Does andesite cool quickly or slowly?
Lava will cool quickly compared to underground magma.
When the vaporization starts?
It starts when water heats up and turns into a gas
Compared to water most metals have low specific heats.?
true
What is a magmatic quake?
A magmatic quake is seismic activity caused by the movement of high pressure magma within the earth's crust. This tends to occur as the pressure within a magma chamber increases which leads to hydraulic fracturing of the surrounding rock mass. This fracturing causes the seismicity or magmatic quake. This sort of small scale seismic activity near a volcano may indicate that the pressure in the magma chamber that feeds the volcano is increasing and in turn may be a precursor to a volcanic eruption and is something that vulcanologists or geophysicists would be on the look out for!
Which is not a kind of surface water pond stream aquifer or runoff?
underground aquifers
What heats underground water?
The inside of the earth because scientists say that the there is some kind of heat found inside of the earth that is an orange color, so that's what heats the water.
What is the definition of a fumarole?
These are vents through which volcanic gases and water vapour escape to the earth's surfaec.Fumaroles are formed when magma heats underground water,it mixes with volcanic gases and the mixture is eventually released as steam.
What does underground water do to a volcano?
Groundwater that comes in contact with magma or rocks heated by magma can boil into steam. If it boils quickly enough it can result in an explosion called a phreatic eruption.
Does volcanic activity create hot springs?
An opening in the ground where hot water and gases escape from magma heated deep underground.
What is an area where magma that is close to the surface heats ground water?
a hot spring or geyser (I believe).
How are volcanoes and geysers related?
A geyser is an underground volcano with water on the surface of it. This water is then boiled by the magma.
What is a geothermic field?
A geothermic field is an area where magma is close to the ground and heats up ground-water.
What is an underground molten mixture of rock- forming substances gases and water from the mantle?
A magma.
How does water get trapped in magma?
It really can't. If water touches magma, it almost instantly evaporates. Magma is far too hot to allow water to be a liquid for more than a few milliseconds. Magma is also one of thE hottest liquids in the world.
How does the presence of water in magma increase the chance of an explosive eruption?
At the temperatures found in magma water would normally be a gas, but is trapped under pressure as long as the magma is underground. When pressure is reduced enough the water vapor can bubble out of the magma very rapidly, resulting in an explosion.
When magma solidifies underground what is it called?
The heating of underground water by magma is called geothermal activity. The word geothermal comes from the Greek geo meaning "Earth" and therme meaning "heat".
Where does magma cool?
Extruded magma (lava) can cool on the surface, or under water. Magma also cools underground, forming intrusive igneous rocks such as granite.
