CAUSES
Causes large amounts of pressure under the Earth’s surface.
What are collisions between the tectonic plates?
Diseases can one get if exposed to a volcanic eruption
Cough, phlegm, rhinorrhea, sore and dry throat, sinus congestion, wheezing, eye irritation, as well as diagnosed bronchitis
Their respiratory system cannot withstand the polluted air.
Why is the release of sulfur dioxide deadly to animals.
Climate Change
What major world crisis is a direct result of smog and pollution?
About 700° to 1,250° Celsius
What temperature is lave?
When one plate slides under another.
What is subduction?
Crop failure, animal death and deformity, and human illness.
What are the main impacts on humans?
Intoxicating fumes released by volcanoes.
What can lead to the loss of livestock?
Destruction of the ozone layer.
What affects our atmosphere during a volcanic eruption?
What forms when magma erupts form the surface
What is lava?
Magma’s consistency contributes to the amount of pressure.
What would happen if magma is thick, gas bubbles cannot easily escape and pressure builds up?
Nitrogen, argon, helium, neon, methane, carbon monoxide and hydrogen
What gases does a volcano emit?
Loss of habitat and disease.
What two main effects on organisms are caused by volcanoes?
Volcanoes directly or indirectly produce or host deposits of aluminum, diamonds, gold, nickel, lead, zinc, and copper.
What resources do volcanic eruptions provide?
Gaseous emissions from volcano formed the earth's atmosphere.
What formed the atmosphere?
A convergent boundary is an area on Earth where two or more lithospheric plates collide.
What is a Convergent Plate Boundary?
May lead to vehicle accidents.
What is the effect of haze?
Lava flows are fatal to plants.
Water,, crops, vegetation, etc.
What resources are at risk during/after a volcanic eruption?
More than 80% of the earth's surface is volcanic in origin
What percent of Earth’s surface is volcanic in origin?
The buoyancy of the magma, the pressure from the exsolved gases in the magma and the injection of a new batch of magma into an already filled magma chamber.
What are the three main causes of volcanic eruptions?
Cities can be burned down completely within 24 hours.
How can volcanoes effect cities?
Ash can be very abrasive to wings which can easily prevent birds from escaping the volcanic eruption.
How are animals in the sky effected by volcanoes?
The gases and dust particles thrown into the atmosphere during volcanic eruptions have influences on climate. Most of the particles spewed from volcanoes cool the planet by shading incoming solar radiation. The cooling effect can last for months to years depending on the characteristics of the eruption.
How does volcanic activity affect environment?
Tsunamis, flash floods, earthquakes, mudflows and rockfalls.
What can volcanic eruptions trigger?
