PPT-Volcanic Eruptions and Hazards

What is a volcano A volcano is a vent or chimney that connects molten rock magma from within the Earth s crust to the Earths surface The volcano includes the surrounding cone of erupted material . The volcanic aerosol cloud forms in several weeks by the conversion of sulfur dioxide SO to sulfate aerosol and its subsequent microphysical transfor mations The resulting cloud of sulfate aerosol particles with a residence time of a couple of years Chapter 5. Rigid Earth to Plate Tectonics. Learning Objectives. Know the different types of volcanoes and their associated features. Understand the relationship of the volcanoes to plate tectonics. Know what geographic regions are at risk from volcanoes. Chapter 9 . Section 1. Volcanic Eruptions. Volcanoes – areas of Earth’s surface through which magma and volcanic gases pass. In seconds a volcanic eruption can turn an entire mountain into a cloud of ash and rock. . Hazards. Limiting Danger from Hazards. Warning . Know when event is happening. Education .

Describe how the locations of volcanoes are related to plate tectonics.. Suggest why volcanoes are found at convergent and divergent plate boundaries.. Describe how . intraplate. volcanoes form.. Volcanic activity takes place primarily at . How and why do volcanoes erupt?. Hot, molten rock (magma) is buoyant (has a lower density than the surrounding rocks) and will rise up through the crust to erupt on the surface.. When . magma reaches the surface it depends on how easily it flows (viscosity) and the amount of gas (H. Warning . Know when event is happening. Education . Know what to do when an event happens.
