What kind of eruption is hot lava?
Well, hot lava isn't an eruption. Hot lava is what magma is called after it comes out of a volcano.
What are the differences between pahoehoe and AA What kind of eruption produces these type of lava?
The differences are that Pahoehoe produces fast moving lava; Aa produces slower moving lava. The kind of eruption that produces these types of lava is a quiet eruption.
What kind of eruption does a lava plateau have?
no one knows
What kind of eruption form composite cone volcano?
Composite volcanoes are highly variable in what they erupt. Most often, eruptions will release clouds of ash, pumice, and rock fragments. In some cases they fountain or extrude lava.
How can scientists tell what kind of eruption occurred by studying cooled lava formations?
When they study the lava they study what is inside the lava like how much silica, magnesium, iron etc then they can tell what kind of eruption it was.
What kind of eruption produces pahoehoe and AA types of lava?
Quiet eruptions
What ate the differences between pahoehoe and Aa what kind of eruption produces these types of lava?
Pahoehoe and AA lava are produced by quiet eruptions. This means that instead of a blast or explosion, the lava just flows out of the volcano. Pahoehoe lava is hot and flows quickly. AA lava is cooler in temperature and doesn't flow as quickly.
What kind of lava does Mount Shasta have?
What type of eruption does Mt. Shasta have?a composite eruption which is a quiet eruption
Why does volcanic ash looks like snow?
It depends on the kind of eruption. In a Hawaiian type eruption parts of the volcano are covered in red hot lava flows and there may be a fountain spewing lava hundreds of feet into the air. In a Strombolian eruption explosions create a firework-like display of airborne lava, which may form lava flows. Some ash may rise from the fountain of lava. In a Vulcanian eruption the volcano produces clouds of ash and sends blocks of rock and globs of lava out at high speeds. In a Pelean eruption the volcano is covered in large clouds of ash. In a Plinian eruption the volcano sends a vertical column of ash miles into the sky to spread out at high altitude. The volcano itself may be covered in clouds of ash.
What kind of eruption is produced when basaltic lava that is low in silica flows from a volcano?
quiet nonexplosive eruptionsquiet nonexplosive eruptionsquiet nonexplosive eruptions
What is a lava fountain?
Lava flow is hot flowing lava that goes on for miles and destroys everything in its way.well,almost everything. It is actually masses of molten rock that can pour from a volcano during an eruption. It bulldoses practically everything in its path!
What is the difference between lava flow lava fountains and lava tubes?
A lava flow is basically a stream of lava on the surface. A lava tube is an underground cave through which lava flows downhill. A lava fountain is lava shooting into the air out of a volcano in much the same manner as a water fountain.
