They usually use the temperature of they day. They can also take a sample of the dirt and they multiply the temperature of the day X the dirt temperature and that is how hot it was.

Can people be killed by volcanoes?

people can get killed by volcanoes because if the lava hit you you'd burn to death because its so hot.


Why do volcanoes get hot?

Volcanoes bring up material from deep within the earth. earth's interior is very hot.


Do volcanoes occur in hot countries?

Volcanoes can occur in hot countries, but they are not exclusive to them. Volcanoes are often found along tectonic plate boundaries where magma from the Earth's mantle can reach the surface. This can happen in both hot and cold regions.


Which volcanoes are located at hot spots?

Hot spots have generated all types of volcanoes but are most often. If you mean to ask about specific volcanoes, there are too many to count, so a few groups and notable volcanoes will be listed: The volcanoes of Hawaii The volcanoes of the Canary Islands The Yellowstone supervolcano The San Francisco volcanic complex (including Sunset Crater and the San Francisco Peaks) The volcanoes of Iceland (associated with both a hot spot and a divergent plate boundary).


How are hot spot volcanoes different from volcanoes in other places?

Hot spot volcanoes such as those in Hawaii and the Yellowstone Caldera form as a result of extra hot material rising from deep within the mantle. While most volcanoes can only form near plate boundaries, hot spot volcanoes can form in the middle of a tectonic plate. Unlike at subduction zones, which are generally associated with stratovolcanoes, hot spots that form under oceanic crust typically produce shield volcanoes. Hot spots under continental crust can be more complicated and have produced every variety of volcano.

Scientists know that there are volcanoes on Venus because images from satellites show features like rivers. Since Venus is too hot to have water, the rivers are more likely flowing lava.
