What do volcanoes do when they errupt?
Boiling hot magma spurts out of the top and flows down the volcano's side, sometimes producing an ash cloud, like Eyjafjallajokull, Iceland in 2010.
How do you know when a volcano is not going to erupt?
Geologists monitor several indicators to determine if a volcano is not likely to erupt, including decreased seismic activity, reduced gas emissions, and stable ground deformation. Continuous monitoring and analysis of these parameters help scientists assess the volcano's current state and the level of potential eruptive activity.
Which is hotter lava from a volcano or steam from a geyser?
Lava is far hotter. Steam from a geyser is close to the boiling point of water, which is 212 degrees Fahrenheit at sea level and lower at higher elevations. Lava is far hotter as the material as the melting points are well above the boiling point of lava. The coolest lava in the world, the unique carbonatite lava that erupts from the volcano Ol Doinyo Legnai in Africa, is at a temperature of about 900 to 1,100 degrees Fahrenheit. The most common type of lava is bsalatic lava, which is 2,000 to 2,200 degrees.
Is Taal Volcano a shield volcano?
No. It is a complex volcano, with multiple features resulting from varying types of eruption.
Is arenal volcano a composite volcano or a cindercone volcano?
The arenal volcano is a cindercone volcano not a composite.
What do you call a boiling mudflow from an erupting volcano?
Lava by: Arn2 xD
What describes a volcano?
The best word I think is explosive,active,hot and boiling.
What best describes volcano's?
The best word I think is explosive,active,hot and boiling.
What are some volcanoes that begin with the letter Z?
Some volcano words are: boiling hot lava molten metamorphic rock erupting tall volcano(of course)
What metal can stand against volcano boiling lava?
concrete and iron since they have a very high melting point.
What does a planet need to have a volcano?
the planet doesn't need a volcano. The core of the earth is a hot fiery furnace. Volcanoes are just mountains with a hole in it to let the boiling fire out. If my answer is not correct don't call 12345678910
What is hotter on a heat scale?
The temperature scale is relative, but typically lava from a volcano is hotter than boiling water. The temperature of lava can reach about 1,300 to 2,200 degrees Fahrenheit, while boiling water is at 212 degrees Fahrenheit.

How did Mount Nyiragongo get its name?
Mount Nyiragongo got its name from the local indigenous people who live in the area surrounding the volcano. The name "Nyiragongo" is believed to come from a Rukiga word, which means "the cooking pot." This name likely refers to the boiling lava that can be seen in the volcano's crater.

Where was the gas before it shot out of a volcano?
Much of the gas that comes out of a volcano was originally trapped in the magma under pressure. When the magma encounters lower pressure the gas comes out. The process is similar to soda fizzing when the bottle is opened. some of the gas may be steam the formed from groundwater boiling from the intense heat.
Why do you think water vapor erupt from a volcano instead of liquid water?
A volcano vents water vapor instead of liquid water because that water has been in contact with very hot rocks, well above the boiling point of water. Some of the water vapor comes from the molten magma itself.
