Why is rhyolite found in Yellowstone National Park?
Yellowstone is the site of a very large volcano that is often referred to as a supervolcano. Much of what it erupts is rhyolite.
How does a volcano cause a lot of damage?
when it erupts the lava can flow to places and the ash cloud and gases from the volcano are very dangerous for humans.
When a shield volcano erupts why will it have thin lava?
Most of the lava is liquid. Has very LOW viscosity
What type of volcano erodes very quick?
A cinder cone erupts quickly and makes a hill made of small pieces of hardened lava.
Why can volcanoes be both constructive and destructive?
The ash and lava that a volcano erupts can build up the land, which include the mountain of the volcano itself. In the case of underwater volcanoes, this process can created new islands. At the same time, the slopes of volcanoes are often unstable and prone to landslides, which are destructive. Very large eruptions can form large explosion craters and may even result in the volcano collapsing to forma depression called a caldera.
When a volcano collapses a very wide crater is called a?
When a volcano collapses a very wide crater is called a caldera.
Why are some valcanoes more dangerous than others?
This is mostly based on two factors: Activity: How often and with what intensity the volcano erupts Location: Where the volcano is geographically located If a volcano is very active, but is located in the middle of the ocean, few people are affected by it, so the volcano isn't considered dangerous to society. If it is very active and near civilization, then it's pretty dangerous. if it's not very active and near civilization, you might want to keep an eye out on it. If it's not very active and in the middle of nowhere, it's not particularly dangerous
How can you tell that Mount Fuji is a composite volcano rather than a shield volcano?
The volcano is very wide it means that it has mafic magma. The composite volcanoes have mafic magma in them. When the volcano erupts the lava flows down really fast, but hardens really slowly causing the volcano to widen its width size.
What happens when Pineapples meet lava?
If in a volcano, it erupts. However, if it is just in normal lava it's going to make it explosive and very harmful
What happens when a named volcano erupts?
the place It's in will be very famous, a lot of people will get hurt or die, homes will burn down, it would be a catastrophe
Is kilauea a composite volcano?
No. Kilauea is a shield volcano.Kilauea is a traditiional shield style volcano erupting very flowable basaltic magma. The volcano is one of the most studied and documented of any on the planet due to the ease of studying it during an eruption. The volcano erupts normally in a very placid style of spectacular lava flows across its surface. Altough Kilauea has posed a serious risk of property in the past it is often times able to outrun a lava flow from this volcano on foot at simply a brief walk. Hawaii Volcanoes Observatory is in charge of monitoring the volcano and has daily updates on the current eruptive conditions and changes within the volcano. A composite volcano on the other hand is of the style of Mt. St. Helens and erupts more often than not in a very explosive fashion.
If a volcano erupts is that volcano dead?
No. You see or hear on some shows,"oh, this volcano hasn't erupted since 1907." or something. But then it erupts. Yes, that can happen. A period of a few hundred years isn't very long for a volcano, especially ones that erupt violently. The mountain of a volcano is built up by a series of eruptions over the course of thousands if not millions of years. After erupting a volcano may go dormant for a few years or event a few centuries, but it is not dead and in nearly all cases activity will eventually resume. As once example, the volcano at Yellowstone has not had a magmatic eruption in 70,000 years, but it is still monitored for activity as magma is present beneath it.
