Does it spew lava or ash or flow?
A volcano can spew lava, ash, or a combination of both during an eruption. The type of eruption depends on various factors, including the volcano's composition, gas content, and eruption style. Lava flows are common in effusive eruptions, while explosive eruptions can generate ash clouds.
Do Ocean basins get wider as a result of sea floor spreading?
No, it doesn't because the formation of the Earths crust and the rate of which the sea floor that is shifting away from the ridge is pretty similar. An example is the Mid Atlantic Ridge, the amount of crust that is formed is actually greater than the continental plates pulling away from the ridge. How do we know? The Hawaii Islands are the result of the volcanic activity that is in "overdrive" and the magma is building up quicker than the tectonic plates are pulling apart. It would be impossible for the continents to shift if the rate of which the crust formation was slower than the movement of the continents away from the rift system they were created. It is not possible for them to grow or shrink in size as long as there are weak spots in the Earths crust. However we actually need there to be weak spots in the Earth's crust, according to the most recent studies on how life began, life started deep in the oceans in the ridges that forms the Earths crust, there are huge underwater volcanoes that spew out lava and toxic gasses. There the first single cell organism was formed because of an apparent chemical reaction. There is no life on Mars because it has no weaknesses in it's crust.
Cone shaped mountains that spew out lava or gas?
These mountains are likely volcanoes, with the conical shape formed by layers of hardened lava and volcanic ash. The lava and gas are released during volcanic eruptions, which occur when pressure builds up beneath the Earth's surface and forces magma to the surface. Eruptions can vary in intensity and can have significant impacts on the surrounding environment.
Why do shallow earthquakes occur at divergent boundaries?
because the magma gets so hot in these areas that it spew up using the vents. It is shallow because that is where the magma is the hottest- aka only magma that can make it through the hydrothermal vents penis
What is the purpose for magma?
Magma is a product of earth processes. To say it has a purpose may be a subjective statement.**The first question this raises is: what exactly is this "material from the inside"? On our planet, it's magma, fluid molten rock. This material is partially liquid, partially solid and partially gaseous.magma production around plate boundaries. This interplatevolcanic activity is caused by unusually hot mantle material forming in the lower mantle and pushing up into the upper mantle. The mantle material, which forms a plume shape that is from 500 to 1000 km wide, wells up to create a hot spot under a particular point on the earth. Because of the unusual heat of this mantle material, it melts, forming magma just under the earth's crust. The hot spot itself is stationary; but as a continental plate moves over the spot, the magma will create a string of volcanoes, which die out once they move past the hot spot. The Hawaii volcanoes were created by such a hot spot, which appears to be at least 70 million years old.So what happens to the magma formed by these processes? We saw that the magma produced at ocean ridges just hardens to form new crust material, and so doesn't produce spewing land volcanoes. There are a few continental ridge areas, where the magma does spew out onto land; but most land volcanoes are produced by subduction zone volcanism and hot spot volcanism.When the solid rock changes form to a more liquid rock material, it becomes less dense than the surrounding solid rock. Because of this difference in density, the magma pushes upward with great force (for the same reason the helium in a balloon pushes up through the denser surrounding air and oil pushes upward through denser surrounding water). As it pushes up, its intense heat melts some more rock, adding to the magma mixture.The magma keeps moving through the crust unless its upward pressure is exceeded by the downward pressure of the surrounding solid rock. At this point, the magma collects in magma chambers below the surface of the earth. If the magma pressure rises to a high enough level,or a crack opens up in the crust, the molten rock will spew out at the earths surface.
Why volcanoes are commonly found of the edges of earths moving plate?
This is where the weaknesses in the earths crust lie and it is the easiest place for lava to spew out of these weaker areas, therefore forming volcanoes
Coned-shaped mountains that spew out lava or gas?
Those are likely volcanoes, which are formed when magma from beneath the Earth's crust erupts onto the surface. The lava and gas that spew out are a result of the intense pressure building up within the volcano.
Does San Andreas Fault spew lava?
no
Does it spew lava or ash or flow?
A volcano can spew lava, ash, or a combination of both during an eruption. The type of eruption depends on various factors, including the volcano's composition, gas content, and eruption style. Lava flows are common in effusive eruptions, while explosive eruptions can generate ash clouds.
What are cone shaped mountains that spew out lava or gas?
Cone shaped mountains that spew out lava or gas are called volcanoes. They form when molten rock (magma) from within the Earth's crust is forced to the surface through vents and erupts explosively or effusively. Volcanoes can be found in various locations around the world and are associated with tectonic plate boundaries.
Can a rocks exist in a state other than a solid?
Volcanoes spew lava. Lava is molten rock. Molten rock is liquid.
Do some volcanoes spew cold stuff?
yes they can occur on icy moons of the outer solar systems, and spew ice and ilquid gases instead of lava.
What are the most devastating volcanoes?
ones that spew lava straight up and those that make a lot of ash
What types of lava erupts from kilauea volcano?
Pahoehoe lava comes out of the Kilauea volcano. Hope I helped. But hey, do you know any other volcanoes that spew pahoehoe? Need help on homework. Answer it!
If I were making a science project what should I make?
You can never fail with a standard Volcano. Even better if you can get it to erupt in front of the class and spew lava.
Does Mount St Helens spew pahoehoe pillow Aa or Blocky lava?
Mount St. Helens mainly produces blocky lava (andesitic) during its eruptions. However, the volcano has also had episodes where it spewed pahoehoe lava due to changes in eruptive style.
Why are volcano's bad?
Because they spew lava and ash everywhere, which means that it would destroy property and vegetation. Volcanoes also create a poisonous gas for humans called carbon monoxide.
