  • How volcano erupts?
    when enough magma builds up in the magma reservoir it forces its way up and burst
  • any signal that could be associated with an impending eruption in a prospective forecasting framework
    Volcanic precursor
  • Volcanic precursor increase in:
    intensity felt of the earth
    frequency
  • Give the volcanic precursor
    • seismic activity
    • smoke
    • increase of temperature in the crater lake
    • tilting of the slope
    • volcanic tremor
  • continuous seismic signal
    volcanic tremor
  • frequency of severity of earthquakes in region
    seismic activity
  • Volcanic hazards?
    Lava flows, pyroclastic flows, ashfall, volcanic gases, lahars, volcanic landslides.
  • ooze up lava from an erupting vent
    Lava flow
    • 800-1500
    • rock fragments + ash + gas [10 meters per second ] away from a volcanic vent/collapsed crater
    pyroclastic flow
  • hazard that is heat by this high temperature
    pyroclastic flow
  • hot or cold water fragments that flows through the slope of the volcano and enters a river alley
    Lahars
  • glacial outburst of flood
    jökulhlaups
  • rocks, soil, debris falls down due to gravity
    landslide/ debris avalanche
  • resistance of flow on how sticky it is
    Viscosity
  • viscous magma + trapped gasses =
    violent eruption
  • types of magma
    basaltic
    rhyolitic
    andesitic
  • basaltic
    temperature : low
    silica & gas: low
    eruption: fairly effusive
  • andesitic
    temperature: intermediate
    silica and gas content: intermediate
    eruption: moderate exflosive
  • rhyolitic
    temp: high
    silica and gas: high
    eruption: extremely explosive
  • factors affecting viscosity:
    temperature
    silica content
  • lahar mixture of what?
    water and volcanic materials
  • that can happen by this fire
    lava
  • destroy respiratory system by air pollution
    Volcanic gasses
  • asthma
    ash fall
  • air pollution
    toxic gasses
  • explodes w/o a warning
    secondary explosion
  • consume more damage
    lateral blast
  • kills people
    tsunami
  • release of gas or water vapor that previously dissolved, trapped or frozen by liquid
    Outgassing
  • Outgassing gases:
    Water vapor
    carbon dioxide
    nitrogen
    sulfur
    clorine,argon,hydrogen
  • Most outgassing gas:
    Water vapor with 75%
  • least outgassing gas
    Sulfur,chlorine,argon,nitrogen,hydrogen with 5% only
  • Types of lava
    Pahoehoe, pillow, blocky, Aa
  • smooth and has ropy masses
    pahoehoe
  • rough composed by broken lava rocks (clinkers)
    AA
  • composed by broken lava rock aka as
    clinkers
  • Large angular blocks of lava
    blocky
  • pilling up individual lava lobes
    Pillow
  • Lava rocks
    basaltic = shield
    andesitic = cone
    rhyolitic = caldera
  • energy heat in the interior of the earth, if close to a volcano there is higher geothermal system
    geothermal energy
