SCIENCE IX

• IS A STREAM- DRIVEN
ERUPTION AS THE HOT
ROCKS COME IN
CONTACT WITH WATER
. IT IS SHORT-LIVED ,
CHARACTERIZED BY ASH
COLUMNS BUT MAY BE
AN ONSET OF A
LARGER ERUPTION.
SHOWN ON THE RIGHT
IS OUR TAAL VOLCANO
IN BATANGAS.
• IS A VIOLENT ERUPTION DUE TO THE
CONTACT BETWEEN WATER AND
MAGMA . AS A RESULT , A LARGE
COLUMN OF VERY FINE ASH AND HIGH
SPEED AND SIDEWAY EMISSION OF
PYROCLASTICS CALLED BASE SURGES
ARE OBSERVED.
• A periodic weak to violent eruption characterized by
fountain lava, just like Irazu Volcano in Costa Rica.

• Strombolian eruptions are relatively mild blasts with a

volcanic explosivity index of about 1 to 3. They are
named for the Italian volcano
Stromboli. Strombolianeruptions consist of ejection of
incandescent cinder, lapilli, and lava bombs, to
altitudes of tens to a few hundreds of metres.
• Phreatomagmatic eruptions. ...
They are driven from thermal
contraction (as opposed to
magmatic eruptions, which are
driven by thermal expansion)
of magma when it comes in
contact with water. This
temperature difference
between the two causes violent
water-lava interactions that
make up the eruption.
• A pyroclastic deposit located
in the southern part ofthe Cráter
Principal is associated
for the first time with the 1723
eruption at Irazú volcano. ... In
fact,the transition
from strombolian to phreatoma
gmaticeruptions at the Cráter
Principal was very rapid, as
confirmed by the tephra
deposits.
• Paricutin volcano is also classified as a Cinder cone volcano.
These are the most common volcanic landforms on Earth. ...
Eruption from the volcano occurred continually from 1943 until
1952. This means scientists (called volcanologists), were able to
study the birth, activity and the death a volcano.
• CHARACTERIZED BY TALL
ERUPTION COLUMNS THAT
REACH UP TO 20 KM HIGH
WITH PYROCLASTIC FLOW
AND ASHFALL TEPHRA LIKE
THAT OF PARICUTIN
VOLCANO IN MEXICO.
• EXCESSIVELY
EXPLOSIVE TYPE OF
ERUPTION OF GAS
AND
PYROCLASTICS,
JUST LIKE OUR
PINATUBO
VOLCANO IN
ZAMBALES.
• The eruption produced high-speed avalanches of hot ash and
gas, giant mudflows, and a cloud of volcanic ash hundreds of
miles across. The impacts of the eruptioncontinue to this day. A
huge cloud of volcanic ash and gas rises above MountPinatubo,
Philippines, on June 12, 1991.
• Even after more than 5 years, hazardous effects from the June
15,1991, climactic eruption of MountPinatubo continue. ... The
June 15, 1991, explosiveeruption of Mount Pinatubo,
Philippines, was the second largest volcanic eruption of this
century and by far the largest eruption to affect a densely
populated area.
• The Crater. A crater is a part of a
volcano that ejects gases
,magma or lava.It is also
connected to the vent The Vent. The
Vent is the part of a volcano where
it lets the magma flow up tp
the crater and erupt.

• To fully understand what happens

when a volcano erupts, you need
to know the main parts of a
volcano.
• Volcanic Activity. ...
• Magma Chamber. ...
• Main Vent. ...
• Secondary Vent and Cone. ...
• Crater.
• A volcano is a hole in
Earth's surface through
which magma (called lava
when it reaches Earth's
surface), hot gases, ash,
and rock fragments
escape from deep inside
the planet. The
word volcano also is used
to describe the cone of
erupted material (lava
and ash) that builds
up around the opening.
• The molten rock creates a
main passageway called a
central vent. As the magma
rises, secondary vents
develop. Those secondary
ones are just smaller and
branch from the main tube. At
the top of the volcano, at its
highest point, is a crater.
