Erosion typically wears the Hawaiian volcano Mono Loa down about 20 cm in 5 years. Lava flows build the volcano up about 10 cm every time there is an eruption. Mono Loa erupts about once every 2 years. Is the volcano growing or wearing down?

Answer: The Volcano is growing little by little

Step-by-step explanation:

it goes down 4cm every year so in 2 years it will have gone down by 8cm then it erupts and goes up by 10cm gaining back to 8cm it lost, plus the extra 2cm.
