Ash and Gas make composite volcanoes erupt i believe
Yes, "lava" is a Hawaiian word that means "to erupt" or "make lava". It is commonly used to refer to the molten rock that flows from volcanoes.
A volcano that doesn't erupt is typically classified as a "dormant" or "extinct" volcano. Dormant volcanoes have the potential to erupt in the future but have not done so for a significant period of time, while extinct volcanoes are not expected to erupt again. Examples include the Eiffel Tower in France and the ancient volcanoes found in the Hawaiian Islands that have not shown any activity for thousands of years.
the type of lava
Volcanoes are only destructive to people and property when they erupt. Volcanoes can lie dormant for decades before they erupt. The Hawaiian Islands were all formed from eruptions of volcanoes in the ocean.
Yes, volcanoes can erupt in the ocean. If this were not true the Hawaiian islands as well as many other vacation island chains would simply not exist. It is also estimated by National Geographic in "Volcanoes: Natures Inferno" that the oceans conceal some 80% of volcanic activity worldwide.
No. Volcanoes erupt.
About 60 volcanoes erupt each year.
An unlimited amount of volcanoes can erupt at once
Volcanoes can erupt at any time of year.
Volcanoes erupt due to the build-up of pressure from molten rock (magma) beneath the Earth's surface. When this pressure becomes too much, it causes the magma to force its way to the surface, resulting in an eruption. Other factors like the composition of the magma and the presence of gases can also influence volcanic eruptions.
Volcanoes can erupt in any climate. Climate does not affect a volcano's ability to erupt.
