What happens to lava when a volcano erupt?
lava shoots out of the top
What other clues do you think scientists had that the volcano was goig to erupt?
yes. the ground was shaking and that was a signal it was going to erupt.
How many volcanic islands are there?
The canary islands are all sitting on the top of an underwater volcano that has been dormant for hundreds of years. I also know that most of the individual islands have there own volcano's and on tenerife it is due to erupt soon as it does every 100 years. So the islands are on the top of a volcano with a volcano on top of most of them.
What causes a volcanoes to erupt?
What causes a volcano to erupt? Depending on the type and duration of the eruption lava and or tephra can pile up to make a volcano. What happens when volcanoes erupt? When it reaches the top, it explodes from the cone of the volcano. The pressure of the gases in the magma causes the volcano to erupt.Science & Technology at Scientific American.com: Ask the Experts ... What causes a volcano to erupt and how do scientists predict eruptions? Bob Abram, MOLTEN ROCK, or magma, and gasses spew from the mouth of a volcano in more
How does a volcano erupt and what causes it to erupt?
When a destructive boundary of two tectonic plates occurs the oceanic crust sinks underneath the continental crust as it is more dense, the oceanic crust then melts in the subduction zone and becomes magma in the mantle, this increases the pressure in the mantle and causes the magma to shoot up the volcano shaft and burst out of the top, this is an eruption
What happens to lava when a volcano erupt?
lava shoots out of the top
Why do some volcanoes erupt while others erupt quietly?
This is because of the time of volcano it is and the type of lava it excretes. A steep volcano will erupt with basaltic lava which is runny and can clog at the top. A shield volcano, however is different as the thick lava emitted just glops onward.
How do you make a volcano for a science fair project?
I would firstly make a volcano leaving a hole at the top and center, then fill the hole with baking soda, then add vinegar to make it erupt.

Where inside the earth does volcano occur?
A volcano is the visible effect of pressure building up in the semi-molten mantle below the surface. This pressure can cause lava and gases to erupt from the opening in the top or sides of the volcano. Therefore, a volcano occurs on the earth's crust (surface).
Where would you find the crater of a volcano?
at the top

What is an a example of a volcano?
Mount St. Helens, USA. Mt.St. Helens To show how volcanoes erupt you take a cup and put baking soda in the cup and red or orange vinegar and you will find the baking soda and vinegar bubbling and rising to the top of the cup and that is an example of magma flowing through a volcano.
What is the top of the volcano known as?
top of a volcano
What are facts about strato volcanoes?
Did you know that composite volcanoes make up 60% of the Earths volcanoes. Composite volcanoes don't always have to erupt from the top. They can have many magma chambers and can erupt from the sides. They can be made of basalt, rhyolite and/or andesite. They erupt both ash and lava. The lava is very thick. When the time comes for the volcano to erupt they start to become very quiet. (Sneaky eh?)
