What are the two types of nonlava flows caused by volcanic activity that can be very destructive?
1. a Lahar (a mudslide)
2. a Fumaroles (dangerous/poisonous gases)
OR (either one, sorry for the inconvenience)
1. Cinders (clumps of ash as large from 2 - 64mm.)
2. Bombs (blocks of lava that flies through the air along with the ash, these usually fall within 3km[2mm] of a volcano's vents)
What else can I help you with?
Was the Grand Canyon formed by a destructive or constructive force?
The Grand Canyon was formed by both destructive and constructive forces. Erosive forces such as the Colorado River carved out the canyon over millions of years, while tectonic uplift and volcanic activity also contributed to its formation.
Why are tectonic and volcanic earthquake more destructive than earthquakes caused by landslides?
Barrels are somehow involved.
Why did Australia have volcanic activity even though it is not located on a plate edge?
Australia's volcanic activity is due to the presence of a hot spot beneath the Earth's crust. This hotspot, located in the southeast of Australia, has caused volcanic activity in the past. The volcanic activity in Australia is not related to plate tectonics like the Ring of Fire, where most volcanic activity occurs.
Are earthquakes caused by volcanic activity or is volcanic activity caused by earthquakes?
In most cases, neither. Most earthquakes are the result of plate tectonics and most volcanoes form from plate tectonics as well, but one does not usually cause the other. However, volcanoes can and do cause earthquakes, espcially if they are getting ready to erupt. On rarer occasions, earthquakes have been suspected of triggering volcanic eruptions.
Is volcanic activity on Venus caused by plate tectonics?
No. Scientists believe that the crust of Venus is too thick to support plate tectonics. Volcanic activity is likely driven by hot spots.
What volcanic activity caused the most destruction in Pompeii?
volcanic activity caused the most destruction in pompeii
What caused the formation of Hawaii?
Volcanic activity.
The Islands of Hawaii are caused by?
They were created by volcanic activity.
What makes the volcanoes crater?
A volcanic crater is a circular depression caused by volcanic activity.

What is a destructive force caused by convection currents in the earths mantle?
Convection currents in the Earth's mantle are thought to be responsible for plate motions and therefore can ultimately be considered the cause of earthquakes. Mantle upwelling or mantle plumes are also thought to be the cause of hotpots which cause intra-plate volcanic activity such as that which occurs in Hawaii.
Is volcanic activity on Venus caused by plate tectonics?
No. Scientists believe that the crust of Venus is too thick to support plate tectonics. Volcanic activity is likely driven by hot spots.
