Question

In a​ volcano, erupting lava flows continuously through a tube system about 15 kilometers to the sea. Assume a lava flow speed of 0.5 kilometer per hour and calculate how long it takes to reach the sea.

Answer 1

Answer:

30 hours

Explanation:

The relation between time, speed, and distance is ...

time = distance/speed

time = (15 km)/(0.5 km/h) = 30 h

It takes 30 hours for the lava to reach the sea.
