C. Ashes are lighter pieces of fragments, less than 2 mm in diameter than tephra.
D. Both B and C

24. How does volcanic eruption provide a good influence on climate?

A. Some spewed gases contribute to frequent rainfall.
B. Some spewed gases and dust particles control the escape of cold wind.
C. Some spewed gases and dust particles trap the emitted heat from Earth.
D. Some spewed gases and dust particles cool the planet by shading incoming solar radiation.
25. Why is lahar or mudflow a common volcano hazard in the Philippines?
A. Because the magma of the Philippine volcano is less viscous.
B. Because the magma of the Philippine volcano is thick.
C. Because the magma of the Philippine volcano has higher silica content.
D. Because the Philippines experience frequent rainfall and usually the volcanoes are located
beside bodies of water.
