How is the ash related to volcano?
Volcanic ash forms when rock or liquid magma is reduced to tiny fragments by an explosive eruption.
What is a event when a volcano enjects gas liquid and solid materials into the atmosphere and surrounding area?
This is the description of a volcanic eruption.A eruption.
What is it called when a volcano ejects gas and liquid?
It is called Eruption.
What is volcanic ash?
Volcanic ash tends to contain a mixture of tiny, sharp pieces of rock and glass, made from liquid droplets volcano that have cooled quickly. It's abrasive and mildy acidic and is known as tephra. Volcanic ash is expelled with great force from a volcano during an eruption. When the ash falls, it is hot and deadly, and can ignite fires, and it can also be spread over a very wide area by winds.
Is volcanic rock a rock?
Volcanic rock refers to a rock that forms from the molten material released by a volcano or a volcanically active site. Because all the molten material, called lava or magma, from a volcano is simply rock at a liquid state, is still rock, yes, volcanic rock is just a rock.
What determines the types of volcanic eruption?
The most common type of volcanic eruption occurs when magma (the term for lava when it is below the Earth's surface) is released from a volcanic vent. Eruptions can be effusive, where lava flows like a thick, sticky liquid, or explosive, where fragmented lava explodes out of a vent.
Why do some volcanoes erupt ash and others lava?
The style of the volcanic eruption is very dependent on the amount of dissolved gas that is in the magma (liquid rock below the surface). If there is a high gas content the volcanic eruption will be explosive and create a log of ash. If the gas content is low the eruption produces more lava flows. An example of a high gas content eruption was the last major eruption of Mt. St. Helens in 1980. An example of a low gas content eruption would be the Hawaiian volcanoes.
How did the eruption of the volcano eruption effect the climate?
During a "volcanic eruption" there's release of materials which can be in either s olid,liquid or gasseous form.Most volcanic mountains contains particles such as "ash","cinder","volcanic dust" and other toxic and highly poisoneous gasses like "sulphur" and "methane".When these gasses are overejected into the atmosphere they distort its composition and could mix with watervapour,condense and fall as "Acid Rain".Some "Greenhouse gasses" are also released into the atmosphere during vulcanic eruptions.These greenhouse gasses mixes with air and captures rays of the Sun preventing them from been reflected back to "outer space" leading to modifications of the climate and promoting "Global Warming".
Is rock a rock?
Volcanic rock refers to a rock that forms from the molten material released by a volcano or a volcanically active site. Because all the molten material, called lava or magma, from a volcano is simply rock at a liquid state, is still rock, yes, volcanic rock is just a rock.
What are the Layers of volcanic eruption?
In a cinder cone volcano, layers of ejected lava are combined with "pyroclastic" layers, formed of "tephra" : hot gas and rock that flow from the cone. The classic volcanic cones are composed of several parts : * Cone - the mound of ash and cinder * Crater * - the main opening, usually at the peak or summit * Vents - openings from the cone * Conduits - the lava channels connected to the vents * Magma chamber - the underground source of the liquid rock for the volcano *A "caldera" is a collapsed area, usually formed when a magma chamber empties. This is distinct from the term crater.
What is the liquid found in volcanic rocks?
If there is liquid in volcanic rocks, it would most likely be water.
How do volcanoesform?
Volcanoes form when magma (liquid rock inside the earth) reaches the surface. Depending on the type and duration of the eruption lava and or tephra can pile up to make a volcano
