Classification of volcanoes according to PHIVOLCS

Active and Inactive

erupted within historical times

Active volcanoes

accounts of these eruptions were documented by man

Active volcanoes

erupted within the last 10,000 years based on analyses of datable materials

Active volcanoes

no record of eruptions

Inactive volcanoes

Physical form is being changed by agents of weathering and erosion via formation of deep and long gullies.

Inactive volcanoes

Other classification of volcanoes according to experts

active, dormant, extinct

erupted occasionally

Active

rest for several years after eruption

Dormant

no signs of eruption for a long time

Extinct

The nature of volcanic eruptions could be observed based on three important factors

viscosity, dissolved gases, ease of escape

A magma’s viscosity is directly related to its

Silica content

___________ magma results in the build-up of gases and a great pressure increase that may cause an explosive eruption

Viscous

Dissolved gases in magma are mostly

Water vapor and carbon dioxide

_________________ in magma provide the force that extrudes molten rock from the vent

Dissolved gases

Very fluid ________ magmas allow the expanding gases to bubble upward and escape the vent with relative ease

Basaltic

Help shaped the structure of volcanoes

-amount of materials extruded


-kinds of materials extruded

Types of volcanoes based on eruptions

-Quiet


-Explosive


-Intermediate


-Fissure

Fluid lava spreads out quickly to form a broad cone with gentle slopes and called as oozing or non-explosive but sends fountains of lava hundreds of feet into the air in spectacular scarlet tongues. When it overflows, it can destroy and bury everything in its path.

Quiet

Explode with unbelievable violence and the eruption is often preceded by loud rumblings and earthquake. These open up ground, forming great fissures, draining lakes and developing hot springs.

Explosive

Eruption is sometimes quiet, sometimes explosive or a combination of both.

Intermediate

The largest amount of volcanic materials are extruded from cracks in the crust and rather than build a cone, these long narrow cracks distribute volcanic materials over a wide area.

Fissure

Composition of Dissolved Gases in magma

-70% water vapor


-15% CO2


-5% Nitrogen gas


-5% sulphur with lesser amounts of Cl, H, and Ar

Lava with low Silica content and very fluid

Basaltic Lava

hot runny, silky, and rope-like lava

Pahoehoe

cooler sharp jagged

Aa

Types of Lava Flow

-Silicic Lava


-Basaltic Lava


-Pahoehoe


-Aa

Ejected lava fragments

Pyroclastic materials

Types of Pyroclastic materials

-Lapili


-Cinders


-Blocks


-Bombs

Size of walnuts

Lapili

Size of pea

Cinders

hardened Lava

Blocks

Incandescent lava

Bombs

Volcanic landforms

-Calderas


-Fissure eruptions


-Volcanic necks

A volcanic crater that exceeds one kilometer in diameter, roughly circular and mostly formed when the summit of a volcano collapses into a partially emptied magma chamber below

Calderas

These are formed when great volumes of volcanic materials like very fluid basaltic lava are extruded from fractures in the crust

Fissure eruptions

An isolated, steep-sided, erosional remnant consisting of lava that once occupied the vent of a volcano.

Volcanic necks

The magma that does not reach the surface cools down and hardens beneath the volcano and form different __________ rocks

Igneous

Most magma is emplaced at depth and the structure that results from emplacement and crystallization of magma beneath the Earth’s surface is called

Pluton (plutonic igneous rocks)

Pluton according to shape

tabular or massive

Pluton according to orientation with respect to the host rock

discordant or concordant

Pluton that cuts across existing structures

Discordant

Pluton that forms parallel to the sedimentary

Concordant

tabular, discordant bodies that are produced when magma is injected into fractures

Dikes

tabular plutons formed when magma is injected along sedimentary bedding surfaces

Sills

product of very fluid magmas

Sills

most are composed of the rock basalt

Sills

form in near-surface environments and often cools quickly generating an aphanitic texture

Sills

similar to sills when formed but the magma is more viscous and collect as lens-shaped mass that arches the overlying strata upward

Laccoliths

largest igneous bodies that occur in groups that form linear structures several hundred of kilometers long and up to 100 kilometers wide

Batholiths

consist of rock types having chemical compositions toward the granitic end

Batholiths

smaller plutons or batholiths

Stocks

make up the core of mountain systems

Batholiths

gases are used to generate electric power. This is mixed with varying amounts of carbon dioxide, ammonia, methane and helium.

Fumarole gases

used in the manufacture of sulphuric acid.

Sulphur dioxide

used in making fertilizer.

Ammonia

used as a fuel gas

Methane

In __________, ammonium carbonate, sodium carbonate and boric acid are extracted from the steam and water vapor in volcanic areas.

Italy

Lahar from __________ is a source of feldspar for glassmaking, pottery or porcelain production. It can also be converted to crystallized glass ceramics as a substitute for marble for floor and wall tiles.

Mt. Pinatubo

Volcanoes that have lost its explosiveness can be tapped to provide
