Is a summit eruption like an explosive eruption?
A summit eruption can involve explosive activity, but not always. Summit eruptions can also involve effusive lava flows or steady emissions of ash and gas. The specific type of eruption depends on factors such as the magma's composition, gas content, and the volcano's plumbing system.
What do you call the material that erupts a volcano?
The material that erupts from a volcano is called lava. It consists of molten rock that flows out during an eruption.
What is Mt fuji's eurption style?
Mount Fuji's eruption style is classified as explosive. Explosive style volcanoes typically shoot gas, dust, rocks, and pyroclatic material up into the air. They are considered one of the most dangerous styles.
When molten rock erupts on earths surface it is called?
Igneous rock that flowed out of the surface if lava; lava blown out of explosive eruptions is Volcanic Ash, or Tuff.
Does Mount Etna have a explosive or nonexplosive eruption?
As of 2010, Popocatepetl is erupting. According to the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History, continuous activity since Jan. 2005 has resulted in phreatic explosions, which occur when molten lava contacts water. In Popocatepetl's case the water inside the crater comes from the heat of the rising magma melting the glaciers on its peak.
Is a material magma?
No. Magma is molten rock that has not erupted. After it erupts it may or may not form pyroclastic material depending on how explosive the eruption is.
What is the eruption type for Mount Vesuvius?
usually when it erupts its pretty much effusive or explosive

How can the composition of magma affect the way volcano erupts?
If the composition of the magma is high in silica, the eruption will be explosive. The Eruption of Mt. St. Helens was an explosive eruption. If the composition of the magma is low in silica, it will produce a quiet eruption. The eruption(s) of Mt. Kilauea are quiet eruptions.

How does explosive eruption produce pyroclastic flow?
During an explosive eruption, a volcano sends out superheated ash, gas, and rock. Depending on the nature of the eruption, pyroclastic flows can develop in three ways:A lateral blast directly ejects the flow, though this is a rather rare event. In another scenario, dense pyroclastic material erupts and spills out of the vent or over the crater rim. In still other cases a vertical eruption column collapses and material flows downhill.In all cases the flow involves a mass of ash, rock, and gas that is too dense to rise on its own, and instead hugs the ground.Most pyroclastic flows are produced during explosive eruptions of stratovolcanoes.
What kinda of lava does a explosive volcano consist of?
When a volcano erupts explosively it does not produce lava; it produces ash and pumice. The magma involved in an explosive eruption is usually felsic or intermediate. Rhyolite, dacite, and andesite are the most commonly discussed in beginner-level geology classes. However, if water gets into the volcano any type of magma can produce an explosive eruption.
What is a volcanic discharge?
A volcano erupts because there is mass pressure under it. In a volcano there is hot, melted rock called lava. The hot lava produces gasses that build up underground until there is too much for the rock to contain, that makes the eruption. When there is too much, it bursts the volcano. There are two types of eruptions. Non explosive and explosive. When they are explosive, it is caused by clouds of hot debris and gases.
When molten rock erupts on earths surface it is called?
Igneous rock that flowed out of the surface if lava; lava blown out of explosive eruptions is Volcanic Ash, or Tuff.
What about magma affects how explosive an eruption will be?
The composition of the magma affects how explosive a volcanic eruption will be.
Does mount mayon have quiet eruption or explosive eruption?
its like josephs farts explosive!
