DRRR_M1 Flashcards
these are fragments produced by volcanic eruption; usually divided into three
tephras
What are the 8 stated parts of volcano?
magma chamber, main vent, side vent, smoke and ash, crust, mantle, crater, lava
what are the three (3) tephras
ash, lapili, and volcanic bomb
particles that are smaller than 2 mm(0.08 inch) in diameter; one of the tephras
ash
Between 2 and 64 mm (0.08 and
2.5 inches) in diameter; an example of a___ is a scoria
lapili
give me an example of lapili
scoria
larger than 64mm; called volcanic rock when solid
volcanic bomb
what are the 10 signs that a volcanic eruption is about to happen or impending?
- increased occurrences of volcanic tremors
- increased steaming activity
- crater glow
- ground swells, ground tilt, ground fissuring
- localized landslides
- drying up of vegetation
- increase in temperature of its crater lake
- noticeable variation of the content of crater lake or springs; there is a presence of carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide spikes
- drying of springs or wells
- new or reactivated thermal areas (solfataras)
crater lake released approximately 100,000 to 300,000 tons of carbon dioxide killing 1700 people and 3500 livestock via asphyxiation
lake nyos disaster
lake nyos disaster crater lake released approximately ______to ______ tons of carbon dioxide killing _______ people and ________ livestock via ________
100,000 to 300,000; 1700;3500; asphyxiation
new or reactivated thermal areas
solfataras
what are the four parameter used to monitor a volcano?
- ground deformation
- seismic activities
- gases
- sensory observations
any surface changes in the perimeter of the volcano
ground deformation
tremors or quakes; a parameter
seismic activitya
a parameter; presence of CO2 and SO2(sulfur dioxide)
gases
the four sensory observation
olfactory, auditory, visual, tactiel
a sensory observation; steam
visual
