Land based volcanoes are more dangerous to people. More important is the type of lava, based on viscosity. Highly viscous lavas tend to cause explosive eruptions, like Mt. Saint Helens, while low viscosity lava tends to flow after eruption, without the ash and pyroclastic effects associated with highly viscous lavas.

What is more likely to be dangerous a volcano that erupts frequently or a volcano that has been inactive for a hundred years?

inactive volcanoes are the most dangerous volcanoes. think of it like a fart. you are holding the gas in at school or work and when you get home or at a bathroom, you let the gas out and it lasts long or it smells. exactly like a volcano.


Which is more likely to be dangerous---a volcano that erupts frequently or a volcano that has been inactive for a hundred years?

a volcano that hasn't been active for a hundred years because of viscosity which is the resistance to flow and one that has been inactive for a hundred years would have a low viscosity and would stick more for a better but more dangerous explosion.


What is more dangerous and why a volcano that erupts frequently or a volcano that has been inactive for a hundred years?

Usually a volcano that has not erupted in many years poses a greater potential threat. Volcanoes are erupt infrequently are more likely to produce large eruptions.


Why is an earthquake in the ocean more dangerous than one on land?

An earthquake in the ocean is dangerous than on land because in the ocean if it occurs it can generate an earthquake which can cause more destruction than an earthaquake on land


Which is more likely to be dangerous a volcano that erupts frequently or a volcano that has been active for 100 years why?

A volcano that erupts frequently is more likely to be dangerous because it can cause more frequent destruction and pose a continuous threat to nearby areas. However, a volcano that has been active for 100 years could potentially have built up pressure and be primed for a larger, more explosive eruption. Both types of volcanoes can be hazardous in different ways.

If you pour water onto water does it get more wet?

no. water put on water makes more water. its the same as land on land. put land on land, makes more land not dyer land.


How could water help a volcano?

It is unclear what it means to "help" a volcano, but water does tend to make eruptions more explosive.
