What forms when the lava ejected is too thick to flow?
When the lava ejected is too thick to flow, it solidifies near the vent and can form a dome-shaped feature called a lava dome. Lava domes are typically made of highly viscous lava, which does not flow easily. They can grow slowly over time as more lava is added to the dome from the eruption.
Is a Dome volcano the same as a Lava Dome volcano?
Yes, a Dome volcano and a Lava Dome volcano are the same. A Dome volcano is characterized by the formation of a dome-shaped mound of lava that accumulates around the volcanic vent. Lava Domes are typically associated with eruptions of viscous lava that solidifies quickly, leading to the dome-like structure.
Which is a rounded volcanic feature that forms when a mass of thick lava slowly erupts from the vent?
This is called a lava dome.
What type of lava does a lava dome hold?
A lava dome holds very viscous lava, which is why it forms a dome rather than flowing away. Usually it is rhyolite or dacite.
When lava hardens over the vent it causes a what cap?
It is called a dome cap.
What volcano has a rounded dome?
Lava Dome Volcano
Is Mt St Helens a lava dome?
No. Mount St. Helens is a stratovolcano. There is a lava dome in the crater.
Is lava dome a type of volcano?
Not exactly. Some volcanoes do consist of simply a lava dome, but most lava domes are found in or on stratovolcanoes.
What is lava dome volcano?
A volcano shaped like a dome.
What are the broad slightly dome-shaped volcanoes called?
a broad-domed volcano is formed by lava flows. the amount of times the volcano has erupted effects how broad the dome would be, because when the lava flows it wears away the dome of the volcano.
What is the length and height of the dome volcano?
its the size my helens lava dome
What kind of lava do lava dome volcanoes contain?
Lava domes usually consist of rhyolite or dacite lava.
