Why would lichen grow first on a island formed by a volcanic eruption?
linchen would grow first because its a type of organism that is likely to appear in most volcani eruptions
Predict where the next volcanic hawaiian island will form?
The next volcanic Hawaiian island is likely to form to the southeast of the Big Island of Hawaii, as the underlying hot spot that creates the islands is currently moving in a northwest direction. It is expected to emerge from the sea as a seamount first and gradually develop into a new island over millions of years.
What is the first word in taxonomy?
I believe you are asking what the first word of an organism's scientific name is. If that is the case, the first word in an organism's scientific name is the organism's taxonomic genus.
When did surtsey first appear?
i think God ate some mexican food then farted and surtsey was formed then scientists were like yolo lets call this surtsey!
What is Surtsey made of?
The island of Surtsey did not exist until the 14th of November 1963*Surtsey is Icelandic and means "Surtur's Island"The source of the lava that formed Surtsey was the Mid-Atlantic-Ridge (MAR). The MAR is part of a system of Mid-Ocean-Ridges that together form the longest mountain chain on Earth.The islands mode of formation (eruption of lava into water) means that the rock (known as Scoria) is very easily weathered and eroded meaning that the island has decreased in size ever since the volcanic eruption stopped.*This was the day when the solidified lava from an undersea eruption just south of Iceland first broke the surface of the Atlantic.For more information, please see the related link.
Which organism would probably be the first to grow on a new volcanic island A coconut palm tree B pine seedling C Blackberry bush D Grass?

How did Easter Island first begin?
Easter Island is a volcanic island who's last volcanic activity was about 10,000 years ago
Where do atolls form?
Atolls are formed first as a reef that fringes a volcanic island. The two largest atolls are Suvadiva in the Maldives Island and Kwajalein in the Marshall Islands.
How do sea mounts become volcanic islands?
First of all there are different kinds of sea mounts, in reference to your question it would have to be a volcanic sea mount to begin with. It would become a volcanic island by continuing to erupt until it broke the surface of the ocean. Some excellent examples of volcanic sea mounts that became volcanic islands are the Hawaiian Islands
Where do atolls develop?
an atoll is formed first as a reef that fringes a volcanic island.As the island sinks(after the volcanic activity has ceased and the crust has cooled, becoming denser), the reef continues to build upward, eventually ending up as a ring-shaped structure
What would happen first in order for a new island to be created by volcanic eruption?
Magma must find its way toward the surface of the crust.
Protection from long term exposure to volcanic gases?
A gas mask, but you probably shouldn't be there in the first place if it was a high concentration of these gases.
What island of the Bahamas is probably where Columbus first landed in the New World?
San Salvador

What is the name of the highest volcanic mountain in the north island?
Mt Ruapehu is the highest volcanic mountain in the North Island, and is an active volcano, notable for its crater lake. It is relatively active, with an average of 50 years or so between major eruptions, but it has had about 50 minor events since 1945. It first erupted about 250 000 years ago, and is part of the Taupo Volcanic Zone. It has ski fields on its slopes in winter, and volcanic warnings are part of the safety feature of these skifields.
