What are things that are ejected from a volcano.?
The matter thrown out of a volcano while it is erupting is called lava, and it consists of melted rock matter. Before erupting, the lava moves underground towards the opening of the volcano. When it is underground like this, it is called magma.
Why does the Kilauea have slow eruptions?
because pahoehoe is a slow erupting kind of lava as well as the fact that kilauea is a hawaiian volcano (that is the type)
Which materials are formed from molten rock?
Igneous rock is formed from molten rock. When igneous rock breaks down, it forms lava and it also forms volcano erupting pumice.
What happens if a volcano does not stop erupting?
A volcano that does not stop erupting would create a pretty big mountain from all the lava piling up and cooling down.
How does a volcano gets its shape?
Lava. When the lava comes out of the volcano, gravity pulls the lava down the cone of the volcano, and depending the the viscocity of the lava, it forms a 'cone' or 'shield' as it cools. Thinner lava forms a shield volcano; thicker lava forms a steeper cone shape.
What is going on in the volcano while the volcano is erupting?
magma and lava are fighting their way out

What do you call a boiling mudflow from an erupting volcano?
Lava by: Arn2 xD
What kind of volcano forms from lava that is higher in water and silica content than lava that forms shield volcanoes?
cinder cone

What is meant by lava flows?
A lava flow is a stream of molten rock that moves downhill from an erupting volcano.

What does the spray from an erupting volcano contain?
Lava, watervapour, ash, cinder, carbondioxide.
Why does a volcano shape like a mountain?
When the volcano erupts, lava comes out and hardens on the surface of the volcano. If the volcano keeps erupting, then the hardened lava will create layers which cause the volcano to get taller like a mountain.
What is an nonexplosive volcano?
Lava flow.
