Magma originates either from rising plumes of heat at hot spots in the Earth's mantle, where decompression melting takes place as the hot rock nears the surface; or, it originates in the mantle from subduction of oceanic crust, where cold, wet rock speeds melting of the subducting rock and it rises toward the surface.

What is a primary pollutant?

Primary polluters are air pollutants that come directly from a source. A volcanic eruption is an example of a primary pollutant.


Does lightning come after or during a volcanoes and explain?

Lighting occurs during volcanic eruptions. It is a result of electrical charges separating as particles of volcanic ash collide in an eruption plume.


What comes out from a supervolcano during an eruption?

A supervolcano eruption can release a massive amount of ash, volcanic gases (such as sulfur dioxide), and pyroclastic flows, which are fast-moving currents of hot gas and volcanic debris. It can result in significant global climate impacts due to the vast amounts of volcanic material released into the atmosphere.

What happens to a plant life a few years after volcanic eruption?

At first most of the plants die due to the heat and gasses, but then they will come back since they grow well in a volcanic soil. There is a tree that is still alive after the eruption of Pompeii in 79 AD.


Does water come out of a volcano?

Yes, water vapor can come out of a volcano along with other gases and volcanic materials during an eruption. Additionally, some volcanoes have crater lakes that can release water during eruptions or due to interactions with magma underground.


Where are the gases located in lava?

Gases in lava are primarily dissolved within the molten rock and are released as it rises to the surface. These gases, which include water vapor, carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, and others, are stored in the magma under pressure. When the pressure decreases during an eruption, the gases come out of solution, forming bubbles that can contribute to explosive volcanic activity. Additionally, some gases may be emitted directly into the atmosphere during eruptions.
