What forms when magma rises?
lava dome
How are lava plateaus and dome mountains the same?
magma extrusions, lava plateau on surface, dome underground then eroded.
What are the differences between a lava plateau and a dome mountain?
In dome mountains, uplift pushes a large body of hardened magma toward the surface. The hardened magma forces the layers of rock to bend upward in a dome shape. In a lava plateau, lava can flow out of two long cracks in an area. The thin, runny lava floods the area and travels far before cooling and solidifying.
Compare and contrast lava plateaus and dome mountain.?
Both landforms develop as a result of the upward movement of molten material. Lava plateaus are high, level areas that form when thin, runny lava repeatedly erupts on the surface. In contrast, dome mountains are high, dome-shaped areas that form when hardened magma is uplifted and bends the layers of rock above it into a dome.
What is an acid lava volcano?
Acid Lava Dome is a type of volcano that forms when viscous acid lava solidifies quickly to form a volcano with steep convex sides.
What forms when magma rises?
lava dome
How are lava plateaus and dome mountains the same?
magma extrusions, lava plateau on surface, dome underground then eroded.
A forms when magma slowly rises up inside the crater of a larger volcano.?
When magma slowly rises up the inside the crater of a larger volcano, it forms a Lava Dome.
Which forms inside the crater of a large volcano?
When magma slowly rises up the inside the crater of a larger volcano, it forms a Lava Dome.
Why did the Lassen peak volcano erupt?
Mt. Lassen is a lava dome type of volcano. The domes of lava dome volcanoes grows from within, and commonly occur within the craters or on the flanks of large composite volcanoes.
Lava is a type of magma but not all magma is lava?
i hate you weirdos
Where does the volcano keep the lava?
When lava is underground it is called magma. Magma is generally stored in a magma chamber dome distance beneath the volcano. Periodically, fresh magma may be injected into the magma chamber from the mantle.
What type of rock contains lava or magma?
The type of rock that contains lava or magma is an igneous rock.
What type of volcano is characterized by low silica magma and relatively nonviolent eruptions?
flood basalt, lava dome, and shield volcanoes do.
What type of rocks is formed by coolong magma or lava?
The type of rock formed by cooling of Magma or Lava is Igneous
What is a volcanic dome?
I don't know about viscous, but a lava dome is a steep-sided dome of thick lava extruding from a volcanic vent.a viscous lava dome is when the lava from the volcano contains alot of silica. Viscous=sticky. So the lava cools quickly of the sides of the volcano. And often a viscous lava dome volcano is explosive.
What type of lava does a lava dome hold?
A lava dome holds very viscous lava, which is why it forms a dome rather than flowing away. Usually it is rhyolite or dacite.
