1 Chapter 7 Lecture Outline Volcanoes and Other Igneous Activity
2 Focus Question 7.1 How were the eruptions of Mount St. Helens and Hawaii s Kilauea volcano different?
3 Mount St. Helens eruption (May 18,1980) Largest historic eruption in North America Lowered peak by more than 400 m Destroyed all trees in a 400 km 2 area Mudflows 29 km down Toutle River Ejected 1 km 3 ash more than 18 km into stratosphere
4 Mount St. Helens eruption (May 18,1980)
5 Kilauea (Hawaii) Quiet eruption of fluid basaltic lava Occasional lava sprays Eruption began in 1983 and has been ongoing for more than 20 years
6 Kilauea (Hawaii)
7 Focus Question 7.2 What controls the viscosity of magma and the quiescent or explosive eruption of volcanoes?
8 The Nature of Volcanic Eruptions Magma Molten rock containing crystals and dissolved gas Source material for volcanic eruptions Lava Erupted magma
9 The Nature of Volcanic Eruptions Factors determining the violence or explosiveness of a volcanic eruption Composition of the magma Temperature of the magma Dissolved gases in the magma The above three factors control the viscosity of a given magma, which in turn controls the nature of an eruption Viscosity is a measure of a material s resistance to flow (e.g., higher viscosity materials flow with greater difficulty)
10 The Nature of Volcanic Eruption Factors affecting viscosity: Temperature hotter magmas are less viscous Composition silica (SiO 2 ) content Higher silica content = higher viscosity (e.g., felsic lava such as rhyolite) Lower silica content = lower viscosity or more fluid-like behavior (e.g., mafic lava such as basalt Dissolved gases Gas content affects magma mobility Gases expand within a magma as it nears the Earth s surface due to decreasing pressure The violence of an eruption is related to how easily gases escape from magma
11 The Nature of Volcanic Eruptions How to decrease magma viscosity Increase temperature Decrease silica content Rhyolitic magma (>70% Si) forms short, thick flows Basaltic magma (~50% Si) is fluid Add water
12 The Nature of Volcanic Eruptions
13 The Nature of Volcanic Eruptions Basaltic magma Generated by partial melting in upper mantle At oceanic crust, erupts as highly fluid lava At continental crust, collects at crust-mantle boundary Partial melting of overlying continental crust generates dense, silica-rich magma
14 The Nature of Volcanic Eruptions Quiescent eruptions Triggered by addition of magma to near-surface magma chamber Inflation and fracture of volcano summit Fluid basaltic lava Ongoing eruption of Kilauea since 1983
15 The Nature of Volcanic Eruptions
16 The Nature of Volcanic Eruptions Explosive eruptions Pressure decreases as magma rises Dissolved gas forms expanding bubbles Viscous magma expels fragmented lava and gas Buoyant plumes of material (eruption columns) Rapid ejection of magma Reduces pressure in magma chamber Causes further expansion and eruption
17 The Nature of Volcanic Eruptions
18 Focus Question 7.2 What controls the viscosity of magma and the quiescent or explosive eruption of volcanoes? Viscosity of magma is controlled by temperature, silica content, and dissolved gasses Decrease temperature = increased viscosity Increased silica = increased viscosity Decrease dissolved gas = increased viscosity
19 Focus Question 7.3 What are the three categories of materials extruded in a volcanic eruption?
20
21 Materials Extruded During an Eruption Lava flows 90% of lava is basaltic Flows in thin, broad sheets or ribbons Flow rate ~ 10 to 300 m/hr Up to 30 km/hr downhill ~ 9% is andesitic/intermediate < 1% is rhyolitic Thick flows move imperceptibly slow Don t flow beyond a few km from vents
22 Materials Extruded During an Eruption Two types of basaltic lava flows: Aa Rough, jagged blocks with sharp edges Cooler, more viscous basaltic flows Pahoehoe Smooth, ropy surfaces Hotter, less viscous basaltic flows Lava tubes Insulated pathways of a lava flow
23 Materials Extruded During an Eruption
24 Materials Extruded During an Eruption Dissolved Gases - volatiles ~ 1 6% of total magma weight ~ 70% water vapor, 15% carbon dioxide, 5% nitrogen, 5% sulfur dioxide, minor amounts of chlorine, hydrogen, and argon Contribute to atmosphere Significant quantities can alter global climate Dissolved into magma because of confining pressure
25 Materials Extruded During an Eruption Pyroclastic materials or tephra Particles erupted from a volcano Ash and dust Hot ash fuses to form welded tuff Lapilli and cinders are pea- to walnut-sized pyroclasts Blocks are larger than 64 mm Bombs are streamlined blocks ejected while still molten Scoria is vesicular ejecta Pumice is felsic equivalent
26
27
28 Focus Question 7.4 What are the basic features of a typical volcano cone?
29 Anatomy of a Volcano Volcanic landforms are the result of many generations of volcanic activity Eruptions start at a fissure Flow is localized into a circular conduit Conduit terminates at a vent Successive eruptions form a volcanic cone
30 Anatomy of a Volcano Crater Funnel-shaped depression at the summit Form by erosion during, or collapse following, eruptions Calderas are craters > 1km Flank eruptions generate parasitic cones Secondary vents that emit gas only are called fumaroles
31 Anatomy of a Volcano
32 Focus Question 7.5 What are the characteristics of shield volcanoes?
33 Shield Volcanoes Broad domed structures built by accumulation of basaltic lava Most begin as seamounts e.g., Canary Islands, Hawaiian Islands, Galapagos, Easter Island, Newberry Volcano in Oregon
34 Shield Volcanoes Mauna Loa is largest shield volcano 9 km high Low angle slopes Well-developed caldera from collapse of magma chamber following eruption
35 Shield Volcanoes Kilauea is most active and studied volcano 50 eruptions since 1823 Most recent began in 1983 Magma chamber inflates and earthquake swarms indicate an impending eruption
36 Shield Volcanoes
37 Focus Question 7.6 What are the characteristics of cinder cones?
38 Cinder Cones Cinder cones Symmetrical Steep-sided Loose accumulations of ejected scoria Commonly pea- to walnut-sized fragments Basaltic composition, reddish-brown color Some produce lava flows Craters are relatively large and deep
39 Cinder Cones Cinder cones form quickly Many in less than one month Generally in a single eruptive event Small size ( m)
40 Paricutin Observed by farmer, forming in a Mexican cornfield, 1943 Grew to 130 ft in first day, Day ft. Covered a nearby village in 1944 (aa flow) Ended in 9 years -
41 Cinder Cones
42 Focus Question 7.7 What are the characteristics of composite volcanoes?
43 Composite Volcanoes Composite cones or stratovolcanoes Located around the Ring of Fire Large, symmetrical cones Built by layers of cinder and ash alternating with lava flows Primarily silica-rich andesitic magma Associated with explosive eruptions and abundant pyroclastic material Steep summit and gradually sloping flanks
44 Mount Etna Erupts

More informationVULCANICITY. What is vulcanicity?
VULCANICITY What is vulcanicity? Vulcanicity is the process through which gases and molten rock are either extruded (poured) on the earth's surface or intruded (forced) into the earth's crust. Molten rock
