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.
A characteristic of lava that determines the force of a volcanic eruption is?
The silica content of the lava plays a key role in determining the force of a volcanic eruption. High silica content makes lava more viscous, leading to more explosive eruptions, while low silica content results in less viscous lava and less explosive eruptions.
What kind of eruption does mount pelee have?
Mount Pelee is known for its explosive eruptions due to the high viscosity of its lava, which traps gas until pressure builds up and causes explosive eruptions. This type of eruption can result in a devastating pyroclastic flow that travels down the volcano at high speeds, as was seen during the 1902 eruption of Mount Pelee.
What type of volcano is made up of only pyroclastic material that results from violent eruption?
A cinder cone volcano is made up of only pyroclastic material that results from a violent eruption. These eruptions typically eject a dense cloud of volcanic ash and other pyroclastic materials like rocks, and can have explosive and destructive outcomes.
What kind of lava does Mount Shasta have?
Mount Shasta primarily produces andesitic lava, which is a type of intermediate lava characterized by a medium viscosity and silica content. This type of lava typically results in eruptions that produce a combination of lava flows and explosive eruptions.
What kind of of volcanic eruption occurs when basaltic magma is present?
Basaltic magma usually produces a Hawaiian or Stombolian style of eruption.
What are some examples of causes of primary succession?
Glaciers that will lead a bare surface or a volcano eruption that results in a barren land

What is a hemorrhagic eruption?
A hemorrhagic eruption is a sudden outpouring of blood, or a rash that results in a sudden outpouring of blood.
What type of eruption results when pyroclastic materials are released?
Composite volcanoes release pyroclastic materials during eruption.
Which volcao results in a violent eruption?
its the composite cone volcano?
Identify and explain the 3 factors that effect the force of a volcanic eruption?
The silica content effects the force of a volcanic eruption because magma with a lot of silica is thicker and magma with less silica is thinner. The amount of dissolved gases in magma effects the force of a volcanic eruption because the less gas in the magma, the less pressure will be inside the volcano. The temperature of the magma effects the force of a volcanic eruption because the hotter the magma, the more runny it is.
What kind of volcanic eruption happens when granite magma is present?
Granitic magma is highly viscous, meaning it has a high resistance to flow. Granitic magma does not reach the surface very often. It cools underground, thus we have granite. If granitic magma actually reaches the surface it would result in a highly explosive eruption.
