Do shield volcanoes produce quiet eruptions and explosive eruptions?
Shielf volcanoes generally produce "quiet" eruptions. Explosive eruptions are rare.
Do shield volcanoes produce quiet or explosive eruptions?
Eruptions at shield volcanoes are almost always non-explosive.
Name the different types of volcanoes according to their shape?
There are three types of volcanoes which have different shapes and types of eruptions. * Shield Volcanoes - are low and flat and have small, flowing eruptions. * Composite Volcanoes - are a mixture between shield volcanoes and cone volcanoes, their eruptions are explosive. * Cone Volcanoes - are the tallest and largest volcanoes, and they have VERY explosive eruptions.
Volcanoes typically have the most explosive eruptions?
Large explosive eruptions are generally characteristic of stratovolcanoes.
What is the name of the explosive types of volcanoes?
Explosive types of volcanoes are typically referred to as stratovolcanoes or composite volcanoes. These volcanoes are characterized by their steep sides and explosive eruptions caused by trapped gases and thick, viscous lava. Examples include Mt. St. Helens in the United States and Mt. Fuji in Japan.
What volcanoes are formed by explosive eruptions that are followed by lava outpourings?
composite volcanoes
What cone volcano is small and explosive?
Cinder cone volcanoes are small with mildly explosive eruptions.
Is a cinder cone volcano non explosive?
Cinder cone volcanoes are generally considered to be non-explosive compared to stratovolcanoes. They typically erupt with fire fountains and release lava flows rather than explosive eruptions with ash and pyroclastic flows. However, some cinder cone eruptions can exhibit some degree of explosivity depending on the gas content of the magma.
Cinder cones are the most potentially dangerous volcanoes because they generate the most explosive eruptions?
While cinder cones do have the potential for explosive eruptions, they are generally considered less dangerous than stratovolcanoes due to their smaller size and lower frequency of eruptions. Stratovolcanoes can produce more violent and destructive eruptions.
Are shield volcanoes explosive?
Very rarely. Shield volcanoes are formed from the eruption of low-viscosity, gas-poor magma which has very little potential to explode. On rare occasions explosive eruptions may occur when magma comes in contact with groundwater.
The most explosive volcanic eruptions are associated with what type of volcano?
The most explosive volcanic eruptions are typically associated with stratovolcanoes, also known as composite volcanoes. These volcanoes have steep profiles and are characterized by a combination of explosive eruptions and lava flows, primarily due to their viscous magma, which can trap gas. The buildup of pressure from gas accumulation leads to violent eruptions, as seen in volcanoes like Mount St. Helens and Mount Vesuvius.
What types of volcanoes have explosive eruptions?
Strato and Cinder-cone volcanos but cinder cones can have non explosive too but not strato
