Hi Ukkeli,

I've finished subediting your entry 'The Great Rock Cycle', A1913492. Are there any changes that you'd like me to make before I return it to the Editors? smiley - smiley

Hi,

just this one "If an eruption occurs to form ash flows....". At least to me (no native English speaker and geologist) word "occur" occurs in funny place. It gives too "random" feeling, like magma could decide, "hey, I feel like forming ash flows today!".

Or it could be me, that had to find something to nag about in otherwise very nice editing work. But I would vote for phrasing it :"If an eruption forms ash flows..."
