Q

Excessively explosive type of eruption of gas and pyroclastics

A

Plinian

17
Q

Volcano that has had at least one record of eruption during the past 10,000 years

A

Active volcano

18
Q

An active volcano that is not erupting but supposed to erupt again

A

Dormant volcano

19
Q

They are also called extinct or sleeping volcanoes could erupt but has not erupt for more than 10,000 years

A

Inactive volcano

20
Q

Can push through holes or cracks in the crust causing volcanic eruption

A

Magma

21
Q

When blank is ejected out of the volcano it is called blank when it cools and solidified it is called blank rocks

A

Magma. lava and igneous

22
Q

Fixed places within the mantle are oceanic lithosphere where rocks melt to generate magma

A

Hotspots

23
Q

What is the process of volcanic eruption

A

Magma inside the volcano has a high temperature as the magma continues heated it goes off the gas bubbles are trapped and expand causing the molten materials to swell also resulting in a gradual increase in pressure within the volcano

24
Q

Geothermal energy is generated in two ways

A

Geothermal power plant, geothermal heat pumps

25
Q

It promotes the heat from the fluid in the earth’s connection, concentrates it, and then transfer it to the building

A

Geothermal heat pumps

26
Q

It is where heat from within the earth changes water into steam (water in the gas phase) which turns steam turbines the generate electricity

A

Geothermal power plants

27
Q

What are the steps to generate in the geothermal power plant

A

First hot water second steam third turbine and generator 4 cooling tower 5 injection well
