods, but with the density of concrete. A large lahar can bury a town in minutes.
How dangerous can avalanches be?
Of course they are! the most dangerous TYPE of avalanche is the slab avalanche and happens most of the time. And only if you in one. ;) But its probably not as dangerous as an earthquake.
Who do avalanches affect the most?
Avalanches primarily affect backcountry recreationists, including skiers, snowboarders, and snowmobilers, as they are more likely to be in areas prone to avalanches. However, avalanches can also impact nearby communities, infrastructure, and transportation routes in mountainous regions.
Why are the himalayas mountains so dangerous?
Mount Everest is a dangerous mountain to climb, like any high mountain. The main dangers on Mount Everest are: The Altitude Crevasses Avalanches Rock Fall The Weather Take a look at the article at the link for more details
Does global warming cause avalanches?
Global warming is unlikely to cause avalanches directly. They are usually caused by runoff from heavy rain and intense storms. Global warming is expected to cause more intense storms and could therefore be an indirect cause of avalanches.
What is more dangerous a volcano or quicksand?
Volcanoes are much more dangerous. Quicksand is dangerous, yes, but relatively easy to overcome by several methods. Stories of people stepping into quicksand and rapidly sinking out of sight are very frequently "elaborated".
Was the Soufriere Hills an AA or a pahoehoe eruption?
Neither. Pahoehoe and a'a are both basaltic lavas (mafic composition). Soufreier Hills erupts andesitic material (intermediate composition). This material took the form of ash and pumice forming pyroclastic flows (which are more like avalanches) rather than lava flows.
Do you have facts about snow avalanches?
Snow avalanches can be caused by accumulations of snow on top of previously frozen snow and ice, where there is not enough friction to hold it in place.The speed of avalanches depends on the steepness of the slope, but can reach 60 to 80 mph. The mass of the snow is so great that it has nearly the same effect as water or rock.Trees can be pushed over by avalanches, but they tend to steer the flow of the snow as well.Interesting Facts:- Avalanches can reach speeds of 250 miles per hour.- Most avalanches occur between 30 and 45 degrees, on a slope that faces the north, east and northeast directions.- Mountains that are heavily forested are safer areas, where avalanches happen the least.- 89% of victims are males between the ages of 20 and 29; they are generally skiers, snowmobilers, or climbers.- Only a few seconds after an avalanche the snow quickly turns into ice, freezing hard as cement.- The United States ranks 5th in the world for avalanche danger.- The deadliest avalanche reported in American history was in February 1910, in Washington's Cascade Mountains, the avalanche swept trains away and killed 100 people.they go 60-80 mph
How do avalanches form?
Avalanches form when a layer of snow collapses and slides downhill. This can happen due to factors such as a weak layer of snowpack, steep slopes, and triggers like human activity or natural events. The sliding snow collects more snow as it moves, creating a fast-moving and potentially dangerous avalanche.
What Distinguish between mud flows and earth flows?
Mud flows are fast-moving mixtures of water, rock, soil, and debris that flow downhill due to gravity, while earth flows are slower-moving landslides involving saturated soil and rock. Mud flows tend to occur in areas with heavy rainfall or snowmelt, while earth flows are usually triggered by saturation of soil from prolonged rainfall or leaking water pipes. Mud flows have a higher water content and move more quickly than earth flows.
