Volcanoes and Igneous Features

Volcanic eruptions  Factors that determine the violence of an eruption Composition of the magma Temperature of the magma Gases in the magma  Viscosity of magma Measure of material’s resistance to flow

Viscosity of magma Factors affecting viscosity –Dissolved gases (volatiles) Provide the force to extrude lava –Viscous magma produces a more violent eruption

Lava Types Types of lava –Pahoehoe lava (resembles braids in ropes) –Aa lava (rough, jagged blocks)

A pahoehoe lava flow A pahoehoe lava flow Figure 9.7 B

A typical aa flow A typical aa flow Figure 9.7 A

Pyroclastic materials (Fire fragments) Ash and dust Pumice – from “frothy” lava Cinders (scoria) Bombs – larger ejected as hot lava

Volcanic bombs on Kilauea volcano in Hawaii Volcanic bombs on Kilauea volcano in Hawaii Figure 9.9

Volcanoes  Conduit, or pipe, carries gas-rich magma to the surface –Vent, the surface opening (connected to the magma chamber via a pipe) Crater –Steep-walled depression at the summit –Caldera (a summit depression greater than 1 km diameter)

Shield volcano Broad, slightly domed Primarily made of basaltic (fluid) lava Generally large size –e.g., Mauna Loa in Hawaii

Shield volcano Figure 9.12

Cinder cone Built from ejected lava fragments Steep slope angle Rather small size

A cinder cone near Flagstaff, Arizona Figure 9.15

Composite cone (or stratovolcano)Composite cone (or stratovolcano) Most are adjacent to the Pacific Ocean (e.g., Mt. Rainier) Large size Interbedded lavas and pyroclastics Most violent type of activity

Composite volcano Composite volcano Figure 9.10

A size comparison of the three types of volcanoes A size comparison of the three types of volcanoes Figure 9.13

Other volcanic landforms  Calderas Steep-walled depression at the summit Formed by collapse Nearly circular Size exceeds 1 kilometer in diameter  Fissure eruptions and lava plateaus Fluid basaltic lava extruded from crustal fractures called fissures e.g., Columbia Plateau

Crater Lake, Oregon, is a good example of a caldera Figure 9.21

The Columbia River basalts Figure 9.22

Volcanic Necks Volcanic necks (e.g., Ship Rock, New Mexico) are resistant pipes/vents left standing after erosion has removed the volcanic cone
