What might happen if more magma is injected into the chamber from below?
A magma is injected into a volcano's plumbing the first thing you see is inflation of the land/volcano surface, this would be accompanied by earthquakes and low frequency harmonic sounds caused by the flow of magma through the volcano's passages (like a flute). There would then be the release of gasses from the vent (a phreatic eruption) as magma heats ground or surface water. This may then be followed by eruption of magma from the volcano's vent.
What happens to the lava in the volcano?
Technically, it is not lava until it pours out of the volcano. While it is in the volcano it is still magma. What is not ejected in the form of lava might sink and form a plug, allowing the magma to once again build up in the volcano's magma chamber.
What might cause a bulge in the slope of a volcano?
the magma growing in size and large cracks forming
What is it called that connects pool of magma to the crater?
Magma usually refers to molten rock when it is still underground, and a crater is a cup shaped depression in the surface whether in a volcano or not. If a crater were full of molten rock we'd call it lava. It might be fed by a magma pool below the surface.
Does magma erode igneous rocks inside a volcano?
In a way. A magma is hotter then the surrounding rock, that's why the magma is molten and the rock is not. But because of this, some heat of the magma is melting the surrounding rock. You might want to classify this as erosion, but it's simply the melting of the rock surrounding the magma.
What happen when a volcano is active?
When a volcano is active it will erupt. These volcanoes might take many years to erupt but will still erupt.
What is one type of plate boundary where volcanoes might form?
There are divergent boundries which causes Shield Volcanoes(an ocean volcano) and there a subducting boundries which causes a composite volcano(land volcano) there is also a cinder cone but that is made from a magma chamber(a place where magma is stored beneath the volcano and in the earths crust) explodes from being overfilled and layers upon layers form.
What element do scientist measure to classify magma?
Scientists measure the silica content, temperature, and viscosity of magma to classify it into different types, such as basaltic, andesitic, or rhyolitic. These properties help determine how explosive or effusive a volcano might be when the magma erupts.
How can people prepare for a volcano when the are in the danger zone?
they can hide in their houses or on top of their houses the reason why is because the magma will flow all on the ground and it might hit you
When might a volcano be bubbling?
A volcano might be bubbling as a warning that the volcano will burst soon. In addition, the volcano might be bubbling after the volcano exploded lava.
What are two ways which volcanic mountains might get smaller?
Volcanic mountains can get smaller through erosion, where wind, water, and ice gradually wear down the volcano's surface over time. They can also decrease in size through volcanic collapse, where the eruption of magma causes the structure of the volcano to weaken and collapse inward.
Where do volcanic rocks form?
Volcanic rocks form on or near Earth's surface from the solidification of magma (molten rock) that has erupted from a volcano. They can also form when lava cools and solidifies quickly in underwater environments, such as in ocean ridges or volcanic islands.
