Do volcanoes have a certain time when they erupt?
Although incredibly unlikely, it could happen.
Are mountains the same as volcanoEs?
Similar but not the same, volcanoes erupt from magma and lava and rocks come out but not in a mountain
How and why do volcanoes erupt and do they form the same way mountains do?
i don't knw
Do volcanoes erupt for the same reasons?
Yes, all volcanoes erupt because the magma underneath or in the volcano is under pressure, which forces the magma to the surface, where there is less pressure. However, volcanoes form in different places.
Do volcanos erupt differently?
No, not all volcanoes would erupt the same way. Some volcanoes erupt by explosion while others barely trickle lava down the volcano.
How are shield volcanoes and cinder cone volcanoes somewhat same?
Both erupt basaltic lava, which has a low silica content and a high temperature.
Do all volcanoes take the same amount of time to erupt?
No ... it depends on how big the volcano is and the mass ... so the answer is no.
Why did the Yellowstone volcano erupt?
It will erupt for the same reason that all volcanoes erupt: magma is collecting in the magma chamber and pressure is increasing. This will eventually reach a breaking point and result in an eruption. The chances of that occuring in our lifetimes however, are very small.
What season volcanoes erupt?
Seasons are to do with weather and climate. A volcano may erupt anytime not in summer or winter, that is irrelevant. Volcanoes do not erupt in a season, the reason they erupt is due to the build up of magma in the Earth's crust below the place they erupt. Some volcanoes are: extinct, nothing happening for a very long time dormant, they have not erupted for a long time but might become active in 500-1000 years active, they 'dribble or spew' all the time new ones which erupt sometimes after other thermal activity becomes apparent sometimes unexpectedly but usually in an area where there are other volcanoes or thermal activity. An example is the Volcanic Plateau in New Zealand which is part of the Pacific Rim of Fire where many extinct, dormant and active volcanoes are situated.
What causes an underwater volcano erupts?
Volcanoes underwater erupt in much the same way as those on dry land. They erupt when pressure builds up. The difference between these two types of volcanoes is that the lava produced in an underwater volcano cools dramatically faster than the lava on land.
Do volcanoes strike in the same place twice?
A volcano is a geologic feature, not an event. An event in which a volcano produces lava or ash is a volcanic eruptions. Virtually all volcanoes will erupt multiple times.
Do other planets have volcanoes?
The planets other than Earth on which we have observed volcanoes are Venus and Mars. These planets are made of the same materials to Earth and formed by the same processes. Therefore, like Earth, they have hot interiors that can produce molten rock. Mars may have cooled enough that the volcanoes it has no longer erupt.
