Maga chamber pipe vent Lavaflow crater extinct Pyroclastic flow dormant geyser What is a Volcano A volcano is usually a cone shaped mountain or hill that opens downward to a pool of molten rock below the surface of the earth. 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 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. Impacts on the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation and Initiation of the Little Ice Age. . Alan . Robock and .

During an eruption . magma. is forced to the Earth’s surface. Magma. – molten rock below the Earth’s surface. Lava – magma that . flows. on the Earth’s surface. 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. Volcanoes are locations where molten rock reaches Earth’s surface, and volcanoes can affect landforms and societies.. What You Will Learn. Distinguish between nonexplosive and explosive volcanic eruptions. . Warning . Know when event is happening. Education . Know what to do when an event happens. Research .
