Question | Answer |
---|---|
Product of the quiet effusion of molten rock or magma beneath a volcano | Lava Flow |
Extremely low in speed and seldom cause of deaths directly. | Lava Flow |
Forms when the dome that forms from the piling up of lava flows hear the vent collapses. | Pyroclastic flow |
Magma and lava that comes from volcanoes in Hawaii are called? | Hot spot |
Volcanoes are formed when plate dives under another plate | Subduction zones |
What fragments thus the explosive eruptions cause? | Tephra |
What quiet eruptions creates? | Lavas |
The most easily identifiable volcanic deposits? | Lava flows |
What affects the way lava flows and its speed? | The composition |
It is the fastest flowing lava because of it's low viscosity. | Basaltic lava |
Basaltic lava styles? | Pahoehoe and A'a |
Composed of thin flows with smooth surface that sometimes feature ropy folds. | Pahoehoe |
It has sharp, spiny surfaces. | A'a |
It has small volume and typically associated with stratovolcanoes and commonly forms lava domes. It is slow by lava flow standards. | Andesitic Lava |
It have higher viscosity, which is why these are a lot slower than andesitic and basaltic lava flows. | Rhyolitic Lava |
Other types of lava | Sheet lava and Pillow lava |
This are thicker than pahoehoe and have surface texture | Sheet lava |
Pillow-shaped rocks formed by the sudden cooling of lava that is deposited underwater | Pillow Lava |
What makes the volcanic eruption work? | Gas |
It expand enormously when magma rises to the Earth's surface and erupts. | Volcanic Gas |
The most abundant volcanic gas released into atmosphere. | Water Vapor H20 |
Other volcanic gases | CO2, SO2, N, H, CO, S, Ar, Cl, F |
Abundant in the atmosphere and natural product of respiration | Carbon Dioxide |
Colorless and odorless gas. | Carbon Monoxide |
Colorless gas with strong odor. | Sulfur dioxide |
The release of SO2 gas during an eruption can produce volcanic smog called? | Vog |
SO2 + O + Water and sunlight | Haze and smog |
Hot mixtures of fresh lava, gas, rock, pumice and ash that move down the sides of a volcanic crater at high speeds during an eruption. | Pyroclastic flow |
Types of Pyroclastic flow | -Merapi type, Pelean type and Soufriere type |
The mechanism that produce nuee ardente from the collapse of a dome | Merapi type of pyroclastic flow |
Nuee ardente deposits of block and ash are also generated by dome collapse | Pelean type |
It involves the collapse of a dome | Soufriere type |
Effects of Pyroclastic Flow | Burn, Impact and Burial, Inhalation of gases, and Lahars and flooding. |
Volcanic rock and lava materials that are ejected into the air by explosions or carried upward by the eruption column's hot gases or lava fountains. | Tephra Falls |
Special kind of tephra |
