What else can I help you with?
Is Magma found in the ocean?
It can be! There really is no place it can not exist so long as there is volcano to support its existence. There are thousands of volcanos under water!
What is an Atoll formed around?
A long extinct oceanic volcano, when the volcano died the sea floor under it slowly dropper causing the volcano to sink beneath the ocean. As it sank a ring shaped coral reef formed around it and continued growing as the volcanic remnant and the reef on top of it continued sinking. Finally only the reef (and the islands on it) remained visible surrounding a lagoon. No sign of the volcano can be seen on the surface, but sonar scans reveal its remnant as a seamount on the seafloor.
Which type of volcano forms a large cone-shaped mountain from alternating layers of lava flow and volcanic ash?
A volcano that forms very large lava flows and builds itself up that way is known as a shield volcano. This type of volcano may not always erupt from a central summit vent but can have satellite vents (Rift Zones) that will form long channels of lava flows going down the slopes. These volcanoes are often times known as erupting in a very placid style and although can have explosive eruptions are very very rare. A volcano of this type would be either KIlauea or Mauna Loa on the big island of hawaii.
Why do earthquakes usually cause more destruction than volcanoes?
are you asking which is more dangerous because if so volcano's are very dangerous but they don't happen as often as earthquake's. earthquakes would be more dangerous because they happen very often tearing down many home and countries also volcano's are pretty bad as well but there aren't very many of them so the answer would be an earth quake.
How long does grout dry before sealing?
14 to 21 days
How long do a volcano last?
Depends on the volcano, how big it erupts too.
How do you survive a volcane?
Be a long distance a way from the volcano when it erupts.
Do volcanoes erupt only once?
Most volcanoes are active for a long time before dieing. So no an average volcano erupts more than once in its lifetime.
What is the difference between intermittent volcano and active volcano?
An intermittent volcano is one that erupts infrequently and unpredictably, with long periods of dormancy in between eruptions. An active volcano, on the other hand, is one that is currently erupting or showing signs of potential eruption in the near future.
How long does it take for a volcano to turn into a mountain?
After it erupts a certain amount of times it will start to form into a mountain
What is a volcano that does not erupt called?
It can be called an active, dormant or extinct volcano. An active volcano erupts regularly and frequently, however, it might not erupt at some times. A dormant volcano rarely erupts. Therefore, it does not erupt for most of the time. An extinct volcano does not erupt anymore.
What is the different of active and inactive volcano?
Active Volcano erupts from time to time while a inactive volcano hasn't erupted in a long while and may not erupt in the future again. But your never sure if a volcano is truly inactive or not!
Can volcanoes extinct?
No. If a volcano erupts then it is not extinct; during its period of inactivity it would have been dormant. To add to this. Two examples are the long-dormant Soufrière Hills volcano on the island of Montserrat, thought to be extinct before activity resumed in 1995 and Fourpeaked Mountain in Alaska, which, before its September 2006 eruption, had not erupted since before 8000 BC and had long been thought to be extinct. I am sure the odds are the same as winning the lottery every year for life.
How long after a volcano erupts does the land become fertile again?
The volcanic dust spread over arable land enriches the soil because it contains minerals.
What is a dormant volcano?
A dormant volcano, or a sleeping volcano, is a volcano that has been quiet for a long period of time, but has signs that it will erupt again.A dormant volcano is a volcano that hasn't worked for many yearsA dormant volcano is a volcano that is not currently in the process of erupting.
If a volcano erupts is that volcano dead?
No. You see or hear on some shows,"oh, this volcano hasn't erupted since 1907." or something. But then it erupts. Yes, that can happen. A period of a few hundred years isn't very long for a volcano, especially ones that erupt violently. The mountain of a volcano is built up by a series of eruptions over the course of thousands if not millions of years. After erupting a volcano may go dormant for a few years or event a few centuries, but it is not dead and in nearly all cases activity will eventually resume. As once example, the volcano at Yellowstone has not had a magmatic eruption in 70,000 years, but it is still monitored for activity as magma is present beneath it.
What are silent volcanoes?
Silent volcanoes are dormant or extinct volcanoes that are not currently active and do not show any signs of erupting in the foreseeable future. These volcanoes have not erupted for a long period of time and generally do not pose an immediate threat to nearby populations.
