What type of rock forms form magma erupts from an undersea volcano?
Extrusive igneous rocks
Which type of volcano sometimes erupts violently due to the intense pressure that builds up when the vent becomes sealed by thick magma?
stratovolcano
What type of rocks from when magma erupts from undersea volcano?
All three rock types could be formed in areas under the seas. Two types of rock are most likely to form on the seafloor, however. Sedimentary rock is formed on the seafloor where accumulations of sediments undergo lithification processes. Extrusive igneous rock can form on the seafloor when lava erupts on its surface.
Is a volcanic dome non explosive?
Sometimes they are and sometimes they are not. The processes that form volcanic domes are non-explosive, but they can produce explosive eruptions. There are two different types of volcanic dome. The first is a lava dome. These form when very viscous lava is extruded onto the surface. Normally, highly viscous magma is gas-rich, and it is this gas that drives an explosive eruption. The formation of a lava dome can potentially mean two different things. In some cases a lava dome is a sign that a volcano is running out of gas and no longer has the potential to explode in the near future. In other cases a dome may just be the tip of a larger body of magma. The gas in this tip has escaped, allowing it to flow out and form a plug to the gas-rich magma beneath it. Pressure can built beneath this plug until the remained of the magma erupts explosively. The second type is a cryptodome. A cryptodome forms forms when viscous magma collects at a shallow depth beneath the surface and essentially inflates the ground above it. This in and of itself is not an explosive process, but can readily lead to an explosive eruption.
What name is given to the liquid inside the volcano?
There are several "fiery liquds" that emanate from volcanos. The most common is molten rock.
What type of magma does mount Pinatubo have?
Mount Pinatubo primarily erupts dacitic magma.
What type of magma erupts from a cinder cone volcano?
Cinder cone volcanoes are formed by basaltic magma.
What type of mountains are formed when magma rises to earth's surface and erupts?
volcanic montains
What type of rock forms form magma erupts from an undersea volcano?
Extrusive igneous rocks
What is the magma type for a lava dome?
Lava domes usually form with very viscous rhyolitic or dacitic magma.
What type of igneous rock forms form lava or magma that erupts onto the earths surface?
extrusive igneous rock

What type of volcano is characterized by low silica magma and relatively nonviolent eruptions?
flood basalt, lava dome, and shield volcanoes do.
