It depends. Steam from an eruption may rise several thousand feet into the air. Eruption columns, which are composed of ash rather than smoke, may be several miles tall. The very tallest may be over 20 miles high.

If the magma of a volcano has a high amount of dissolved gas what type of eruption will the volcano have?

Typically, high viscosity, high gas magma results in a Plinian (explosive) eruption. The gas pulverizes the magma into ash and may form lateral pyroclastic flows.


Does a composite volcano have a high gas content?

Yes. Composite volcanoes often have a high gas content in their magma, which is why they often erupt explosively.


Does a cinder cone volcano have a high or low gas content?

Cinder cone volcanoes typically have a high gas content due to the gas-rich magma that erupts explosively, creating ash and cinder deposits around the vent.


What happens when boiling water is thrown into cold air?

When boiling water is thrown into cold air, it quickly evaporates and turns into water vapor. This happens because the cold air causes the hot water to cool rapidly, leading to a phase change from liquid to gas.


What Tend to increase the explosive potential of magma body beneath a volcano?

high viscosity and dissolved gas


When volcano throws lava onto the air called?

When a volcano throws lava into the air, it is called a lava fountain or a lava fountain eruption. This happens when gas bubbles within the lava force it out of the volcano's vent, causing it to shoot upward in a fiery display.


What is it called when a volcano ejects gas?

A volcano " vents " gas when pressure builds up


A volcano with a magma supply which is felsic and has a high viscosity will tend to have what type of eruption?

A volcano with felsic magma and high viscosity will likely have explosive eruptions due to the build-up of pressure from gas bubbles being trapped within the thick magma. This can lead to violent eruptions with ash, gas, and volcanic rocks being ejected forcefully from the volcano.


How is gas stored in a volcano?

Gas is stored in the Magma chamber at the bottom of the volcano, along with the magma.


How does a volcano interrupt?

A volcano can interrupt by releasing ash, gas, and lava which can cause destruction to surrounding areas. Additionally, volcanic eruptions can lead to earthquakes and tsunamis which can further disrupt the environment and communities.


Is galeras volcano cinder composite or shield?
