Mauna Loa Carbon Dioxide
1,498 words... locked into the melted minerals. If volcanic rocks erupt on the earth's crust, such as the Andean volcanoes, then magma can interact with carbonate rocks such as chalk as it travels up through the mantle or lower crust, picking up carbon dioxide on the way. In subduction zones, where the ocean floor goes down into the mantle some carbonate rocks do get taken down and melted, recycling their carbon dioxide content, but this is a minor source compared with the mantle. Carbon is quite common de...

Explosive eruptions can eject liquid and semisolid lava as well as solid fragments of volcanic or nonvolcanic rock that have been carried along by the rising magma before eruption. Very violent explosive eruptions are called Plin ian eruptions, after Roman naturalist Pliny the Elder. These eruptions can last for several hours to days and eject a large amount of pyro...

Lava Flows Mount St
941 wordsThe plates which are about 20 miles thick, make up the earth's crust and are a chief cause of volcanic activity. These plates are always in motion. They move very slowly, however some at times bump in to each other. These movements put a lot of pressure on the surface rock. Volcanoes obtain their energies from such movement and pressure. Volcanoes form at the boundaries of these plate where two types of movement occurs, two plates will collide with each other or the plates will move apart from e...

Shield Volcanoes Plate Tectonics
1,406 wordsWhen there is a sudden breaking of rocks within the earth or an explosion, wave like energy travels through the earth and is recorded on seismographs. These are called seismic waves and they are of two types: body waves and surface waves categorized into different kinds. What we will be discussing are body waves; there are two types of body waves: primary waves (P waves) and secondary waves (S waves). Both kinds travel through the Earths interior in all directions and arrive before the surface w...

Aside from wax and water, there are many other substances that you can use to make the lamp work in the same fashion. For example, you can use mineral oil as the lava and 90 % isopropyl alcohol mixed with 70 % isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol) as the liquid inside the lamp. By mixing the two types of alcohol, you will create a perfect balance. The mineral oil will fall to the bottom in the 90 % alcoh...

Square Miles Miles North
1,106 wordsLateral Blast The sudden removal of the volcano's north flank released pressure on the hydrothermal and magmatic system within the volcano, triggering a devastating lateral blast to the north. The abrupt pressure release, or " uncorking, " of the volcano by the avalanche can be compared in some ways to the removal of the cap from a vigorously shaken bottle of soda pop, or to punching a hole in a boiler tank under high pressure. The northward-directed lateral blast of rock, ash, and hot...
