A

kilauea

37
Q

Short, explosive eruptions shoot thick and pasty lava,

A

strombolian eruption

38
Q

Short, explosive eruptions shoot thick and pasty lava, steam, and gas into the air, producing little to no lava

A

strombolian eruption

39
Q

Produce high dark clouds of steam, ash, and gas, which build a cauliflower-shape

A

vulcanian eruption

40
Q

most common type of volcanic cone,

A

stratovolcanoes eruption

41
Q

most common type of volcanic cone, first the volcano will have an explosive eruption that ejects huge amount of steam gas and ash followed by ejection of lava

A

stratovolcanoes eruption

42
Q

Violent explosion resulting in the collapse of the volcano’s summit and the release of destructive pyroclastic flow. This flow is rapid and destructive mixture

A

pelean eruption

43
Q

most powerful eruption type, with a towering ash cloud reaching up to 50,000 feet(about 10 miles) in height, and extremely dangerous pyroclastic flows.

A

plinian eruption

44
Q

Materials from Volcano Eruptions

A
  1. lava
  2. volcanic ash
  3. pyroclastic material
  4. volcanic gasses
45
Q

molten rocks that flows from a volcano during an eruption

A

lava

46
Q

Fragments of lava, ash, and rock ejected into the air during explosive eruption

A

pyroclastic material

46
Q

Fine particles of fragmented volcanic rock that can be carried by wind over long distance

A

volcanic ash

47
Q

gases, including water vapor, carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, and others, released during eruption

A

volcanic gasses

48
Q

mass movement of rock, debris or earthdown a slope and have come to include broad range of motions whereby falling, sliding, and flowing under the influence of gravity dislodges earth material

A

rainfall induced landslide

49
Q

Types of Landslide

A
  1. rotational landslide
  2. transnational landslide
  3. blockslide
  4. rockfall
    5.topple
  5. earth flow
  6. lateral spread
  7. debris flow
  8. debris avalanche
50
Q

Ground slides with little rotation along a flat plane parallel to the surface

A

transitional landslide

51
Q

Ground rotates and slides along a curved failure plane.

A

rotational landslide

52
Q

type of translational landslide made of mostly one block of surface materials that move downslope

A

blockslide

53
Q

Gravity send rocks and other material tumbling downslope

A

rockfall

54
Q

pieces of a cliff or rock face fall forward as large blocks

A

topple

55
Q

Form on moderate slopes when fine-grained materials liquifies and runs out in hourglass shape

A

earth flow

56
Q

when surface material extends or spreads on gentle slopes. This type of ground deformation is often associated with earthquake shaking

A

lateral spread

57
Q

Rapidly moving mix of water, mud, trees, and other material that flows downvalley and can travel great distance.

A

debris flow

58
Q

an extreme large and fast moving debris flow.
Creep- Soil and surface material that slowly moves down a slope.

A

debris avalanche

59
Q

signs of Landslide

A

Signs of landslide
-New cracks or unusual bulges in the ground
-Soil moving away from foundation
-Leaning trees
-Broken water lines and other underground utilities

60
Q

begins to form when rain starts falling on soft dissolvable rocks and mineral like limestone and salt beds

Q

Types of Sinkhole

cover collapse sinkhole
cover subsidence sinkhole

62
Q

which develop quickly in a matter of hours and cause catastrophic damage

A

cover collapse sinkhole

63
Q

which form slowly over time with the ground gradually subsiding or deflating. These type of event can go unnoticed or undetected

A

cover subsidence sinkhole

64
Q

signs of sinkhole

A

-Sinking or settling ground; if you notice areas of the ground sinking or settling. It could be a sign of sinkhole
-Cracks or fissures; Cracks in roads, building, or other structures may indicate sinkhole activity.
-Unusual water flow; Sudden, unexplained water pooling or flow, especially in areas that don’t typically flood, could signal a sinkhole
