Factors Affecting Eruptions
10.1 The Nature of Volcanic Eruptions
Factors that determine the violence of an
eruption
• Composition of the magma
• Temperature of the magma
• Dissolved gases in the magma
Viscosity
• Viscosity is the measure of a material's
resistance to flow.

Factors Affecting Eruptions
10.1 The Nature of Volcanic Eruptions
Viscosity
• Factors affecting viscosity
- Temperature (hotter magmas are less viscous)
- Composition (silica content)
1. High silica—high viscosity
(e.g., rhyolitic lava)
2. Low silica—more fluid (e.g., basaltic lava)

Factors Affecting Eruptions
10.1 The Nature of Volcanic Eruptions
Dissolved gases
• Mainly water vapor and carbon dioxide
• Gases expand near the surface
• A vent is an opening in the surface of Earth
through which molten rock and gases are
released.
• Provide the force to extrude lava

Factors Affecting Eruptions
10.1 The Nature of Volcanic Eruptions
Dissolved gases • Violence of an eruption is related to how easily
gases escape from magma
- Gases escape easily from fluid magma.
- Viscous magma produces a more violent
eruption.

Volcanic Material
10.1 The Nature of Volcanic Eruptions
Lava Flows• Basaltic lavas are more fluid.
- Pahoehoe lava (resembles braids in ropes)
- Aa lava (rough, jagged blocks)
• Types of lava
Gases• One to 5 percent of magma by weight
• Mainly water vapor and carbon dioxide

Volcanic Material
10.1 The Nature of Volcanic Eruptions
Pyroclastic Materials
• Pyroclastic materials is the name given to
particles produced in volcanic eruptions.
• The fragments ejected during eruptions range in
size from very fine duct and volcanic ash (less
than 2 millimeters) to pieces that weigh several
tons.
![Page 12: Prentice Hall EARTH SCIENCE - Auburn High Schoolahs.mcps.org/UserFiles/Servers/Server_94864/File/Science/Pearson... · EARTH SCIENCE Tarbuck Lutgens .

Volcanic Material
10.1 The Nature of Volcanic Eruptions
Pyroclastic Materials• Types of pyroclastic material
- Ash and dust—fine, glassy fragments
- Pumice—frothy, air-filled lava
- Lapilli—walnut-sized particles
- Cinders—pea-sized particles
• Particles larger than lapilli
- Blocks—hardened lava
- Bombs—ejected as hot lava

Types of Volcanoes
10.1 The Nature of Volcanic Eruptions
The three main volcanic types are shield
volcanoes, cinder cones, and composite
cones.
• A volcano is a mountain formed of lava and/or
pyroclastic material.
• A conduit, or pipe, carries gas-rich magma to the
surface.
Anatomy of a Volcano
• A crater is the depression at the summit of a
volcano or that which is produced by a meteorite
impact.

Types of Volcanoes
10.1 The Nature of Volcanic Eruptions
Shield Volcanoes
• Shield volcanoes are broad, gently sloping
volcanoes built from fluid basaltic lavas.
• Cinder cones are small volcanoes built primarily
of pyroclastic material ejected from a single vent.
- Steep slope angle
- Rather small in size
- Frequently occur in groups
Cinder Cones

Types of Volcanoes
10.1 The Nature of Volcanic Eruptions
Composite Cones• Composite cones are volcanoes composed of
both lava flows and pyroclastic material.
- Most are adjacent to the Pacific Ocean
(e.g., Mt. Rainier).
- Large size
- Interbedded lavas and pyroclastics
- Most violent type of activity

Other Volcanic Landforms
10.1 The Nature of Volcanic Eruptions
• Fluid basaltic lava extruded from crustal fractures
called fissures.
Lava Plateaus
![Page 24: Prentice Hall EARTH SCIENCE - Auburn High Schoolahs.mcps.org/UserFiles/Servers/Server_94864/File/Science/Pearson... · EARTH SCIENCE Tarbuck Lutgens . Chapter 10 Volcanoes and Other](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021612/5b82f30f7f8b9a31608c32b0/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Plutons Plutons are intrusive igneous structures
that result from the cooling and hardening
of magma beneath the surface of Earth.
10.2 Intrusive Igneous Activity
• Intrusive igneous bodies, or plutons, are
generally classified according to their shape,
size, and relationship to the surrounding rock
layers.
![Page 25: Prentice Hall EARTH SCIENCE - Auburn High Schoolahs.mcps.org/UserFiles/Servers/Server_94864/File/Science/Pearson... · EARTH SCIENCE Tarbuck Lutgens . Chapter 10 Volcanoes and Other](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021612/5b82f30f7f8b9a31608c32b0/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Plutons Sills and Laccoliths
10.2 Intrusive Igneous Activity
• Sills and laccoliths are plutons that form when
magma is intruded close to the surface.
- Sills resemble buried lava flows and may exhibit columnar joints.
- Laccoliths are lens-shaped masses that arch
overlying strata upward.

Plutons Dikes
10.2 Intrusive Igneous Activity
• Many dikes form when magma from a large
magma chamber invades fractures in the
surrounding rocks.
• Dikes are tabular-shaped intrusive igneous
features that cut across preexisting rock layers.
![Page 28: Prentice Hall EARTH SCIENCE - Auburn High Schoolahs.mcps.org/UserFiles/Servers/Server_94864/File/Science/Pearson... · EARTH SCIENCE Tarbuck Lutgens . Chapter 10 Volcanoes and Other](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021612/5b82f30f7f8b9a31608c32b0/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Plutons Batholiths
10.2 Intrusive Igneous Activity
• Batholiths are large masses of igneous rock
that formed when magma intruded at depth,
became crystallized, and subsequently was
exposed by erosion.
• An intrusive igneous body must have a surface
exposure greater than 100 square kilometers to
be considered a batholith.

Origin of Magma Geologists conclude that magma originates
when essentially solid rock, located in the
crust and upper mantle, partially melts.
10.2 Intrusive Igneous Activity
The most obvious way to generate magma
from solid rock is to raise the temperature
above the level at which the rock begins to
melt.
![Page 32: Prentice Hall EARTH SCIENCE - Auburn High Schoolahs.mcps.org/UserFiles/Servers/Server_94864/File/Science/Pearson... · EARTH SCIENCE Tarbuck Lutgens . Chapter 10 Volcanoes and Other](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021612/5b82f30f7f8b9a31608c32b0/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Origin of Magma Role of Heat
10.2 Intrusive Igneous Activity
• Additional heat is generated by
• The geothermal gradient—Earth’s natural temperature increases with depth but is not sufficient to melt rock in the lower crust and upper mantle
- friction in subduction zones
- crustal rocks heated during subduction
- rising, hot mantle rocks
![Page 33: Prentice Hall EARTH SCIENCE - Auburn High Schoolahs.mcps.org/UserFiles/Servers/Server_94864/File/Science/Pearson... · EARTH SCIENCE Tarbuck Lutgens .

Origin of Magma Role of Water
10.2 Intrusive Igneous Activity
• Causes rock to melt at a lower temperature
• Plays an important role in subducting
ocean plates

Basaltic Magma at the Surface
![Page 35: Prentice Hall EARTH SCIENCE - Auburn High Schoolahs.mcps.org/UserFiles/Servers/Server_94864/File/Science/Pearson... · EARTH SCIENCE Tarbuck Lutgens . Chapter 10 Volcanoes and Other](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021612/5b82f30f7f8b9a31608c32b0/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Convergent Plate Boundaries The basic connection between plate
tectonics and volcanism is that plate
motions provide the mechanisms by which
mantle rocks melt to generate magma.
10.3 Plate Tectonics and Igneous Activity
• Rising magma can form continental volcanic arcs
(Andes Mountains).
Ocean-Ocean
Ocean-Continent
• Rising magma can form volcanic island arcs in
an ocean (Aleutian Islands).

Divergent Plate Boundaries
The greatest volume of volcanic rock is
produced along the oceanic ridge system.
10.3 Plate Tectonics and Igneous Activity
• Less pressure on underlying rocks
• Lithosphere pulls apart.
• Large quantities of fluid basaltic magma are produced.
• Partial melting occurs
![Page 38: Prentice Hall EARTH SCIENCE - Auburn High Schoolahs.mcps.org/UserFiles/Servers/Server_94864/File/Science/Pearson... · EARTH SCIENCE Tarbuck Lutgens . Chapter 10 Volcanoes and Other](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021612/5b82f30f7f8b9a31608c32b0/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Intraplate Igneous Activity
Intraplate volcanism is igneous activity
that occurs within a tectonic plate away
from plate boundaries.
10.3 Plate Tectonics and Igneous Activity
• The activity forms localized volcanic regions called hot spots.
• Most intraplate volcanism occurs where a mass of hotter than normal mantle material called a mantle plume rises toward the surface.
• Examples include the Hawaiian Islands and the Columbia Plateau.
