What else can I help you with?
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
Which is not a kind of surface water pond stream aquifer or runoff?
underground aquifers
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!
What heats underground water?
Underground water can be heated by geothermal energy as a result of the Earth's internal heat. This heat comes from the radioactive decay of minerals deep within the Earth's crust and can warm up groundwater to create geothermal reservoirs. Additionally, proximity to volcanic activity can also heat underground water.
Geothermal energy is possible where there is what?
Geothermal energy is possible where there is hot magma near the Earth's surface, which heats underground water to create steam. This steam can then be harnessed to generate electricity through geothermal power plants.
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.
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 an area where magma that is close to the surface heats ground water?
A hydrothermal system is an area where magma close to the surface heats up groundwater. This process creates geothermal features like geysers, hot springs, and fumaroles. The heat from the magma warms the water, causing it to rise to the surface and release steam and mineral-rich water.
What is an underground molten mixture of rock- forming substances gases and water from the mantle?
A magma.
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".
Will the sea drain away in an underwater volcanic eruption?
No, because as the magma rises from underwater volcanoes it heats the water causing it to rise. The magma then solidifies. Therefore when the volcano is active it is always heating the water around it. When the magma stops flowing then the volcano will solidify.
What dissolves under pressure are trapped in magma underground?
Gases, such as water vapor and carbon dioxide, dissolve in magma when it is under pressure deep underground. As the magma rises to the surface and pressure decreases, these gases can come out of solution, leading to volcanic eruptions.
