Would a planet with active or less active volcanoes have more craters?
A planet with fewer active volcanoes would have more craters, as the ash and lava from volcanoes will cover existing craters.
Will a planet with active volcanoes have more or fewer craters than a planet without active volcanoes?
A planet with active volcanoes will have fewer craters, as older craters will tend to be buried by lava and ash.
Do all volcanoes erupt lava?
Lava emissions are found with all active volcanoes, although some volcano emit more lave than others.
Why are lava domes such potentially dangerous volcanoes?
The presence of a Lava dome is not really a good indication of danger. Many inactive volcanoes still have a lava dome. If a lava dome is present on an active volcano, and it is growing, it could signify a build up before an eruption.
What is found in active volcanoes?
Magma, a thick substance composed of liquid rock, crystals, and dissolved gas is found inside of active volcanoes. When this substance erupts out of a volcano, it is then called lava.

What is a word for spewing lava?
erupting
What two challenges did volcanologists face investigating volcanoes?
Two challenges that volcanologists face investigating volcanoes are access to the volcano and the heat involved. Volcanoes can be very unpredictable, spewing out gas, rocks, and fiery balls of lava. For those that can get close enough to the crater or lava flows, the heat can be enough to stop them in their tracks.
Do all volcanoes erupt lava?
Lava emissions are found with all active volcanoes, although some volcano emit more lave than others.
Do volcanoes need lava to be known as actual volcanoes?
No, volcanoes do not need lava to be volcanoes.
Why are lava domes such potentially dangerous volcanoes?
The presence of a Lava dome is not really a good indication of danger. Many inactive volcanoes still have a lava dome. If a lava dome is present on an active volcano, and it is growing, it could signify a build up before an eruption.
