Answer 1

Answer:

c. bronte is about 15 km from an active composite cone volcano and a previous lava flow has covered the eastern parts of town

Explanation:

Bronte is a city known for its pistachio production. In addition, it has a soil rich in nutrients which makes the city a good place to establish agricultural crops. However, Bronte had a difficult past due to its proximity to an active volcano that has already caused the city's destruction several times through the lava that hit the city several times creating a rocky desert in some places.
