    Ash Emitted by Thevolcanoes. It's The Rock or The Ash That Gets Warm Up and Form To Be A Strong

    Uploaded by

    Kyle Hilary Matunding
    This document defines and describes the key parts of a volcano, including the magma chamber, bedrock, conduit, base, sill, dike, layers of ash and lava emitted, flank, throat, parasitic cone, lava flow, vent, and crater. It explains that a magma chamber is a pool of liquid rock beneath the surface, and a conduit is the vent where material rises from below. Layers of ash and lava are deposited during eruptions.

    ◦ Parts of a volcano:

    1. Large magma chamber


    2. Bedrock
    3. Conduit (pipe)
    4. Base
    5. Sill
    6. Dike
    7. Layers of ash emitted by the volcano
    8. Flank
    9. Layers of lava emitted by the volcano
    10. Throat
    11. Parasitic cone
    12. Lava flow
    13. Vent
    14. Crater
    15. Ash cloud

    ◦ Magma chamber- A magma chamber is a large pool of liquid rock beneath the surface of the
    Earth.
    ◦ Bedrock- solid rock underlying loose deposits such as soil or alluvium.
    ◦ Conduit- A volcano conduit is the pipe or vent at the heart of a volcanowhere material wells up
    from beneath the surface. The surface of the Earth is relatively cool, but things get hotter as you
    descend beneath the ground.
    ◦ Base- the crust or the place where the volcano lies.
    ◦ Sill- is a tabular sheet intrusion that has intruded between older layers of sedimentary rock,
    beds of volcanic lava or tuff, or along the direction of foliation in metamorphic rock. A sill is
    a concordant intrusive sheet, meaning that a sill does not cut across preexisting rock beds.
    ◦ Dike- is a discordant intrusive sheet, which does cut across older rocks. Sills are fed by dikes,
    except in unusual locations where they form in nearly vertical beds attached directly to a
    magma source.
    ◦ Layers of ash emitted by the volcano-The the structure of the volcanoes was called the layer of
    ash emitted by thevolcanoes. It's the rock or the ash that gets warm up and form to be a strong
    rock that cover inside part of a volcano and keep the magma inside the volcanoes itself.
    ◦ Flank- The side of avolcano.
    ◦ Layers of Lava emitted by the volcano- The magma pushes its way through small cracks in the
    crust and finally reaches the surface. This causes a dike to be produced. ... When the magma
    reaches the surface of the Earth it is then called lava. The lava leaving the side vent causes
    the volcano to add a layer of lava and usually a layer of ash with each eruption.
    ◦ Throat- is the part of the volcano where lava comes out from.
    ◦ Parasitic cone- A parasitic cone (also adventive cone or satellitecone) is the cone-shaped
    accumulation of volcanicmaterial not part of the central vent of a volcano. It forms from
    eruptions from fractures on the flank of thevolcano. These fractures occur because the flank of
    thevolcano is unstable.
    ◦ Lava Flow- a mass of flowing or solidified lava.
    ◦ Vent- Vents, of course, are the locations from which lava flows and pyroclastic material are
    erupted.
    ◦ Crater- is an approximately circular depression in the ground caused by volcanic activity.
    ◦ Ash Clouds- is formed during explosive volcanic eruptions when dissolved gases in magma
    expand and escape violently into the atmosphere.
