How much money is a volcanic rock worth?
The value of volcanic rocks can vary greatly depending on factors such as size, rarity, and quality. Some smaller volcanic rocks may only be worth a few dollars, while larger, more unique specimens could be valued at hundreds or even thousands of dollars to collectors or for decorative purposes. It is best to have the rock appraised by a professional to determine its specific value.
Volcanoes are fairly evenly distributed all over the world?
Volcanoes are not evenly distributed around the world. They are mostly located along tectonic plate boundaries, such as the Ring of Fire in the Pacific Ocean, where subduction zones and mid-ocean ridges create conditions for volcanic activity. There are also isolated volcanic hotspots, like Hawaii, that are not near plate boundaries.
A volcano that is fairly symmetrical and has both layers of lava and pyroclastic deposits is a what?
A volcano that is fairly symmetrical and has both layers of lava and pyroclastic deposits is a stratovolcano, also known as a composite volcano. These volcanoes are characterized by their steep-sided conical shape and alternating layers of lava flows, volcanic ash, and pyroclastic debris. They are capable of explosive eruptions due to their viscous magma composition.
Where is the most CO2 that has outgassed from Earth's volcanoes in the atmosphere escaped to space locked up in rocks?
The majority of the CO2 that has outgassed from Earth's volcanoes into the atmosphere has been converted into carbonate rocks through weathering processes. This CO2 is trapped in rocks such as limestone, dolomite, and marble over geological time scales.
Why are Hawaiians volcanic eruptions less violent?
Compared with some other volcanoes around the world, the Hawaiian volcanoes are fed by low-viscosity magma with a low gas content. The explosive power of a volcanic eruption is driven by gas trapped in the magma, and magma that is more viscous allows more pressure to build up. The magma in the Hawaiian volcanoes flows out fairly readily.
You find a type of volcanic rock that is fairly smooth and has only a few small holes made when gas and water vapor escaped as the rock cooled. You know that the rock can be classified as .?
The rock can be classified as basalt. Basalt is a fine-grained volcanic rock that forms from the rapid cooling of lava at Earth's surface. The small holes in the rock are likely vesicles, which are created when gas and water vapor escape as the molten lava solidifies.
Is there other land forms like Krakatoa?
Yes. Volcanic islands are fairly common.
Is volcanic acticity frequent?
It depends on the specific volcano. Some are fairly active, while others remain dormant.
Is sharm el sheikh classified as long?
it is fairly long - but not the longest - a place in New Zealand called Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateapokaiwhenuakitanatahu
Why doesn't pumice or obsidian turn into a metamorphic rock?
Pumice and obsidian are both forms of volcanic glass, which weathers away fairly easily.
What is the history of Hawaii land formation?
The islands that make up Hawaii are created by volcanic activity. Some of the volcanoes are now dormant but there is at least one volcano that is still considered active and has "erupted" fairly recently.
Why aren't there diamond mountains on earth?
Diamonds form at such depths and pressures that they only reach the surface through explosive kimberlite volcanic eruptions which could spread them over a fairly wide region. Kimberlite volcanic eruptions are not known for their mountain building capabilities.
Who declared Oswald of killing JFK?
He was first suspected because he escaped the Book Depository, the only employee to run. After he murdered Officer Tippet, it became fairly obvious-- why would an innocent man murder a police officer?
How do you use lava to learn about the ages of sedimentary rock?
It is fairly easy to determine the age of lava or volcanic ash using radiometric dating, but much harder with sedimentary rock. But, if a layer of sedimentary rock is in between two layers of volcanic rock, then we know if had to have formed after the first layer and before the second one. If we know how old the volcanic layers are, then we have a general idea of how old the sedimentary layer is as well.
What The first attempt to classify living organisms was made by .?
Aristotle made a classification of living things. There were probably others earlier than him, but his is fairly sophisticated. He classified whales as mammals, for example.
How popular is the Devil Beside You show?
The show the Devil Beside You was a fairly popular show when it came out. Its classified as a comedy and romance and went until September 2005. The show originates from Taiwan.
What are the easiest miniclip awards to earn?
If you are good with a mouse, I'd say that Polar Jump is fairly easy to get medals on!
