Volcano Video Part 1/2 Two geologists have been testing there hypothesis of volcanoes trying to predict when they will erupt. Cheutt has been using A/B types to forecast an eruption of volcanoes while Stan Williams uses gas to monitor sulfur dioxide from volcanoes to predict when they it will also erupt. Both geologists’ methods worked. In a situation, like a volcanic eruption, people shouldn’t sit around questioning about whether they should evacuate or not. People should hit the road because

volcano A volcano is a place on the earths surface for any other planets or moons surface) where molten rock and gases erupt through the earths crust.Volcanoes vary quite a bit in their structure-some have rocks in the earths crust where lava erupts, and some are domes, shields, or mountain-like structures with a crater at the summit.Magma is molten rock within the earths crust.When magma erupts through the earths surface it is called lava. Lava can be thick and slow-moving or thin and fast-moving

Aloha! Greetings from Kilauea Volcano, located on the Big Island of Hawaii! As you can tell, the landscape is a sea of orange lava as far as the eye can see. Around 1,500 years ago, this region was inhabited by the natives of Polynesia, a region in Oceania (“Australia and Oceania: Physical Geography”). This polytheistic group believed that Kilauea was home to Pele, the goddess of all volcanoes. They would offer sacrifices to keep her happy. Also, when Kilauea would erupt, they believed that Pele

1. What is a volcano? A volcano is an opening, or rupture, in the surface or crust of the Earth or a planetary mass object, which allows hot lava, volcanic ash and gases to escape from the magma chamber below the surface. 2. How is volcano formed? Volcanoes form when hot material from below rises and leaks into the crust. This hot material, called magma, comes either from a melt of subducted crustal material, and which is light and buoyant after melting, or it may come from deeper in the

1.0 Abstract: This report investigates the largest active volcano in the world, the Yellowstone volcano. Volcanic landforms in general are initially described. Then it focuses on how this volcano has formed a caldera, and on the characteristic cauldron-like structure and its composition of basaltic and rhyolitic magma. Each individual landform, such as the Yellowstone Caldera volcano, is formed by specific processes and present distinct interactions with their surrounding environment. This as

Guidebook for Aerial Volcano Formation of Aerial Volcano What is a volcano? What is a volcano? A volcano is a mountain that extends downwards to a pool of molten rock called magma below the Earth’s surface. When the pressure inside the Earth builds up, a volcanic eruption occurs. Magma shoots up through the opening and flows down the sides. Volcanoes can also spew volcanic ash when it erupts. What is pyroclastic flow? Aerial Volcano is an active stratovolcano that erupts pyroclastic flow. Pyroclastic
