2. Lava Flows is the lava that slide down the side of the volcano. The dangers of hot lava meeting the surface are streams that resulted from the boiling of the salt water and the instantaneously change to a crystal. The water temperature where lava meets water is 30 -69. Volcanic Gases 1.
Andesite is typically light gray to dark gray in color, sometimes almost black. Less abundant than the Andesite is a rock that occurs in two forms. Dacite is a hard, dense, glassy, gray rock. Its glassy appearance distinguishes it from Andesite. The other siliceous rock is Pumice, a light weight, porous rock formed from liquid rock with a great quantity of finely dispersed gas bubbles.
For constructive plate margins, the magma rises up into the gap that created by the plate move apart to form a volcano. After that for earthquakes, after that for the earthquakes, it occur at all three types of plate margins. They are caused by tension that build up at the plate margins, for destructive plate margins, the tension build up when one plate get stuck as it’s moving down past the other into the mantle. Then for constructive margins, the tension builds along cracks within the plates as they move away from each other. At last for conservations margins, the tension build up when plate are grinding past each other get stuck.
The Island of Aruba is the result of lava hardening from a volcano that occurred almost 100 million years ago underwater. Eventually sediments formed new types of rocks, which came to the surface and began the process of island building. On the Island today the north coast is made up of a jagged coastline filled with all sorts of rocks. “Limestone’s are the youngest rocks that make up Aruba and that surround the islands older rocks. Limestone formed after and on top of the older rocks.” (Archaeological Museum Aruba, 3) While limestone is very common rock on Aruba, a white and black speckled plutonic rock called quartzdiorite is also another prevalent part of the landscape.
The magma that reached the sea bed due to weakness in the crust cooled quickly and formed a layer of basalt above the sediments (see diagram 1). Other magma intrusions
An inward tilt during eruption is much steeper than that of re-inflation. 6. What are "vesicles"? (page 99, para 1) Tiny bubbles that have gas trapped in them after the solidifying of the magma after eruption. 7.

The plutonic rocks were formed by magma and are form deep within the Earth. When a volcano erupts, some lava reaches the Earth surface and the lava starts to cool or solidify, but there are a few volcanic igneous rocks in Yosemite. The volcanic rocks in Yosemite Park include basalt and latté lava flows and outside has the same, but some called ash-flow and more (Yosemite National
They grow by piling up lava and ash into cones with steep-sided slopes, which are prone to collapse as massive landslides known as debris avalanches. The 1980 debris avalanche at Mount St. Helens literally opened a new chapter in the study of volcanic hazards. Debris avalanches were an under-appreciated hazard prior to 1980. More than 200 prehistoric debris avalanche deposits around the world were recognized because of observations of processes and resulting geologic features at Mount St. Helens. For example, the origin of puzzling, hilly volcanic deposits near Mount Shasta and Mount Rainier became clear.
This movement changed the layer composition and even the direction of the layers that form Ayers Rock. ("Geology," 2008) Information about this movement is more difficult to locate than the Petermann Orogeny, but the impact is clear. The Alice Springs Orogeny was an intraplate contraction which changed the face of central Australia. It occurred approximately 300 million years ago. ("Geology," 2008) It resulted in the folding of the area and shortened the north/south length of the area by about 8.7 miles.
