PHYSCI Flashcards
is a mass of magma that flows down the slope of the volcano at a rate of 3 kilometers per day (slightly high viscosity) or 45 kilometers per hour (low viscosity)
Lava flow
Is currently erupting or is showing signs of volcanic eruption. It should have also erupted within the last 600 years
Active Volcano
Is one which has erupted and then entered a long period of inactivity.
Potentially Active Volcano
are rocks that are released into the air by an erupting volcano
Ballistic projectiles.
is the place where the two plates converge and the volcano is formed (DOST-PHIVOLCS, n.d.)
subduction zone
refers to hot dry masses of fragmented volcanic materials that move along the slope and in contact with ground surface at a speed greater than 60 kilometers per hour.
Pyroclastic flow
Is one that has not shown any sign of activity for a long period. It has no record of volcanic eruption in the past thousand years
INACTIVE VOLCANO
is flowing mixture of volcanic debris and water.
Lahar
takes place when two plate converge.
Subduction
Is one that has not shown any sign of activity for a long period
Inactive Volcano
are turbulent low-concentration density currents of gases, rock debris and in some cases, water, that move above the ground surface at high velocities
Pyroclastic surges
is one of the basic component of magma or lava.
Volcanic gas
are showers of fine coarse-grained volcanic materials and other airborne products of a volcanic eruption.
