I-CHANGES DUE TO VOLCANIC ERUPTION

Volcano-is an opening in the earth crust

Molten rocks, ashes and gaseous are
force out through its opening.
The opening of the volcano is called
the crater
II-Volcano vary in size,some are
shaped like a cone,while others are
like a dome
  How does volcanic eruption
occur?
-When tectonic plates collide massive
rocks underground deform and trigger a
build up of temperature and pressure.
III-the high temperature and pressure
results in melting rocks,producing
MAGMA
Inside the volcano is a Magma
chamber
Molten rocks inside this chamber is
forcefully driven out by intense heat
and pressure
IV-The released of Magma from the
crater is called VOLCANIC ERUPTION
The magma that flows outon the
surface is called LAVA
 When volcano erupts it throws out
lava together with gases,rocks and
ashes
 A volcanic eruption can be
Explosive o Non Explosive
V- An eruption is explosive when large
amount of Pyroclastic materials are
ejected by the volcano into the air.
Pyroclastic materials-consist of
Lava,ashes,volcanic glass, and rocks-It
occurs when gases in the magma are
trapped,causing a build up pressure in
the magama chamber.
VI-As a result the gases expand very
quickly and explode violently
An eruption can last by several hours or
days.
 None Explosive eruption
Lava just flows out of the crater
and gaps along the sides of the
volcano
V-The kind of eruption happen
when there is less pressure in the
magma chamber
 Effects of Volcanic Eruption
Can cause damage to
plants,animals people and
property
Aside from destruction materials
released by a volcano VI-can have
beneficial effects in nature
The pyroclastic materials from a
volcanic eruption can make the
soil fertile
The heat inside the volcano can
cause gases to come out through
holes or vent called
fumaroles-which can
VI-provide geothermal
steam to generates
electricity
Eruption can also
produced pumice and
sulfur
