What does a large cloud of gas and dust called?
nebula
A cloud of gas that gives birth to a star is called?
A Nebula
A star may form from this cloud of gas and dust in space?
It is called nebula
Clouds of gas and dust form a fuzzy outer layer called a?
Oort cloud
What is interstellar gas cloud?
An interstellar cloud made of gas, dust, and plasma in a galaxy.
What is a nuees ardantes?
A superheated incandescent cloud of gas and ash that swiftly travel down the volcano like an avalanche (also known as "the glowing cloud"). Scientifically, they are called pyroclastic flows or pyroclastic density currents.
What is a ash and gas cloud?
it is a cloud that comes out of a volcano when there is a eruption
What transfers volcanic ash away from the volcano during an eruption?
The ash rises because it is in a cloud of hot gas. This cloud is then carried by the wind.
What is the orgin of the term Plinian eruption?
A Plinian occurs when viscous, gas-rich magma erupts from a volcano. The expanding gas makes the eruption highly explosive, generating clouds of gas, ash, and pumice. The turbulent cloud pulls in air from its surroundings. The air is heated and expands, making the ash cloud buoyant and causing it to rise high into the atmosphere.
Is a pyroclastic flow the same as an ash cloud?
No. The term ash cloud typically refers to the plume of ash and gas that rises above an erupting volcano. A pyroclastic flow is a denser mass that hugs the ground.
What erupts from volcanoes along with lava?
Volcanoes can erupt ash, gas, and pumice in addition to or instead of lava.
What shoots out of a volcano during an eruption?
It depends on the type of eruption. Some will erupt lava or a mixture of lava and gas. Others will erupt gas, ash, and pumice.
What else can be erupted out of volcano apart from lava?
Things that can be erupted include volcanic ash, pumice, solid rock fragments, and gas.
What is a pyro-clastic cloud?
a pyroclastic cloud is a cloud of gas, ash, dust, stones and rocks emitted during a highly explosive volcanic eruption.
What is lava that travels 100 mph down a hill called?
The closest match to this is a pyroclastic flow, but it isn't exactly lava: it is a cloud of hot ash, rock, and gas.
Is there a pahoehoe in a volcanic explosive eruption?
Not usually. Pahoehoe refers specifically to a lava flows. These can occur in mildly explosive eruptions, but usually explosive eruptions to not produce lava flows. Instreat they produce clouds of ash with some lapilli and pumice. Pryoclastic flows often result. These are fast-moving avalanches of superheated ash, gas and pumice. These form a kind of volcanic rock called tuff.
What is a spinning cloud of gases?
a cloud of glowing gas and dust is called a nebula
