What is obsidian?
It is a usually black or banded, hard volcanic glass that displays shiny, curved surfaces when fractured and is formed by very rapid cooling of lava. The curved fracture surfaces are more correctly termed conchoidal fractures and the "glass" is said to have a "vitreous" texture as the material cools so rapidly that crystals do not have time to form.
What are porphyroblasts and how do they form?
A Porphyroblast is a large crystal formed on the inside of Metamorphic rocks.metamorphic rocks (in)...crystals showing planar surfaces-namely, magnetite, garnet, epidote, mica, calcite, quartz, and feldspar. Minerals that have a tendency to form large single crystals (e.g., garnet) are termed porphyroblasts

A hot and wet climate causes wethering to take place?
Definitely yes,as a result of alternate wetting and drying caused by changes in the climate from wet to dry,there would be a contineous expansion and contraction of rocks due to swelling during precipitation when water is absorbed,and shrinking when rock surfaces get dried.This activity weakens rocks and other landforms,then they begin to crack and there surfaces pills off.This process is termed "Exfoliation",the weathered particles are called "Scree" and they result to "Tallus Slopes" beneath rocks and other landforms.
Why are earthquakes tsunamis and landslides classified as natural disasters what causes them?
