I'm guessing this is a crone PA question... I have been searching it too. Sorry I don't know the answer either.
Similarities: Both types of eruptions can result in explosive events like pyroclastic flows and ash clouds. Both eruptions can be triggered by a buildup of pressure within the volcano. Differences: Eruptions of less gassy magma tend to produce slower-moving lava flows compared to the more gassy magma eruptions which produce fast-moving and explosive pyroclastic flows. More gassy magma eruptions often result in larger ash plumes and have a greater potential for creating volcanic ash clouds that can impact air travel.
A molten gassy rock is a type of igneous rock that forms from magma that contains dissolved gases, such as water vapor and carbon dioxide. As the magma rises to the surface and cools, the gases escape, leaving behind a rock with gas bubbles or vesicles. This type of rock is commonly associated with volcanic activity.
Yes, Kilauea's magma is typically gassy, containing significant amounts of dissolved gases such as water vapor, carbon dioxide, and sulfur dioxide. As the magma rises toward the surface, pressure decreases, allowing these gases to exsolve and form bubbles, which can lead to explosive eruptions or effusive lava flows. The gas content can vary depending on the specific conditions within the magma chamber and the composition of the magma.
yes. magma is the lava that is in the volcano and lava is the magma that is outside a volcano
Magma is just lava inside the earth, and lava is just magma outside the earth.
Magma is molten rock beneath the Earth's surface, while lava is magma that reaches the surface through a volcano or fissure. So, while all lava was once magma, not all magma will reach the surface as lava.
Magma that flows onto the Earth's surface is called Lava.
Lava is magma, that has reached the surface.
Lava is just magma that has reached the surface.
Lava and magma are composed of molten rock.
Lava and magma are both substances produced by volcanoes. There is a difference between the two, however. Specifically, magma has not yet come out of a volcano, while lava is magma that has erupted out of the cone.
Magma is lava before it actually reaches the surface of the Earth. So magma comes from a volcano, not lava.
