How will stiff magma create an explosive eruption?
The more viscous or "stiff" types of magma usually contain more trapped gasses. When the magma reaches lower pressure near the surface, the gasses expand explosively, blasting ash and pumice into the air.
What causes the gases in magma to expand?
When magma is underground it is under enormous pressure, which causes the gasses to dissolve in the magma. As the magma rises pressure decreases and the gasses come out of solution. All gasses expand when decompressed.
How does temperature create a high pressure area and a low pressure area?
Heat affect the gasses' molecules and atoms which make it spread and expand which increases the volume. If the volume is constant as in a closed system then the pressure will increase and decrease along with temperature in a extrusive relation.
What is the partial pressure of gas in a mixture of gasses?
The pressure exerted by one gas in a mixture
What is the partial pressure of a gas in a mixture of gasses?
The pressure exerted by one gas in a mixture
What is the difference between hydraulics and pnuematics?
Hydraulics are powered by liquids under pressure and pnuematics are powered by gasses, usually air, under pressure. Both liquids and gasses are fluids.
What are some examples of gasses under pressure?
volcanoes and geysers
Why does sprite fizz?
Sprite fizzes because it has gasses dissolves in the liquid. When the container is opened pressure releases allowing the gasses to escape.
Why gasses exert pressure?
As the molecules in the gas move, they collide with the container they are within. These collisions is what we call pressure.
Is pressure in a balloon less than atmospheric pressure?
No, the pressure of the balloon is more than the atmospheric pressure because the gasses in the balloon are compressed by the stretched material.
What are the two common pressure equation?
The two laws having to do with pressure of gasses are Charles Law and Boyles Law.
How are gasses made?
By heating up above boiling point (at normal pressure)
