VOLCANOES


Volcano

  • A hill, mountain, or fissure from which molten rocks, hot gasses and ashes are ejected.

  • Crater formed by the removal of pre-existing materials, or a hill, or a mountain formed from the accumulation of ejected materials.

Volcanism

♡It happens when underground molten rocks called magma find a path through the lithosphere

Lithosphere is Earth's rigid outer part, made up of crust and upper mantle


Why does magma rise to the Earth's surface

・❥・Since molten rocks are less dense thwn the surrounding solid rocks they have a natural tendency to rise

・❥・ A magma chamber may be squeezed by tectonic forces, creating pressure that pushes the magma upwards


Magma

✎ It is an important material in volcanism

✎The type of magma ejected onto the Earth’s surface influences both the formation and eruption of volcanoes


Properties of magma

✿Viscosity

  • It is the resistance of a fluid to flow.

  • The more viscous a material is, the greater its resistance to flow.

  • High-viscosity magma flows more slowly than low-viscosity magma does.

Content

  • It is the small quantities of volatile elements or compounds where magma’s viscosity depends on.(Silica)


TYPES OF MAGMA

80% of these volcanoes are formed through Convergent Boundaries

15% are formed by Divergent Boundaries

5% are formed by hotspots

Convergent boundaries have plates that move toward each other

Divergent boundaries have plates that move away from each other

a hotspot is an area of the Earth's mantle from which hot plumes rise upward, forming volcanoes on the overlying crust.

Three different types of volcanoes:

Stratovolcano or Composite Volcano:

  • Produced when lava of andesitic composition flows out over a long time.

  • Ejects pyroclastic materials that fall near the summit. This builds a steep-sided mound of cinders. 

  • The mount is built of altering layers of lava and pyroclastic materials

    example: Mt. Mayon, Mt. Pinatubo

Cindercone Volcanoes

  • Built from ejected lava fragments

  • Mainly composed of tephra and cinders.

  • They are small, 300 m high, and are formed near or inside large volcanoes. 

  • The most abundant type of volcano.

  • ex: Smith Volcano

Tephra-airborne pyroclastic material ejected in an eruption

Fumarole-openings in the Earth’s surface that emits steam

Shield Volcano

  • Formed by basaltic lava flow.

  • Since basaltic lava is free to flow, the volcanoes formed have very wide base and are slightly domed.

  • ex: Mauna Loa(Hawaii)

    Parts of a Volcano:

  • Vent-central opening.

  • craters-circular depression connected to the vent

  • conduit-passage in the volcano where magma passes through

  • fumaroles-secondary vents emits steam and gases

  • caldera- larger depressions. believed to happen when the summit(peak) of a volcano collapses

  • Magma Chamber-large pool of magma beneath the Earth’s surface


  • PHIVOLCS: Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology

Active Volcanoes:

  • has erupted within 600-10k years ago

Inactive Volcanoes:

  • no record of eruption

  • some may erupt with little to no warning
