Would you rather survive an avalanche or a volcanic eruption?
Volcanic eruption. It must be more painful because you literraly melt.
What causes earthquakesand volcanoes to happen?
The earths plates rub together causing vibrations in the earth. Making Earthquakes If these plates are near volcanoes the friction will melt the magma causing a volcanic eruption.
Is it possible to have a volcanic eruption and snowfall at the same time?
Certainly, if the volcano erupts while it's snowing! The hot ashes will melt the snow, of course, but they can occur together.
What are the disadvantages of lithosphere?
Lava has been known to block escape routes from areas that could be potentially destroyed by a volcanic eruption. It is also hot enough to make a person 'melt' beofre they even touch it.
Why can't you see a rock forming?
With some rock types, watching them form is as easy as observing a volcanic eruption. The cooling of lava can occur so quickly that you could actually watch a rock solidify from melt.
How metamorphosed rock is formed?
When a tectonic plate in a subduction zone, goes underneath another tectonic plate, the magma in the Earth's core causes the plate to break up and melt. This melted rock becomes magma, and when it pushes through the Earth's crust to create a volcanic eruption, the magma cools and becomes rock. This rock is Metamorphic rock.
Is obsidian rock organic or chemical?
Obsidian is a volcanic glass which forms when a high silica melt solidifies quickly after eruption. Organic and chemical are terms used to classify sedimentary rock. Obsidian is an igneous rock type.
Are thunder eggs sedimentary and igneous rocks?
The minerals start off as a sedimentary rock, then melt and reform into igneous rocks during volcanic activity.
Volcanic activity how does it happen?
Volcanic activity happens with the gases saved and stored build up and explode. =] ~Anna 6th Grade California Volcanic activity happens with the gases saved and stored build up and explode. =] ~Anna 6th Grade California
What causes matter to melt?
Heat energy causes matter to melt. The energy breaks bonds in the matter making looser constructions of the material.
What causes polar ice to melt?
Melting of the ice caps Global warming causes the ice caps to melt. As they melt, the moving water corrodes at the remaining ice, speeding up the process.
What causes solids to melt?
fire/heat makes matter expand the melt away
