It depends on the type and size of the eruption. Most volcanic eruptions do not cause more than localized disruptions. Extremely large eruptions can cause ash to fall thousands of miles away and change weather patterns worldwide.

How far down can you go into a volcano?

to the very bottom.


Why can volcanoes eruptions be heard far away?

Volcano eruptions create loud sounds due to the explosive release of gas, ash, and rock. The sound waves generated by the eruption can travel far distances because they propagate through the air with very little attenuation. So, even people located far away from the volcano can hear the loud noises produced during an eruption.


How do you be ready for a volcano?

well you could just get as far away from the volcano as possible


Why do cinder cone volcanoes have narrower bases and steeper sides then shield volcanoes do?

The way a volcano is being formed, depends on the type of lava. Cinder cone volcanoes is made from andesitic lava. This type of lava is especially thick, and therefore is won't be able to ''run'' very far from the volcano. In this way, each time a cinder cone volcano erupts, it will create a new layer of lava, making the volcano higher and higher each time, but it will not increase its base area very much. It's different with shield volcanoes. They are made from another kind of lava which will advance very far from it's vent. Therefore the shield volcano won't often be very tall, but it can have a very large base area


Can you fall into a volcano and live?

If the volcano is not active and you don't fall too far, then yes.


How can you stop the effects of a volcano?

by either not being there, or by running away very quickly! The forces and the pressures are far greater than man can plug!


What is the difference between composite volcano and cinder volcano?

A shield volcano is made from lava flows that flow far, making a very wide, not very steep mountain. A cinder cone volcano is the most common type of volcano. It is formed from volcanic fragments and is very steep sided, although not always extremely tall. They usually have just one main vent, and can also sometimes form from a vent of a larger volcano, growing and becoming a whole new volcano. Composite volcanoes resemble very large cinder cone volcanoes at first, but have bigger particles making them up usually and also have multiple vents more often. They also are potentially more explosive.


Why are volcanoes not found in Singapore?

Although Singapore is not very far from a subduction zone, it is beyond the zone in which the subduction produces volcanic activity. Additionally, Singapore is geographically quite small, so even if it were in a belt of volcanic activity, there probably would not be a volcano in Singapore.

Why is there still snow on a volcano after it eurpts?

If hot material doesn't make it very far, some snow that the material didn't reach may remain. In other cases snow may fall on a volcano after material has cooled down.


How can two landforms that are so far apart be similar?

Even when two landforms are far apart, the same types of processes that create and affect landforms apply.
