What of the following is an eruption from the side of a volcano?
An eruption from the side of a volcano is known as a flank eruption. This type of eruption occurs when magma breaks through the side of the volcano rather than erupting from the summit. Flank eruptions can create fissures and lava flows that spread out over the surrounding landscape, often resulting in the formation of new volcanic features.
How was the eruption of Mount Saint Helens?
It was cause by the pressure in side the volcano
What is a smaller structure formed on the side of a volcano?
The parasitic cone is the name of the smaller vent-structure on the side of some volcanoes. This structure is not part of the central vent of a volcano.
Does magma sometimes force it's way out of the side of a volcano through a vent?
Yes, magma can sometimes force its way out of the side of a volcano through a vent. This is known as a lateral eruption or a flank eruption. It occurs when the pressure of the magma becomes too high and finds a weak point on the volcano's side to escape from.
What happens to the liquid that comes out of a volcano in a volcanic eruption?
it runs dowm the side and forms rock
What may be indicated by bulge in the side of a volcano?
Magma is rising towards the surface prior to an eruption.
Does a pyroclastic flow typically occur during a quiet eruption?
No, pyroclastic flows typically occur during explosive volcanic eruptions when hot gas and volcanic particles travel rapidly down the side of the volcano. Quiet eruptions, such as lava flows, do not produce pyroclastic flows.
What is the name of the hills between Lyttleton and Christchurch?
The hills between Christchurch City and the Port of Lyttelton are known as the Port Hills. They form one side of the crater that is Lyttelton harbour, which was formed by the eruption of a now extinct volcano.
What places are affected by the ash from the eruption of the Eyjafjallajökull Volcano in Iceland on April 14 2010?
The north side of Eurppe
When lava is forced out 1 side of a volcano what is that called?
When a secondary vent opens on a volcano the name can depend based on the type of eruption as well as the type of volcano. If a Shield Volcano has a secondary vent eruption it is called a rift eruption. This is demonstrated in the current eruption on Kileaua volcano in Hawaii. In a stratovolcano a secondary vent can either be a rift vent, or a cinder cone. This depends on the nature of the eruption. If it is a moderate explosive eruption with minor lava effusion than it would develope into a cinder cone, while if it is a constant lava spatter it would be deemed a rift zone eruption. There are several other minor terms of events, however they are extremely rare and are associated with both of these types of eruptions.
