Does a volcano erupt when the inner core is super heated?

Best Answer

No. The inner core does not directly affect volcanic activity. Earth experiences an estimate 50 eruptions every year from volcanoes on land and even more from volcanoes under the sea. So there is almost always some volcanic activity going on. A number of circumstances are believed to be capable of triggering volcanic eruptions, most of which involve events in the general vicinity of the volcano in question. One likely cause of some eruptions is a fresh injection of magma into the magma chamber from the upper mantle.

Mauna Loa, a shield volcano, is not a super volcano. A super volcano is a volcano marked by the inordinately massive nature of its eruption.

The last magmatic eruption of Yellowstone was about 70,000 years ago while the last super eruption was about 640,000 years ago. We have no way of predicting when it will erupt again as, contrary to popular belief, it does not erupt at regular intervals.
