Why do shield volcanoes erupt frequently but rarely cause human disasters?
Shield volcanoes erupt lava with a low silica content. There are less dissolved gases and a lower viscocity fluid, so less gas is produced and it takes less pressure to erupt.
Who long can a volcano stay dormant?
dormant volcanoes are not as active as active volcanoes, but can erupt unexpectedly. the only volcanoes that we know when will erupt for sure are extinct volcanoes, because they will never erupt again.
Is an example of the effect on human life of the processes within the interior of the earth?
Volcanoes frequently erupt around the Ring of Fire.…
Can a volcano erupt in a city?
It is possible but unlikely, as few areas are subject to the formation of new volcanoes on human timescales. Some cities are, however, built near volcanoes and could be endangered by future eruptions.
Cinder cones are the most dangerous volcanoes?
Cinder cones are typically small volcanoes that have short and relatively mild eruptions compared to larger composite volcanoes or stratovolcanoes. While they can erupt with explosive force, their eruptions are usually confined to the immediate area surrounding the cone and do not pose as much risk to human populations as other types of volcanoes.
What makes volcanoes so interesting to scientists?
Volcanoes are definitely somewhat dangerous, looking back at disasters that have happened in the past. Some Volcanoes have been sleeping for millions of years and no one knows when another one will erupt. Scientists (particularly Volcanologists) are interested in volcanoes perhaps because of the dangers of an active volcano being so close to people.
Do volcanoes have weather geological or human causes?
Volcanoes are driven entirely by geologic forces.
All volcanoes whether active or inactive are dangerous do you think this is true?
With some exceptions, volcanoes are generally not dangerous to people. Your chance of being killed by a volcano is 1 in 80000 over your lifetime, which is far less than your chance of being killed in say a motor vehicle accident (1 in 67). There are also two classifications for inactive volcano's. Volcanoes which have not erupted for a significant amount of time are known as dormant volcanoes. Volcanoes which have not erupted in human history are known as extinct volcanoes. Extinct volcanoes are never expected to erupt again, and are therefore not dangerous unless they have been misclassified. So no, I do not think that all volcanoes whether active or inactive are dangerous. The only dangerous volcanoes are dormant volcanoes that explode suddenly with little or no warning.
How do volcanoes help us human?
in a way it does help your town because you can make your town more beautiful than it was before.
What is human interference?
Human interference refers to the actions or influence of humans that disrupt or alter natural processes in the environment. This can include activities such as deforestation, pollution, habitat destruction, and climate change, which can have negative impacts on ecosystems and biodiversity. Human interference can lead to environmental degradation and loss of species diversity.
Why are volcanoes in Hawaii the least severe?
The volcanoes in Hawaii erupt basaltic lava, which is relatively runny and has a low gas content. As a result the volcanoes usually produce effusive eruptions; fountain or oozing lava but rarely producing explosions. After emerging the lava travels along as fairly slow-moving lava flows. These flows can be destructive, but are easy to escape.
Why are some volcanoes more dangerous than others?
Yes. There are active volcanoes that does not affect any one to this date. There has been others that has wiped out an entire civilization such as the case of the pompeian civilization completely devastated by a volcano.
