  2. Aira Caldera - Wikipedia

    A prime example is the Sakurajima eruption in 1914 (approximately 1.5 km 3 in volume), which caused the magma chamber to sink 60 cm. 58 people were killed in the eruption. [4] For this amount of magma to erupt, it would take approximately 130 years for the chamber to refill as according to Dr James Hickey and his co-authors.

  3. 1902 eruption of Mount Pelée - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1902_eruption_of_Mount_Pelée

    The tsunamis swept along the coast, damaging buildings and boats. The explosions resumed the night of 5 May. The following morning, parts of the eruption plume became incandescent, signifying that the character of the eruption had changed. The phreatic eruptions had finally given way to magmatic eruptions as magma reached the surface. These ...

  4. Mount Mazama - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Mazama

    Eventually, the top of Mazama's magma chamber subsided, and concentric openings formed by the summit, producing smaller vents surrounding the main eruptive cone. Pumice ejected from these new fractures created rapid pyroclastic flows that coursed down all the sides of Mazama, traveling over tall ridges and summits of subfeatures and extending ...

  5. Hawaiian eruption - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hawaiian_eruption

    Hawaiian eruption. A Hawaiian eruption is a type of volcanic eruption where lava flows from the vent in a relatively gentle, low level eruption; it is so named because it is characteristic of Hawaiian volcanoes. Typically they are effusive eruptions, with basaltic magmas of low viscosity, low content of gases, and high temperature at the vent.

  6. Submarine volcano - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Submarine_volcano

    Submarine volcanoes are underwater vents or fissures in the Earth 's surface from which magma can erupt. Many submarine volcanoes are located near areas of tectonic plate formation, known as mid-ocean ridges. The volcanoes at mid-ocean ridges alone are estimated to account for 75% of the magma output on Earth. [1]

  7. Magma chamber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magma_chamber

    A magma chamber is a large pool of liquid rock beneath the surface of the Earth. The molten rock, or magma, in such a chamber is less dense than the surrounding country rock, which produces buoyant forces on the magma that tend to drive it upwards. [1] If the magma finds a path to the surface, then the result will be a volcanic eruption ...

  8. Timeline of volcanism on Earth - Wikipedia

    Mount Emmons, Mount Hague, and Double Crater are post-caldera cones. [6] The topography of the Basin and Range Province is a result of crustal extension within this part of the North American Plate (rifting of the North American craton or Laurentia from Western North America; e.g. Gulf of California, Rio Grande rift, Oregon-Idaho graben).

  9. Taurere / Taylor Hill - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taurere_/_Taylor_Hill

    Taurere / Taylor Hill. Scoria cone of Taylors Hill with Māori kūmara pits in left foreground. Taylors Hill (also Te Taurere or officially Taurere / Taylor Hill), [1][2] is a volcano in the Auckland volcanic field. It erupted about 33,000 years ago. [2] Its scoria cone reaches 57 m (187 ft) high.
