What is the difference between vulcanicity and volcanicity?
Vulcanicity is a process through which gaseous, liquid and solid materials are forced out of the earths crust to the earths surface. Volcanicity is the process where igneous materials reaches the earths surface from the earths crust to the earth surface
If you see raindrops splashing on the surface of the road or if you are forced to drive through a puddle or standing water?
apply break at the same time as the accelerator.
Why is an earthquake less likely to happen at the center of the earths crust?
Because earthquakes are the result of two plates rubbing together. For example, if two plates are being forced into each other they may create what is called a subduction zone. One plate will be forced underneath the other. This quite obviously will cause some friction and maybe even some lifting of one of the plates. once the force becomes large enough to overcome that friction the plates will slip. An earthquake is what we feel on the surface when that happens. As to why they are not likely to happen in the center of the earths crust, The shock waves from this type of event will dissipate in the earth long before they get there.
Magma from deep inside earth rises toward the surface because?
Because magma is less dense than surrounding solid rock, so it is forced upward toward the surface.
When groundwater that flows in an aquifer between two layers of impermeable rock is forced to the surface by an increase in pressure .what is formed?
artesian well

What are hot springs forced into earths surface called?
not gysers
How do volcanoes takes place?
Volcanoes are essentially holes in the earths surface through which magma and lava can erupt. when pressure builds up below the earths crust, magma is then forced violently out of the volcanoes.
What describes the landform from which melted rock is forced out of an opening earth's surface?
Erosion
How did rocks get on earth?
they were and aree forced through earths crust in the form of lava.
What breathing opening is air forced through in the locust's abdomen?
spiracles
What is a opening in the Earth's surface to which steam and ashes and lava are forced out?
a volcanoVolcano
Why volcanic eruptions?
The earth's plates shift and magma is forced up through the earth's surface.
Why volcanic eruptions exist?
The earth's plates shift and magma is forced up through the earth's surface.
How can you get your homemade volcano to erupt higher?
You could narrow the opening at the top with a larger chamber underneath so a lot of lava is forced through a small opening thus making it come out with more force.
What makes the rumbling noise in a volcano?
A volcano is caused by the build up of molten rock (magma) beneath the earths surface. It forces up through the vent of a volcano, and as it forces up it breaks through the rock, which is the noise that is made. Imagine a shaken up coke bottle,: when you open it the coke comes out with a noise, because of the pressure it was under as it is forced out.
What is an opening in the Earth from which lavas rock and gases are forced out?
volcano
