The main danger of a quiet volcanic eruption is?

Answer 1

The primary hazards involve lava, gases, and pressure.
A quiet volcanic eruption can release poisonous gases (such as sulfur compounds) which can poison the air or water supplies. Also, lava flows can create dangerous wildfires, and destabilize slopes leading to landslides. Additionally, they can add stress to underground rock formations and potentially trigger earthquakes.

Answer 2

Typically a quiet eruption means that the magma being forced onto the surface is low in silicates and gases. This typically means that it would be basaltic and slow moving like the lava flows that can be observed in Hawai'i. A common danger to anybody near a volcano could be poisonous gases.

Answer 3

The main hazard of a quite or effusive eruption is in the form of lava flows. These usually move fairly slowly, so evacuations are often possible, however these flows still result in a create loss of property. Some lava flows move very quickly. The fastest lava flows on earth are those produced by Mount Nyiargongo in Africa. These flows can travel at up to 60 mph. Getting caught in such a flow is unsurvivable.

Answer 4

The main hazard from a quiet volcano is the lava flows. The streams of molten rock that ooze from an erupting volcano are lava flows.

Answer 5

the main hazard is hot rocks, and ash. it could also cause a pyroclastic flow.

Answer 6

even if the volcanic eruption is silent there may still be toxins released into the air which will be hazardous to ones health

Answer 7

people cant hear it coming so they can't flee

Answer 8

Volcanic gases

Answer 9

i don t know
