Volcanoes USGS Volcanoes Hazards Explosive Eruption: Mt. Saint Helens

Volcano Volcano: A vent or fissure in the Earth’s surface through which magma and gases are expelled.  2 Types Explosive and Nonexplosive.

I. Volcanic Eruptions A. Volcanic eruptions are both destructive and constructive forces.  Destructive because they can cause mountains to collapse, and scorch forests and wildlife in surrounding areas.  Constructive because they can help form fertile farmland and create large mountains.

Where Do Volcanoes Form? National Geographic: Forces of Nature Slide 3-4

II. What Makes up Magma? A. Composition of magma affects how explosive a volcanic eruption can be.  The main components of eruption are:  Dissolved Gases (Water Vapor)  Viscocity (Silica Content National Geographic: Forces of Nature Slide 5-6

B. Viscosity  The viscosity of magma, or how the lava flows, varies greatly.  Viscosity: a liquids resistance to flow.  The more silica that is present in magma, the greater the viscosity of the magma. What has a higher viscosity water or maple syrup ?

 Magma erupts as lava or pyroclastic material. A. Explosive eruptions produce mostly pyroclastic material. Eruption of Mt. Saint Helens III. Types of Eruptions

B. Nonexplosive eruptions produce lava.
