Study Notes
Volcanoes
- Volcanoes are openings in the Earth's crust
- Molten rock, hot gases, and other materials erupt from these openings
- Often form hills or mountains as layers of rock and ash build up from repeated eruptions
- Volcanoes are produced by the accumulation of their own eruptive products.
Volcanism
- Volcanism is the eruption of molten rock from inside the Earth to the surface
- Volcanoes are formed via volcanism
Anatomy of a Volcano
- Magma Chamber: A reservoir where magma is stored beneath the volcano
- Vent: A pipe-like structure that connects the magma chamber to the surface
- Cone: Steep, conical-shaped hill or mountain formed by layers of volcanic material
- Crater: The bowl-shaped depression at the top of the volcano
- Lava Flow: Molten rock that flows from a volcano during an eruption
- Ash Cloud: Mass of tiny volcanic rock fragments, dust, and gases that are released into the air
- Sill: Flat rock formation that forms when molten magma cools and solidifies in cracks or fissures
Factors Affecting Volcanic Eruption
- Silica Content: Higher silica content leads to more viscous magma and more explosive eruptions
- Water Content: Higher water content causes more gas expansion, making eruptions more explosive.
Types of Volcanoes (Based on Eruption Frequency)
- Active Volcanoes: Erupted within the last 600 years
- Potentially Active Volcanoes: Morphologically young-looking volcanoes with no historical eruption records.
- Inactive Volcanoes: No recorded eruptions in historical times. Their physical form has been significantly weathered and eroded.
Types of Volcanoes (Based on Volcanic Features)
- Shield Volcano: Built almost entirely from lava flows, forming a broad, dome-like shape
- Composite Volcano: Typically steep-sided and formed by numerous layers of lava flows and volcanic ash, creating symmetrical cones.
- Cinder Cone Volcano: Simplest volcanoes formed from ejected, semisolid lava and fragments from a single vent that solidify around the vent, making a circular or oval cone shape.
Products of Volcanic Eruption
- Lava: Molten rock that flows on the surface after exiting a volcanic vent
- Pyroclastic Flow: Mixture of volcanic gases and ash, often generated during eruptions.
- Ashfall: Finer ejected materials carried away by the wind
- Lahars: Hot or cold mixtures of water and rock fragments that flow down volcanic slopes, often entering river valleys.
Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS)
- A DOST service tasked with mitigating disasters from volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, tsunamis, and related geotectonic phenomena.
- Volcanologists study the formation and eruptive activity of volcanoes.
Volcanoes and Sustainable Development Goal
- Volcanoes contribute to the formation of various features such as fertile soil, rocks for construction, and can be leveraged for tourism
- These features play an integral part of sustainable development
