If relatively small amounts of water mix with ash it makes the ash heavier, which can cause roofs to collapse. Larger amounts of water can turn the ash int mud and cause dangerous mudflows called lahars.

Why do volcanoes in the Philippines releases lahar while in the other countries it releases magma?

Magma comes out of all volcanoes, though it is called lava once it reaches the surface. In an explosive volcanic eruption, however, the magma does not become lava, but instead forms tiny particles of glass called volcanic ash. This ash can then mix with water to form muflows called lahars. Lahars are not limited to the Philippines, but can occur anywhere that there are sufficient amounts of ash and water.

Which spheres interact when a volcano erupts and releases gases into the air?

Hydrosphere: a volcanic eruption can pollute nearby bodies of water which can harm or animals that live in the water or drink the water. The water supply can be damaged for people who drink from it.Geosphere: the magma from the volcano pushes rocks to the surface creating lava. Lava and ash can change the landscape.Atmosphere: the gases mix into the atmosphere. Ash also mixes into the atmosphere and settles on the ground later.Biosphere: Lava destroys and living thing in its path. The ash also will cover plants which causes the plants to suffocate and die.


What are ash deposits from a volcano?

When a volcano erupts explosively, some of the molten rock is ejected in the form of small particles. These cool to form tiny pieces of volcanic glass. Clouds of volcanic ash either race down the sides of a volcano in avalanches called pyroclastic flows, or fall to earth like snow from tall eruption plumes. In either form volcanic ash can be dangerous. Pyroclastic flows are extremely hot, burning almost everithing in their paths. Falling ash has had time to cool, but still prsents hazards. It is very dense and can cause roofs to collapse. It clogs engines and interferes with electical equipment. It can damage the lungs if inhaled. Volcanic ash can also mix with water from rain or melting glaciers to form deadly mudflows called lahars.
