Although, most volcanoes do errupt with lava there are some that explode with mud they are formed as hot water, which has been heated deep below the earth's surface, begins to mix and blend with various subterranean mineral deposits, thus creating the mud slurry exudate. This material is then forced upwards through a geological fault or fissure due to certain local subterranean pressure imbalances. To be literal though they are not considered volcanoes since to be classified as a volcanoe it must spew forth fiery lava, but they do resemble volcanoes in just about every aspect except the lava of course. Look it up on line its pretty amazing to see.

Do oceanic crust hot spot volcanoes tend to erupt more explosively than other volcanoes?

No, oceanic crust hot spot volcanoes tend to erupt with less explosiveness compared to subduction zone volcanoes. The lava from hot spot volcanoes is typically less viscous, allowing gases to escape easily and reducing the likelihood of explosive eruptions.


What do volcanoes look like at different boundaries?

Volcanoes are holes in the Earth's curst that erupt when lava gets too hot. So when lava starts to boil it starts to look for a hole and epurts.


Do volcanos erupt differently?

Yes, volcanoes can erupt in different ways depending on factors such as the type of magma, the presence of gas or water, and the size and shape of the volcano. Eruptions can range from explosive, where magma is fragmented into ash and rock, to effusive, where lava flows steadily from the volcano. Each eruption type presents unique hazards and impacts.


When volcanoes erupt what erupts along with lava?

When volcanoes erupt, along with lava, gases such as water vapor, carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, and other volatile compounds are also released into the atmosphere. Additionally, ash, rocks, and sometimes even pyroclastic flows (fast-moving, hot clouds of gas, ash, and rock) can erupt from a volcano.


Are all volcanoes destructive?

Volcanoes are only destructive to people and property when they erupt. Volcanoes can lie dormant for decades before they erupt. The Hawaiian Islands were all formed from eruptions of volcanoes in the ocean.

What do volcanoes create?

Volcanoes create land by when they erupt the lava melts and turns into gravel and then forms the lands.

What do all vocanoes share together?

All volcanoes share together the ability to erupt and spew lava. They contain moulted rock which is extremely hot. Some volcanoes are considered to be extinct due to the length of time they have gone since the last eruption.


What is lava flow?

It's the molten rock that comes out of volcanoes when they erupt and that streams downhill while it's still so hot that it is liquid.


Do volcanoes erupt once a lifetime?

A volcano can erupt many times. If the pressure from below builds up too much, the volcano will erupt, throwing out very hot gases and lava, until the pressure has been released.


What makes a volcano to erupt?

the hot lava


Where do more active volcuranos ocurr?

Active volcanoes are found on mainly plate margins, with the few examples of hot spots all over the place (e.g. Moana Loa on Hawaii). Volcanoes found at constructive plate margins are more effusive and erupt basaltic lava (e.g. Iceland) and volcanoes found NEAR destructive plate margins are explosive and erupt either andesitic or rhyolitic lava (e.g. Mount Saint Helens-however this volcano might not erupt for quite a while whereas the other two example erupt very frequently).


What are volacanoes?

A volcano is a mountain or hill and in most cases hot lava erupts from them due to the pressure and energy released inside the Earth. When ash and gases try to escape they erupt into lava which comes from volcanoes.


Why do the volcanoes have to be hot?

because they have to be hot when the lava spils


When you have volcanoes on Mercury would the lava get hotter?

No. While the day side of Mercury is quite hot, it is not nearly as hot as lava. So any lava that would erupt on Mercury would still cool down and solidify. The lack of an atmosphere would mean that the lava would cool more slowly than lava on Earth does.
