The type of eruptions you can expect from a volcano largely depends on its magma composition and the tectonic setting. Volcanoes with basaltic magma, often found at divergent boundaries or hotspots, typically exhibit effusive eruptions, producing lava flows. In contrast, those with more viscous, silica-rich magma, often associated with convergent boundaries, tend to have explosive eruptions, characterized by ash clouds and pyroclastic flows. Overall, the eruption style can range from gentle lava flows to violent explosive events.
What else can I help you with?
Volcanoes typically have the most explosive eruptions?
Large explosive eruptions are generally characteristic of stratovolcanoes.
What type of volcano is Hawaii?
Hawaii has shield volcanoes, which are broad, gently sloping volcanoes characterized by eruptions of relatively fluid lava that creates a wide base. These volcanoes are formed by repeated eruptions of low viscosity basaltic magma.
What type of volcano is the pelean volcano?
Pelean eruptions are most commonly seen at stratovolcanoes, which can also be called composite volcanoes.
What type of plate boundary causes volcanic eruptions?
There are two plate boundaries that cause volcanoes. They are the divergent and convergent plate boundaries.
What type of eruption does basaltic magma have?
The type of volcano and eruption from basaltic magma would be a cinder cone volcano. The eruption would be a mild explosive eruption. It would be mainly ash and scoria.
What type of lithosphere are volcanoes that always have nonexplosive eruptions located?
they are on oceanic lithosphere.
Volcanoes typically have the most explosive eruptions?
Large explosive eruptions are generally characteristic of stratovolcanoes.
What kind of explosions do composite volcanoes?
Composite volcanoes have subduction zone eruptions. Some of the most spectacular of volcanoes such as Krakatoa and Mt. St. Helen's have had this type of explosion.
What type of volcano is Hawaii?
Hawaii has shield volcanoes, which are broad, gently sloping volcanoes characterized by eruptions of relatively fluid lava that creates a wide base. These volcanoes are formed by repeated eruptions of low viscosity basaltic magma.
What determine the type of volcano?
Its magma composition.different types of volcanic eruptions form different types of volcanoes
What type of industry might you expect to find on land near volcanoes?
steam
The Indonesian islands have volcanoes with a reputation for violent eruptions The volcanoes in the Hawaiian Islands seldom erupt violently What is the most likely explanation for the difference betw?
the type of lava
Why does Scotland not get volcanic eruptions?
There are no active volcanoes in Scotland, only extinct ones which do not erupt. However, according to recent scientific research, there is evidence of lightweight UK earthquakes and the re-activation of dormant pre-historic volcanoes. So, we might even expect some 'Vesuvius' type volcanic activity in the future.
What type of volcano is the pelean volcano?
Pelean eruptions are most commonly seen at stratovolcanoes, which can also be called composite volcanoes.
What type of scientists tracks volcanoes?
Volcanologists are scientists who study and monitor volcanoes. They analyze volcanic activity, predict eruptions, and assess potential hazards to help protect nearby communities.
What type of plate boundary causes volcanic eruptions?
There are two plate boundaries that cause volcanoes. They are the divergent and convergent plate boundaries.
What type of eruption does basaltic magma have?
The type of volcano and eruption from basaltic magma would be a cinder cone volcano. The eruption would be a mild explosive eruption. It would be mainly ash and scoria.
