Instead, many volcanologists use models to study volcanic eruptions. What is the most likely reason why volcanologists often rely on models to study volcanic eruptions?

C.
Volcanic eruptions are rare occurrences so it is difficult to see them.
D.
Volcanic eruptions take too long to be able to be observed in their entirety.

Answer 1

Volcanic Eruptions are a very dangerous event

Step-by-step explanation:

Models represent objects, events, and processes in the real world. Models are often used when an object, event, or process occurs too slowly or too quickly; is too small or too large; is too complicated or too dangerous. Volcanic eruptions produce both molten lava and poisonous gases. Therefore, eruptions can be very dangerous. Many volcanologists have lost their lives while observing volcanic eruptions.
