There is a grand one in the western U.S. s) a rupture on the crust of a planetary mass object, such as the Earth, which allows hot lava, volcanic ash, and gases to escape from a magma chamber below the surface.
t) one of the seven very large land masses of the world. u) a piece of land that is bordered by water on three sides but connected to mainland.
Unscramble the names of famous European rivers from your textbook. Be careful, not all of the names are the same in English! With the exception of one, all of the first letters are correct.
Good luck!
