Question

when magma moves underneath a volcano, it causes the surface of the volcano to change. this is known as deformation. researchers recently calculated the amount of deformation occurring each month for five volcanoes in latin america. although sierra negra experienced a lot of deformation, its deformation rate was still lower than that of ______ which choice most effectively uses data from the graph to complete the statement? choose 1 answer: a pacaya. b fernandina. c alcedo. d maule.

Explanation:

The bar graph shows the deformation rate (centimeters per year) for different volcanoes. We need to find which volcano has a higher deformation rate than Sierra Negra.

• Pacaya: The bar for Pacaya is taller than the bar for Sierra Negra.
• Fernandina: The bar for Fernandina is shorter than the bar for Sierra Negra.
• Alcedo: The bar for Alcedo is shorter than the bar for Sierra Negra.
• Maule: The bar for Maule is shorter than the bar for Sierra Negra.

Answer:

A. Pacaya
