What did mount Pinatubos 1991 erution measure at on the Richter scale?
The Richter scale measures earthquakes, not volcanic eruptions. Eruptions are rated on the Volcanic Explosive Index. On this scale, the 1991 eruption of Mount Pinatubo was a VEI 6.
What are the kinds of volcanic eruptions?
The kinds of eruptions are the quiet eruptions and the explosive eruptions.
What are the different types of volcanic eruptions?
Non-explosive and Explosive
What are the 2 types of volcanic eruption?
There are effusive eruptions and explosive eruptions.
What is a volcano explosive index?
Volcanic explosive index is a measure of how explosive a volcanic eruption is based largely on the amount of material released. It ranges from VEI-0 for non explosive eruptions to VEI-8 for massive super eruptions.
Did Hawaiian volcano have the most explosive eruption?
No. Volcanic eruptions in Hawaii are not usually explosive.
What are the two different types of volcanic eruptions?
Flow, and explosive
What form eruption does mt Pinatubo produce?
explosive, produces lahars and volcanic ash clouds.
What type of eruption did mount Pinatubo have?
Mount Pinatubo had LATERAL eruption. It means, generally volcano erupts at its highest peak where its vent finds an opening, but mount Pinatubo got a weak side and therefore it erupted laterally.
Which of these substances is usually not present in explosive volcanic eruptions?
Pahoehoe is one substance usually not present in explosive volcanic eruptions. Tephra, lava and other gasses are typically present during an eruption.
Rhyolite is associated with what type of eruption?
Rhyolite is associated with explosive eruptions.
2 types of volcanic eruptions?
Two types of volcanic eruptions are explosive eruptions, characterized by the violent ejection of lava, ash, and gases, and effusive eruptions, which involve the slow release of lava flows. Explosive eruptions are typically more destructive and can create volcanic ash clouds that pose hazards to aviation and human health. Effusive eruptions, on the other hand, can lead to the formation of lava plateaus and shield volcanoes.
