What are some examples of a fissure eruption?
Fissure eruptions occur when magma flows up through cracks in the ground and leaks out onto the surface. These often occur where plate movement has caused large fractures in the earth's crust, and may also spring up around the base of a volcano with a central vent. Fissure eruptions are characterized by a curtain of fire, a curtain of lava spewing out to a small height above the ground. Fissure eruptions can produce very heavy flows, though the lava is generally slow moving. They are usually at the base of a volcano or at the mid ocean ridge, but often at other volcanoes, such as the Hawaiian volcanoes, as well. (credit to yahoo answers too.)
How many dead volcanoes are there in the world?
there are atleast 100,000 dead volcanoes
What part of the world are volcanoes part of?
volcanoes are holes of the earths crust that are forced up to cause a volcano so volcanoes take up all of the world
What type of magma is associated with fissure eruption?
Fissure eruptions are also common on the flanks of many large volcanoes and, therefore, they are not restricted to areas undergoing regional extension. Magma-filled fissures radiating from the summit regions of active volcanoes like Mt. Etna, Mauna Loa, and Kilauea propagate outward from the central vent system. Extrusion from these propagating fissures can produce elongate volcano morphologies, such as those that are typical of many Hawaiian shield volcanoes. Note, for example, the axial elongation of the Mauna Loa shield volcano shown in the image to the left. Mauna Loa fissure eruptions are generated along two axial rift zones connected at the Mokuaweoweo summit crater. Each rift zone is underlain by magma-filled fissures. The image here displays several lava flows radiating downslope from these axial rift zones. Most of these erupted in historic times.
What is the famous example of hot spots?
Hawaii is a famous example, it holds volcanoes and is on the fire chain, the fire chain is a chain of volcanoes on the bordering plate tectonics.
What lava is in fissure volcanoes?
Fissures usually erupt basaltic lava.
What is a long crack from which lava flows through?
fissure
Classification of Volcano according to activity?
There are ten types of volcanoes. The types of volcano are as follows: fissure vents, shield volcanoes, lava domes, crypto-domes, volcanic cones, stratovolcanoes, super-volcanoes, submarine volcanoes, subglacial volcanoes, and mud volcanoes.
Are there only three types of volcanoes?
No, there are six types of volcano. Fissure, shield, dome, caldera, ash-cinder (sometimes called cone), and composite.
Is a volcano a type of mountain?
Not necessarily. Any hole or fissure from which molten rock or pyroclastic material emerges is a volcano. Not all volcanoes build into mountains.
What are 3 kind of volcanoes?
There are 3 kinds of volcanoes which are found around the world. They are shield volcanoes, cinder cone volcanoes, and composite volcanoes. Many of the most beautiful mountains in the world are composite volcanoes.
Why isn't there a distribution of minerals around the world?
There isn't an even distribution of mineral throughout the world because (for example), diamonds are found near volcanoes, so diamonds wouldn't be found in a place with no volcanoes. Hope this helps:)
Are volcanoes an example of a drought?
no

No one knows the exact answer to that question, however there are 1,511 known volcanoes in the world 500 are active!It really depends what volcano it is, but there is about 1510 volcanoes in the world.
What is the plural noun for volcano?
The plural of volcano is volcanoes. For example: The volcanoes erupted at the same time.
