Which factors help determine whether a volcanic eruption will be explosive or relatively quiet?
The volatile content of the magma. Weather water or Ice has ingres to the volcanic vent. The physical stability of the volcano.
What two principal factors determine the nature or explosive potential of a volcanic eruption?
The two principal factors that can determine the nature or explosiveness of a volcanic eruption is Temperature and Composition in terms of its water content, mineralogy and volatility.
Did Hawaiian volcano have the most explosive eruption?
No. Volcanic eruptions in Hawaii are not usually explosive.
What are the two factors that affect the explosiveness of a a volcanic eruption?
There are two factors that determine how explosive a volcano is. The two factors are the amount of gas that is present in the lava and how easy or difficult that gas can be released into the atmosphere.
What are the stages of an eruption column?
An eruption column consists of hot volcanic ash emitted during an explosive volcanic eruption. An explosive eruption always begins with some form of blockage in the crater of a volcano When magma flows towards the surface pressure builds, eventually causing the blockage to be blasted out in an explosive eruption. The pressure from the magma and gases are released through the weakest point in the cone, usually the crater. The sudden release of pressure causes the gases in the magma to suddenly froth and create volcanic ash and pumice, which is then ejected through the volcanic vent to create the signature eruption column commonly associated with explosive eruptions.
