Question 11 Pick out the false statement. Carbon dioxide: Correct Answer:is a toxic (poisonous) gas; even a little can kill you. Question 12 Mt. St. Helens erupted in 1980, sending out gas and pyroclastics. Geologists have found evidence of many eruptions of St. Helens, dating back 37,000 years. The mountain is huge and is composed of layers of lava and pyroclastics. Which of the following is most likely true? Correct Answer: Its a stratovolcano (or composite cone). Question 13 This stratovolcano recently erupted in the United States. Although it warned of its impending eruption, it still killed people, partly because it first blew sideways and produced a monstrous landslide.

Question 20 Identify the false statement. The eruption of Mt. Tambora, Indonesia, in 1815: Correct Answer: is the only documented example of possible eruption-triggered coolness. Question 21 Individual volcanoes erupt fairly regularly, and if the recurrence interval is known, their eruptions can be accurately predicted. Correct Answer: False Question 22 Renewed eruption in a caldera can produce a resurgent dome. Correct Answer: True Many planes have crashed because volcanic ash sucked into their engines blocked the engines airflow and shut it down. Correct Answer: False Question 26 Pyroclastic flows bring instant death to any life caught in them.
