the earthquake caused a volcanic eruption
What is the difference between silent and violent eruption?
the different types of volcanic eruption is silen and violen erruption
What is the difference between viscosity and volcanic erutions?
Viscosity is a measure of resistance to flow in a fluid. A volcanic eruption is a violent discharge of molten rock and ash.
What is the difference between a tornado and a tsunami?
An incredible difference. The only similarity between the two is that they are made natural causes. A tornado is a violently rotating column of air produced by a thunderstorm. A tsunami is a large ocean wave or series of waves produced by a non wind related event. Often that event is an earthquake or a volcanic eruption.
What is the relationship between the amount of gases in magma and the explosiveness a volcanic eruption?
The more gases, water vapor and silica there is in magma the bigger the explosiveness of a volcanic eruption.
What date did the volcanic eruption flood crete?
This was caused by the Minoan eruption of Thera or the Santorini eruption between 1642 and 1540 BC
What is the relationship between the silica content of magma and the explosiveness of a volcanic eruption is?
we
What is the relationship between the silica contents of magma and the explosiveness of a volcanic eruption?
The high the silica content, the explosive and the eruption.
When was the loudest volcanic explosion and where?
The loudest volcanic explosion in recorded history was one produced during the 1883 eruption of Krakatoa. This volcanic island, which collapsed into the sea after the eruption, was located between Java and Sumatra in Indonesia.
When does a volcanic eruption end?
When the magma chamber is no longer pressurised. Note, this does not mean that the magma chamber can not refill and cause another eruption later. Thus there is a difference between the termination of an eruption and a volcano becoming extinct (ceasing to have any more eruptions ever).
What is difference between ocean ridges and rises?
Ridges and Rises are uplifts in oceanic crust caused by volcanic eruption in oceans, the difference between a ridge and a rise is of rift valleys, ridges have long valleys and rises do not have any valleys
What is the difference between a passive continental margin an an active continental margin?
Passive continental margins are not areas of convergence. There is little volcanic and earthquake activity on passive margins. Active margins are areas of convergence where one plate is descending beneath another. They are associated with volcanic and earthquake activity.
