How can the Yellow Stone super volcano be a composite volcano if it is on a hotspot?
Q. On the National Geographic Channel, a park ranger labeled the Yellow Stone volcano as a hotspot-volcano. Most volcanoes over hot spots are shield volcanoes, like the Hawaiian Islands. However, Yellow Stone acts like a composite volcano. In addition, if it is in deed hotspot-volcano, then shouldn't there be other dormant volcanoes following the shift of the tectonic plate?

A. Yellowstone is fueled by a Hotspot. A hotspot is simply a location at the earths crust where magma from the mantle releases heat and in turn shapes the crust. Yellowstone has a hotspot trail which has developed over many eruptions while the plates were in motion. The hotspot is more difficult to track than the Hawaiian Island chain but by using various dating techniques and carefully analyzing the surrounding rocks geologists have been able to identify several such hotspot eruptions over a period of approximately 17 million years.

A. Which type of these three volcanoes have the lowest silca content? Shield Volcano low silica content produces a fluid lava that flows out of a vent and builds up layer upon layer producing a "classic" volcanic cone shape. Which has the highest temperature lavas? Shield Volcano. Their lava flows are generally very hot and very fluid Which has the lowest viscosity? Shield Volcano. Extruded materials from this type of volcano mainly consist of low viscosity basaltic lava flows

A. It was actually at a hot spot. I don't know the name but it's the spot that's racist against European ppl! Now alot of them are stranded. It's been erupting for almost two weeks now, much longer than Pinatubo. A lot of gases and ash came out which is likely to rise to the stratosphere and block out the sun and chill the planet. The pieces of ash that are bigger like the size of a grain of rice will easily come out but the smaller pieces that are as fine as baby powder might never fall out unfortunately.

What is the best way to get to Taal Volcano from Manila?
Q. I've heard and been reading a lot about the Taal Volcano in Talisay. This sounds like a great adventure to do! I want to go on the Taal Volcano tour really early in the morning (7am) and was wondering what is the best way to go about doing this? I would need to factor in commuting from Manila and I do not have a car! First question would be, how do I find transportation from Manila to Taal? Is it possible to rent a car and hire a driver for this early morning adventure? Do you have any recommendations on which car company to hire? How long of a drive is it from Manila to Talisay? Second question, should I just spend the day at Taal Volcano and drive back the same day or spend the night in Talisay? Third, I'm thinking off using Taal… [cont.]

Is it possible for a volcano to erupt without harming a nearby town?
Q. I'm writing a novel and there's a volcano in it. I'm trying to figure out how the volcano can erupt while the town remains intact. A dusting of ashes and a couple of burned buildings are acceptable, but I don't want to completely decimate the town and I want most of the locals to survive.
Asked by Karen - Fri Feb 1 11:30:12 2008 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Depends on what you mean by "nearby." But to answer your question, absolutely. Just depends on the size of the eruption, type of eruption, where the town is situated, and prevailing winds at the time. You could easily and realistically have a town a mile away with a really spectacular view in more or less complete safety with just the dusting of ash you describe. (No one in their right mind would continue living there after the volcano erupted, since small eruptions can precede big eruptions, but I presume that's not the issue.) And if you need a bigger eruption, yes, a town could be 5-10 miles from a fairly big eruption as long as the wind was the right way and no mudflows/ashflows were channelled toward the town.

A. Lands near volcanos are extremely fertile for agriculture; thus people live there. Also, it is not always easy to relocate. Moreover, eruptions are rare, and the benefits (fertile land) out weight the costs (eruptions).

A. A volcano is a point of weakness on our earth's surface which allows molten material from inside the earth to reach the surface. There are two basic requirements for a volcano to form: 1. some type of fracture or intersecting fractures are required to allow magma to reach the surface - much like a pipe. 2. magma must be relatively close to the surface The magma is forced to the surface by pressure from within the Earth. The lava and ash erupt because an unobstructed passage is opened up into the magma source (chamber). Gases within the magma can make it explode, forming clouds of ash, and occasionally making the volcano explode. As the ash and lava build up about the open vent they form the cone-shaped landform which we know as a… [cont.]

Asked by becie - Fri Aug 14 11:17:06 2009 - - 6 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Plus the Cumbre Vieja on the little island La Palma (Canarian Islands). The active volcano is surrounded by porous volcanic rocks that are drenched with water. In case of another eruption - doesn't have to be dramatic - magma rises, heats up the water, the water will expand and destroy the rock from the inside. Parts of the island could simply slide into the Atlantic Ocean and most likely cause a tsunami (~150 m) that will hit the US East coast. However, this is just a theory and it is very controversial amongst geologists. Indeed, most of them doubt it. And it is def. not a super volcano. However, the effects could be dramatic if the British scientists (their idea) are right.

Instructions STEP 1: Use a sheet of plywood at least 8 inches wider and longer than your planned volcano to make the base, to prevent the lava from staining surfaces during eruptions. STEP 2: Use salt dough, plaster or papier-mache to form a mountain around an empty 2-liter bottle placed upright at the center of the plywood base. Be sure to leave the lid off. STEP 3: Form the model volcano's open top tightly around the mouth of the bottle.

Ash and dust The explosive power of a volcanic eruption causes old lava to be blasted into tiny pieces and hurled into the air, sometimes several kilometers high, with ash and dust. The size of this material ranges from fine ash and dust particles, to pebble-sized rock fragments and volcanic bombs of molten lava, measuring 25cm or more across, that solidify as they fly through the air. These airborne fragments are known as tephra. Often, tephra is spread over a wide area. Heavy tephra falls can damage buildings, causing roofs to collapse.
