Answer to Question 1

Effusive eruptions are outpourings of low-viscosity magma that produces enormous volumes of lava. The basaltic rock is low in silica (less than 50) and rich in iron and magnesium. Effusive eruptions pour out on the surface with relatively small explosions and few pyroclastics. Effusive eruptions may come from a single vent or from a flank of a volcano through a side vent or even fissures.
Explosive eruptions are violent explosions of magma, gas, and pyroclastics driven by pressure build-up in a magma conduit. The magma is thicker and more viscous than effusive magma.

Answer to Question 2

When rock strata that are layered horizontally are subjected to compressional forces, they become deformed. Folding occurs when rocks are deformed as a result of compressional stress and shortening. An arch-shaped upward fols is an anticline. A trough-shaped downward fold is a syncline.

Over time, chronic hepatitis B virus and hepatitis C virus infections can progress to advanced liver disease, liver failure, and hepatocellular carcinoma. Unlike other forms, more than 80% of hepatitis C infections become chronic and lead to liver disease. When combined with hepatitis B, hepatitis C now accounts for 75% percent of all cases of liver disease around the world. Liver failure caused by hepatitis C is now leading cause of liver transplants in the United States.
