Explosive eruptions will produce pyroclastic rocks such as scoria, pumice, and tuff.
Paricutin is an explosive volcano. It is classified as a scoria cone volcano, which is a type of volcanic cone that is formed by explosive eruptions. Paricutin's eruptions were characterized by the ejection of molten rock fragments, ash, and gases, leading to the formation of a cone-shaped structure. The explosive nature of Paricutin's eruptions is attributed to the high gas content and viscosity of the magma beneath the volcano.
A: it can have explosive eruptions
Yes. The Yellowstone volcano has produced several VEI-8 eruptions, the most explosive level of eruption possible.
No. A supervolcano is a volcano that is capable of producing extremely large explosive eruptions. Kilauea is a shield volcano. Most of its eruptions are non-explosive or only mildly explosive.
Generally not. Explosive eruptions may happen occasionally, but most eruptions are effusive.
quiet and explosive
A stratovolcano, also known as a composite volcano, is formed from violent eruptions characterized by explosive activity that ejects a mixture of lava, ash, and volcanic rocks. These eruptions are typically associated with high levels of gas pressure within the magma chamber, leading to explosive events.
Generally not. Most eruptions in Hawaii are effusive.
shield volcanoes are only explosive if water somehow gets into the vent
are also known as Strato volcanoes. They are the most common type of volcano, and are formed by explosive eruptions of pyroclastic material followed by a quiet outpouring of lava.
Yes. Stratovolcanoes usually alternate between explosive and non-explosive eruptions.
No. Volcanic eruptions in Hawaii are not usually explosive.
