1 Volcanic processes

2 Yes No YesNo Yes No « grey » volcanoes More explosive Andesitic Subductions « red » volcanoes Less explosive Basaltic Intra-plate Volcanic processes and types

3 Dynamic types related to magma/water interactions Dynamic types related to dissolved bubbles Dynamic types related to domes growth and collapse Dynamic types related to lava flows etc. Destruction of volcanic edifices Complex edifices

4 Magma viscosity Figure 4-1. a. Calculated viscosities of anhydrous silicate liquids at one atmosphere pressure, calculated by the method of Bottinga and Weill (1972) by Hess (1989), Origin of Igneous Rocks. Harvard University Press. b. Variation in the viscosity of basalt as it crystallizes (after Murase and McBirney, 1973), Geol. Soc. Amer. Bull., 84, 3563-3592. c. Variation in the viscosity of rhyolite at 1000 o C with increasing H 2 O content (after Shaw, 1965, Amer. J. Sci., 263, 120-153).
