What is the best describes a volcano?
A volcano could be described as explosive, hot and soggy because of the lava running down the sides of it and it could be described as hard because it is made up of rocks.A volcano stupid is a formation that is caused by massive builds of cooled lava that builds up until it form a mountain, then underneath all of that cooled off lava is a lava chamber that will build up over time then it would explode.A fluidized flow is best described as a dispersion of large fragments in a medium of fluidized.
Are volcanoes the same as volcanic rock?
No...Volcanoes are openings in a planet's surface which allows for the flow of magma...volcanic rocks are simply rocks that originate from a volcano (igneous rocks)
What process causes liquid rock to move?
Vulcanism is the process that forces liquid rock (magma) from deep within the Earth, up to the surface. Once the rock is expelled from a Volcano, the force of Gravity makes it flow down the sloped surface.
Does it spew lava or ash or flow?
A volcano will spew lava.
How can volcanic eruptions create mud flows?
When a volcano erupts, sometimes the heat melts the ice and snow on the top of the volcano. This releases a large amount of water that gets mixed with the ash from the erupted volcano. The mixture of ash and water rushing down the volcano can pick up lots of debris. Because of this, major mudflows can occur.
Who tall is AA volcano?
A'a is not a kind of volcano. A'a is a texture that a lava flow can take on, characterized by a surface covered in sharp fragments. There is no particular height to the lava flow, or height of volcano from which such a flow erupts.
What creates a new volcano?
the flow of lava, cooling off and solidifying on the Earth's surface creates a new volcano
How does a volcano cause a lot of damage?
when it erupts the lava can flow to places and the ash cloud and gases from the volcano are very dangerous for humans.
When lava erupts from a volcano a formation called a?
By reading the best book i could find it i lava flow
What can errupt to to bring lava flow to earts surface?
Volcano
What causes volcanoes to form a spreading boundary?
The lava that erupts from a volcano may flow down the sides of the volcano's cone and spread out at the foot, so widening the extent of the lava's boundary.
Is a vent where a opening in the surface of the volcano have volcanic materials flow out?
Yes
What is the Flow of magma through the earths surface called?
I believe the answer you may be looking for is either Lava or a Volcano
What does magma that reaches the surface flow out of?
it flows out of the central vent at the top of the volcano
What type of opening in the earth's surface allows melted rock to flow out?
A volcano or volcanic vent is an opening in the earth's surface that allows melted rock (lava) to flow out.
Why do explosive volcanoes have a pyroclastic flow?
When a volcano erupts explosively, it releases clouds of hot ash, gas, and pumice. In many cases these clouds, or portions of them, are too dense to rise and instead race down the slopes of the volcano.
How can lava flow from a volcano and become part of the rock cycle and eventually become a flow of lava again?
The lava is melted rock called magma when it is underground, then it is exposed and is then called lava. The volcano erupts, and it hardens into igneous rock. If the igneous rock heats up again, it is lava once more!
