What causes an increase in the number and intensity of small earthquakes before an eruption?
Quakes move nearer to the surface as an eruption approaches. And these "microearthquakes" happen more frequently before an eruption, until all the seismometer can register is a distinctive vibration, slight but continuous, known as a harmonic tremor. The seismic activity associated with volcanism is usually as a result of pressure increases in the magma chamber....
Are the locations of volcanoes and earthquakes similar?
Yes they areBecause if there is going to be a volcano eruption then there will be certain depth of earthquake which will cause the earth surface tear apart and there is volcano.
How high does it have to be on the Richter scale to cause a volcano eruption?
Earthquakes do not cause volcanoes. However, magma moving to the surface rapidly can produce tremors. Volcanoes can cause earthquakes, but not vise-versa.
A mass movement that involves the sudden movement of a block of material along a flat inclined surface is called a?
A mass movement that involves the sudden movement of a block of material along a flat inclined surface is called a "landslide" or more specifically, a "block slide." In this type of mass movement, the material moves rapidly due to gravity, often triggered by factors such as heavy rainfall, earthquakes, or human activities. The flat surface allows for a relatively smooth sliding motion, distinguishing it from other types of mass movements.
When was Mount hood's last eruption date?
The last major eruption was in the late 1780s; the effects of the eruption were viewed by members of the Lewis and Clark Expedition in 1805.
A sudden eruption from the surface of a star such as the sun?
This is known as a solar flare, where a sudden release of magnetic energy from the Sun's surface results in a burst of radiation. Solar flares can affect satellites, communication systems, and power grids on Earth. Additionally, they can create stunning displays of auroras in the sky near the poles.
What is the name for a sudden eruption from the surface of a star such as the sun?
These phenomenon are called solar flares. They are caused by the powerful magnetic fields of the sun interacting and causing an outburst of solar material. Further information, real-time animations and images of solar flares can be seen at NASA's Solar and Heliospheric Observatory site in the related links below.
What is a hemorrhagic eruption?
A hemorrhagic eruption is a sudden outpouring of blood, or a rash that results in a sudden outpouring of blood.
A variable star that undergoes a cataclysmic eruption?
A good example of a variable star that undergoes cataclysmic eruptions is a type of binary star system called a recurrent nova. These stars have a white dwarf that accretes material from a companion star until it reaches a critical mass, resulting in a thermonuclear explosion on the surface. This causes a sudden increase in brightness that can be detected from Earth.
An eruption on the suns surface is a solar what?
An eruption on the sun's surface is a solar flare, which is a sudden and intense release of energy and radiation. Solar flares can create disturbances in Earth's magnetic field and affect communication systems and power grids.
Is eruption an adverb?
No. The word eruption is a noun. The adverb form is "eruptively."
Latin roots which means a sudden burst of material?
Eruption, which is literally "to burst forth", from Latin e- "out of" and rumpere "to break, to burst" means a sudden burst of material.
Magma oozing out of cracks in earth's surface is what kind of eruption?
An major eruption
A sudden outward eruption of electrically charged atomic particles from the sun is called?
A sudden outward eruption of electrically charged atomic particles from the sun is called a solar flare.
What kind of nova is called a new star?
A nova is a sudden, bright outburst of a star that occurs due to the accumulation of hydrogen on the surface of a white dwarf star in a binary star system. While novae can appear as "new stars" in the sky because of their sudden increase in brightness, they are not actually new stars forming, but rather the result of a specific stellar phenomenon.
What is an example of a sudden geologic process?
An example of a sudden geologic process is a volcanic eruption. These events can release massive amounts of lava, ash, and gases in a short period, causing rapid changes to the landscape and environment.
What thing causes sudden changes to the earth's surface?
I can think of four things that cause sudden changes to the earth's surface: Impact of a large object from space (such as Meteor Crater in Arizona), earthquake, volcanic eruption or explosion (Krakatoa is a prime example), and nuclear explosion (the atomic bomb caused very sudden and complete change to Hiroshima and Nagasaki). Every rain shower causes some change to the earth's surface, but I think you were asking about more dramatic examples.
