of the earth through fissure into the earth’s surface.
ii. Diastrophism is the movement of the solid part of the earth toward each other
or away from one another or side way.

(b) Difference between the following terms (2marks@)

i. Magma is the mixture of molten rocks and gases in the interior of the earth’s crust while
lava is the materials found on the earth’s crust.

Sum of the months
12months

(26+27+25+25+26+26+27+26+26+26+25+25)0C
12
0
=25.8 C
Thus, Mean annual temperature = 25.80C
