Factors Affecting Eruptions
Trapped Gases
• Carbon dioxide and water vapor get trapped in magma and escape when pressure decreases
• Gases that build up a lot of pressure cause explosive eruptions
![Page 4: Earth Science Notes Volcanic Eruptions. Our Objectives Today are… I can … Explain the Factors that affect Volcanic Eruptions Describe the Features of.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052701/56649efa5503460f94c0b8f5/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Factors Affecting Eruptions• Gases build up
more pressure in thicker (more viscous) magma.
• What type of magma would cause the greatest explosion.
Recall: Unit 3 Viscosity means RESISTANCE TO FLOW

Factors Affecting EruptionsSilica Content • Silica is a compound composed of silicon and oxygen
• Magma that is silica-rich (i.e. Granitic) produces explosive eruptions – Has a high viscosity (THICK) – TRAPS more gasses – RECALL: silica-rich magma formed granitic (felsic) rocks

Factors Affecting Eruptions
Silica Content • Silica is a compound composed of silicon and oxygen
• Magma that is silica-poor (i.e. Basaltic) produces quiet explosions– Has a LOW viscosity (Thin) – Forms nonexplosive eruptions – RECALL: silica-poor magma formed basaltic (mafic) rocks

Volcanic Eruption Types• Volcanic
eruptions are characterized by expolosivity and height of plume.
Please Note: as with classification scheme, there are several forms and eruptions may be difficult to distinguish at times

Volcanic Eruption Types
Four Main categories of volcanic eruptions(see EN: Kinds of Eruptions)
• Hawaiian – weakest
• Strombolian – weak
• Vulcanian – kind of explosive
• Pelean – massive explosions

Features Of Volcanic ActivityLimnic Eruptions: Lake Nyos
![Page 20: Earth Science Notes Volcanic Eruptions. Our Objectives Today are… I can … Explain the Factors that affect Volcanic Eruptions Describe the Features of.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052701/56649efa5503460f94c0b8f5/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Features Of Volcanic ActivityLimnic Eruptions: Lake Nyos
• Lake Nyos is a deep lake high on the flank of an inactive volcano in Cameroon.
• A pocket of magma lies beneath the lake, charging the water with an estimated 90 million tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2).
• In 1986, a limnic eruption at Lake Nyos triggered the sudden release of about 1.6 million tonnes of CO2 that rushed down nearby valleys, displacing all the air and suffocating approximately 1,700 people within 20 km of the lake.

Features Of Volcanic ActivityLimnic Eruptions: Lake Nyos
Elements for a Limnic Eruption
• Very deep volcanic lake.
• Lake has to be over a slow source of volcanic gas.
• Lake has to be very, very still.

Volcanoes Destructiveness
This Diagram shows range of potential destruction
A super-eruption has the potential to cover the United States in 3 feet of ash from a plume. Pyroclastic flow would engulf the greater part of three states, and there is evidence that the last major 'super' eruption plunged the world into a freezing, volcanic winter that lasted a decade. An eruption would devastate world agriculture, severely effect the distribution of food and cause mass famine.
