What is the lava in mid oceanic volcanoes made of?
All lava is the same- molten(liquid) rock
What are 3 types of volcanic mountains and explain?
Shield volcanoes are made from runny lava and steep sides. Cinder cone volcanoes are made from lava layers that alternate with layers of cinder. composite volcanoes shoot lav into the air.
How did volcanoes shape the Pacific northwet?
lava made land after hardening.
What kind of lava is flowing from volcanoes in Hawaii?
regular lava, du(probably low silica actually)
What are the different types of volcanoe?
Volcanoes are grouped into four types: cinder cones, composite volcanoes, shield volcanoes and lava volcanoes. They are: Cinder Cones: They are circular or oval cones made up of small fragments of lava from a single vent. They have been blown into the air, cooled, and fallen around the vent. Composite: They are steel-sides and composed of many layers of volcanic rocks. Mt. Rainier and Mount St. Helens are examples of this type of volcano. Shield: Shaped like a bowl or shield in the middle, they have long gentle slopes made of basaltic lava flows. The volcanoes that formed the basalt of the Columbia Plateau were shield volcanoes. Lava Volcanoes: Deep sided mound formed by lava that is too thick to flow. The lava piles up near the vent.
What are shield volcanos made of?
Shield volcanoes are composed mostly of layers of basaltic lava flows.
Is composite volcano made of entirely running lava?
Shield Volcanoes are made out of running lava. Not composite.
What are steep-sided volcanoes made from?
ash and lava
What is the lava in mid oceanic volcanoes made of?
All lava is the same- molten(liquid) rock
Can rocks be made from the inside of volcanoes?
yes. They are made form harden lava
What are 3 types of volcanic mountains and explain?
Shield volcanoes are made from runny lava and steep sides. Cinder cone volcanoes are made from lava layers that alternate with layers of cinder. composite volcanoes shoot lav into the air.
Where can igneous rocks be commonly found?
Igneous rocks can commonly be found near volcanoes. They are made when lava is cooled and becomes a solid. The oceanic plates are mostly made of igneous rock.
What is a volcano made of alternating layers of lava and tephra?
composite volcanoes
Volcano made of alternating layers of lava and tephra is what?
composite volcanoes
How did volcanoes shape the Pacific northwet?
lava made land after hardening.
Do shield volcanoes have a steep sloping cone made up of rocks and lava?
No. Shield volcanoes have gentle slopes composed almost entirely of cooled lava flows.
What is the atmosphere of Venus' surface?
venus atmosphere is cloudy,and its are made of volcanoes and lava
