Volcano Eruptions

media type="custom" key="9731504" = = = = = = = = = What Makes a Volcano Erupt? = ==== Have you ever wondered what is he process of a volcano erupting? Well, first, something which is underground called magma gets up the volcano. Second, the magma travels up a hole called main vent inside the volcano and gets hotter and hotter. When the magma is about halfway up the volcano, it turns into lava. When the lava is at the top of the volcano, it blasts out with other things. After the lava is sent high into the air, it runs down the side of the volcano, and leaves everything in it’s path burning. ==== ==== Boom! Far behind you, a volcano erupts. In the distance, you see lava and other things sent high into the air by the erupting volcano. What are the ‘other things’ I mentioned? Well, when a volcano erupts, not only lava comes out of the volcano. Some rocks, ash and a cloud of thick dust also comes out of the volcano. They are like companions; they are like friends with the lava. ==== ==== Lava runs down the erupted volcano after shooting into the air, companioned with rocks, ash and a cloud of thick dust. People may think:” The end has come! Save us! We’re dead!” But some lava runs down pretty slowly, also known as sticky lava. Runny lava runs down he volcano pretty fast, so you’d better watch out! Now you know about volcanoes erupting, you should watch out if you’re next to an active volcano! ====

Rumble Rumble! Did you hear that? That was as eruption. You might wonder what makes a volcano erupt and what is an eruption? Let me tell you.
==== An eruption sometimes happens when large earthquakes occur. Earthquakes occur when two tectonic plates move into each other and crashes, then the ground will start to rumble. Eruptions happen like soda in a can. If you shake the can really hard it will rumble then explode! It is because of the gas, it rises and that’s the same thing as the volcano; just imagine it as a gigantic can of soda. ==== ==== Eruptions are just volcanoes bursting lava and ash out of the volcano and beware volcano ashes are poisonous! Sometimes eruptions happen when gas can’t be held in the volcano anymore it bursts out but then the magma didn’t rise to the top so only ash comes out of the volcano. Oh, and magma is melted rock that forms a liquid and once it get to the top of volcano it bursts out of the volcano the remaining rocks will melt and the magma will be hotter at the top so it becomes lava. There’s also different types of eruptions, like strombolian eruptions erupts every few minutes so it’s not really safe near that kind of erption, plinian eruption is just like normal eruptions only that the gas is stronger then normal volcano gas. Bye, reader! Hope you learned the facts! ====

= What makes a volcano erupt? = ==== BOOM! Do you see red-hot lava at bottom of the volcano? There is melted rock called magma at the bottom of the volcano. As that magma goes up the main vent like an elevator. The magma gets hotter and hotter. When magma is half way up the vent it slowly turns in to lava. Some volcanoes burst like a cannon ball. Some volcanoes slowly come out like toothpaste. Did you ever know that a top of a volcano is a crater? YES it is! The earth is made up of these massive slabs called tectonic plates. When there plates move magma shoots out like lava, ash, and big chunks of stones. If you ever see a mountain spiting out lava and magma, than you must run for your lives. BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Got to run! BOOM BOOM BOOM! Bye! ====

Did you know that there are five different types of volcanic eruptions?
==== Plinian eruptions are the most dangerous and explosive because it splashes out a huge amount of lava. Effusive eruptions are less dangerous because gasses are weaker and it splashes out fewer amounts off lava. Hydrovolcanic eruptions is a under water volcano that erupts, it mostly splashes out water. Fissure eruptions are when plates move, magma rises, then it cause a eruptions. ==== ==== Volcano erupt because of different kind of disasters like earthquakes, because when plates move underground the ground shakes, the magma rises by when gasses push the magma and when magma hits the air it turns to lava. When lava reaches the top of the volcano it sometimes gets trapped by a rock in the volcano, it can’t stand this much lava so the lava rushes out and that’s how it causes an eruption. ==== ==== Plinian eruptions are when the gases are stronger so then the gases pushes the lava quickly and fast, so it cause a dangerous and explosive eruption called Plinian eruption. Every different types of volcano eruption has it’s dangerous in it’s own way. ====
