Are dome and upwarped mountains the same thing?
Yes (It's more formally known as a dome mountain)
Are lava and magma the same thing?
Lava is simply magma that has reached the surface.
Do mountains always stay the same?
no
How do minerals form from magma and lava?
well lava and magma are pretty much the same thing but the way minerals form from lava and magma is that when a volcano erupts the magma turns to lava and lava is just magma that cool-es faster because it is on the surface. anyway the way that minerals form is when the lava and minerals already form come together they form new minerals
What are some examples of uniformitarianism?
the forces that build mountains and erode mountains and the rates at which these forces operate are the same today as in the past.
Is a Dome volcano the same as a Lava Dome volcano?
Yes
Are dome and upwarped mountains the same thing?
Yes (It's more formally known as a dome mountain)
Is a dome volcano the same as a cone volcano. if not - what is a dome volcano?
a dome volcano is not the same as a cone volcano. a dome volcano is a type of volcano, is a roughly circular mound-shaped protrusion resulting from the slow extrusion of viscous lava from a volcano. Usually it extrudes very slowly, but constantly. A cone volcano has an appearance of an upside-down funnel with a hole in the top which the lava shoots out of.
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
Is a shield volcano and a lava dome volcano the same?
No. A shield volcano is a large, broad sloping volcano that forms over a long period of time as successive low-viscosity basaltic lava flows build on top of one another. A lava dome is a smaller, steep-sloped structure that forms fairly quickly as very viscous lava (usually rhyolite or dacite) builds up, but is too viscous to flow away.
What type of mountains are the Black Hills of South Dakota?
The Black Hills of South Dakota are upwarped dome mountains, formed by the action of magma rising underground. They are laid out like a target, with rings of different types of rock going away from the center dome. The Black Hills of South Dakota have been described as miniature versions of the Rocky Mountains and were formed about the same time by the same forces.
What is the place with two indigenious species of birds?
The same place that's covered with beaches, mountains and valleys :-)) Yes, and a place with lava also. ;)
How are lava dome volcanoes fomed?
Dome mountains are formed exactly the same way as VolcanoesThe inside of the earth can get so hot that rock slowly melt and become magma. Magma is much lighter then the hard solid rock that surrounds it, this causes it to rise and collect in chambers in the earth. though the magma cools before a volcano is formed. (hope this helps)
Are mountains hills and plateaus formed in the same way?
No. One way which mountains are formed is due to volcanic activity. Another way is when two of earth's plates push against each other, the ground smashes together and rises up which forms mountains. I believe the Alps were formed this way. Some small mountains can even be manmade.
The hole in the top of a volcano?
The top of a volcano may be a peak, lava dome, vent, crater, or caldera (empty magma chamber), depending on the state of the volcano. The top of any mountain can be called its summit.
How are Pillow Lava and Pahoehoe lava the same?
Both pillow lava and pahoehoe lava have about the same composition and harden into a kind of rock called basalt.
Describe five landforms form from lava and ash.?
I'll answer it for you, since we both have the same book. & i'm always looking on my computer for answers.The five landforms created from lava and ash are:Volcanic Necks, Dikes, Sills, Batholiths, And dome mountains.1. Volcanic Necks- They form when magma hardens in a volcano's pipe.2. Dikes- Magma forces itself across rock layers and hardens.3. Sill- forms when magma squeezes between layers of rock.4. Popcorn- is a mass of rock formed when a large body of magma cools inside the crust.5. Dome Mountains- forms when rising magma is blocked by horizontal layers of rock.Hope i helped! :)
