of vents (). Topic #5: Shield Volcanoes 1. Made up of a significant amount of basalt, which is a type of lava that turns to a liquid when it erupts. 2. Increased supply of magma results in shield volcanoes. 3. Examples of Shield volcanoes are Kilauea and Mauna Loa, located in Hawaii. Topic #6: Lava…

a similarity between the two islands are that they both have volcanic mountains. Some of the mountains on the island of Oahu are Tantalus, Diamond Head, and Ko’olau Range.

Finally, I will predict how pressure from gases in the magma and magma chamber can cause a volcanic eruption,and give some more details about my volcano. It depends on the volcano to erupt oftenly. Some volcanoes erupt very often (and some like Kilauea almost never stop). On the other hand, some volcanoes are inactive for very long periods of time between eruptions.There are several factors triggering a volcanic eruption, three predominate: the buoyancy of the magma, the pressure from the…

going to tell you about three different times volcanoes have affected civilizations and you will be surprised at some of the damage done.
