Question

How much sulphur and carbon dioxide does a volcanic eruption of Kilauea typically emit?Select one: a. 45,000 tons per day (equal to one large coal-fired power plant)b. 450,000 tons per day (equal to ten large coal-fired power plants)c. 45,000,000 tons per day (equal to 1000 large coal-fired power plants)d. 4,500,000 tons per day (equal to 100 large coal-fired power plants)

Answer 1

correct option is a. 45,000 tons per day (equal to one large coal-fired power plant)

Step-by-step explanation:

solution

we know that Sulphur Dioxide
`SO_2` is more in amount when there is an explosive eruption

when Sulphur Dioxide
`SO_2` and carbon dioxide
`CO_2` near the surface they released in the atmosphere very rapidly so that the eruption is explosive

and the Kilauea eruption was big and explosive it thrown out block and bombs etc

so here correct option is a. 45,000 tons per day (equal to one large coal-fired power plant)
