What are the gasses that make a volcano?
A volcano is made of rocks, not gasses. Gasses commonly emitted by volcanoes include water vapor, carbon dioxide, and sulfur dioxide.
What does sulfur dioxide indicate about a volcano?
Sulfur dioxide can indicate many things. For one example, if the smell and amount of sulfur is strong amongst the humans, animals or plants there is more of a chance of a volcano erupting, but if the sulfur is not so heavy amongst the people animals and plants, then it is less likely for the volcano to erupt.
What kind of doxide does coal produce?
Sulfur Dioxide is a gas emitted from fossil fuel combustion
Gases emitted by volcanoes contain mostly?
That gas produced from erupting volcanoes are primarily composed of water vapor, Carbon Dioxide and Sulfur Dioxide. The gas can also contain hydrogen sulfide, hydrogen chloride, and hydrogen fluoride.
What are the various kinds of gases and other materials emitted by a volcanic eruption?
Carbon Dioxide, Sulfur, Coal, ect.
What are the materials in volcano?
volcano spews lava,volcanic gases(carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, carbon monoxide, hydro gas and methane), volcanic stones(basalt, granite),sulfur, vapor, volcanic ash and Sedimentary Rock.
What is a small hole inside the crater of a volcano that releases gases called?
A small hole inside the crater of a volcano that releases gases is called a fumarole. Fumaroles are openings in the Earth's crust where volcanic gas and steam are emitted. They often release gases such as sulfur dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, and carbon dioxide.
What instrument would you use to measure the amount of sulfur dioxide coming out of a volcano?
correlation spectrometer
What is the gas emitted during eruption?
Volcanoes emit a mixture of gasses. Water vapor is the most abundant, but carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, and hydrogen sulfide are often major components. Many other gasses are present in smaller amounts. The relative abundances vary from one volcano to another.
Why were the sulfur dioxide emission readings important during the study pf mount Pinatubo?
Because the increasing levels of sulfur dioxide coming from the volcano indicated to scientists that magma was moving towards the surface.
What does sulfur dioxide inditcate about a volcano's activity?
well, in my perspective it tells us the story of when i fell off a bike.
If you had to measure the amount of sulfur dioxide coming out of a volcano what instrument would you use?
You would use a correlation spectrometer.
