A volcano formed from acid lava, which is viscous and solidifies near the vent, therefore it has steep slopes. Since lava solidifies near the vent, it might block the vent. When pressure builds up and there will be a violent eruption. They are also known as stratovolcanoes

What type of volcano forms a lava dome?

Acid Lava Dome is a type of volcano that forms when viscous acid lava solidifies quickly to form a volcano with steep convex sides.


When a volcano erupts sulfur oxides are released into atmosphere. how does this volcano eruption affect preparation?

When a volcano erupts and releases sulfur oxides, these gases can lead to the formation of sulfuric acid in the atmosphere, contributing to acid rain. This can harm vegetation, water sources, and infrastructure, prompting the need for enhanced preparation and response plans. Additionally, the air quality may deteriorate, necessitating public health measures to protect vulnerable populations. Overall, understanding these effects is crucial for developing effective mitigation strategies to minimize the eruption's impact.


Can a lake near a volcano become acidic?

Yes, a lake near a volcano can become acidic due to volcanic activity. When a volcano erupts, it can release gases such as sulfur dioxide, which can dissolve in water and form sulfuric acid, lowering the pH of the lake. Additionally, the leaching of minerals from volcanic rocks can also contribute to increased acidity. These changes can significantly impact the ecosystem of the lake.


Is Taal Volcano a shield volcano?

No. It is a complex volcano, with multiple features resulting from varying types of eruption.

Do volcanic gas and acid droplets make the climate hotter?

volcanic gas and acid droplets can make the climate hotter because volcano gas is very hot and volcano acid is hot to so volcanic gas and acid can make the climate hotter no matter what.

Why there are bubbles in the project volcano?

Because the vinegar (an acid) reacts with the baking soda (a base) when mixed.


Is there an acid stronger than lava?

Lava is not an acid, but rather molten rock that comes from a volcano. There are acids that are stronger than lava, such as sulfuric acid or hydrochloric acid, which can dissolve many materials through their corrosive properties.

What is the percentage of acid in acid rain?

Acid Rain is extremely uncommon. This only happens when there is a volcano near a factory. Usually, factories are far away from when volcanoes are likely to erupt. Then the smoke from the volcano and the factory interacts each other, they form acid cloud. Acid cloud cause acid rain to fall. Acid Rain is common in Venus even though there is no factory because there are a lot of volcanoes on Venus and Venus's atmosphere is full of carbon dioxide. To prevent acid rain, do not build factories nearby a mountain that the volcano is likely to erupt or the volcano have erupted before. The chance of an acid rain is extremely unlikely and extremely tiny amount of chance which is less than a per thousand and it's even smaller and smaller and it's almost impossible but it's still possible, just super unlikely that it looks like it's impossible. Acid Rain is harmful because it kills some animals and plants.


What are some acids that are found in a volcano?

How do you build a fake volcano for science?

You mix together carbon bicoabonate soda and vinegar or a very strong source of citric acid.


Why might a major volcano eruption lead to cooler temperatures over a large area around the area?

Because when the volcano erupts it lets all the hot volcanic acid and lava out of the ground making the earth's surface cooler.
