Is a composite volcano quiet or loud?
OH MY GOSH! IT'S A VOLCANO!!!! WHAT DO YOU THINK??? INCASE THAT WASNT ENOUGH, LET ME SPELL IT OUT FOR YOU........................LOUD!well some volcanoes are loud but some are quiet
What is a volcano that may erupt explosively or non explosively?
since your asking for all types then I can only answer a generic volcano
What eruptive style has a shield volcano?
Shield volcanoes tend to erupt non-explosively, mainly pouring out huge volumes of fluid lava. Hawaiian-type eruptions are rarely life threatening because the lava advances slowly enough to allow safe evacuation of people.
What is the source of materials for volcanoes that erupt in non-explosive and explosive?
Magma and lava also crust?
How many under water volcanoes erupt a year?
AnswerRight now, Kiluea has erupted non-stop for at least 30 years.
What type of explosion does a shield volcano have?
Generally shield volcanoes do not explode. They erupt in a non-explosive fashion, fountaining or oozing lava.
Does a composite volcano erupt quietly or explosively?
A composite volcano is the most explosive type of volcano there is. Mt. St. Helens and Mt.Vesuvious in Pompeii are both examples of composite volcanoes, and look at the damage they did. a composite volcano usually has pyroclastic flows to accompany the traditional lava and ash.
What are non explosive volcanoes?
Dormant volcanoes
What type of eruption produces a gentle flow of lava?
Shield volcanoes produce fast flowing lava. They erupt frequently, but eruptions are gentle because the lava is so thin and does not trap gas in the volcano.
What makes volcanoes non-explosive?
Non-explosive volcanoes will have low concentrations of gas in the magma.
What is the source of materials for volcanoes that erupt in both ways how do you know?
Crusts must have both granitic (continental) plate and basaltic (oceanic) plate to cause both explosive (granitic magma) and non-explosive (basaltic magma) eruptions
How are stratovolcanoes different from shield volcanoes?
Strato volcanoes and shield volcanoes are different because of their shape and also because of the may they erupt. Strato volcanoes have steep slopes, shaped like a tall narrow cone.. when a strato volcano erupts vast amounts of gasses such as sulphur dioxide, water and dust are thrown up into the atmosphere. This can cause global warming and pretty sunsets, magma obviously comes out too ( the magma in strato volcanoes is very thick ) . These eruptions are very violent, they can blow up to half of the volcano away leaving a massive crater in the middle of it. Shield volcanoes have gentle slopes, shaped like a low wide cone ( or a shield -hence the name ) when a strato volcano erupts lava fountains can form as hot liquid lava is thrown into the air but these are not usually very high. The lava that comes from shield volcanoes is very runny ( unlike strato volcanoes ) so red hot rivers of lava run down the sides of the volcano. i hope that answered your question. :)
