Volcanoes
Overview • • • Magma Sources and Types Kinds and Locations of Volcanic Activity Hazards Related to Volcanoes Issues in Predicting Volcanic Eruptions Present and Future Volcanic Hazards in the United States
Magma Source • Areas Where Magma Forms (need heat!) – Upper mantle: asthenosphere – depths of ~ 50 to 250 km – High temps (800 -1100 C), medium pressure – Rocks melt, or partially melt – Divergent plate boundaries – Above subduction zones – Hot spots
Plate tectonics: Asthenosphere is where melting occurs Source: http: //www. geol. umd. edu/~jmerck/gal 04/GEOL 388/lectures/02. html

Magma Types • Composition: – Magmas: >Fe, Mg (mafic) vs >Si. O 2 (felsic) • Dependent on tectonic setting (1) Ocean spreading ridges and hot spots: Mafic rocks (basalt) (2) Continental rifts: felsic (rhyolite, andesite) (3) Subduction zones: mafic + felsic

Felsic: Rhyolite Source: http: //resourcescommittee. house. gov/subcommittees/emr/usgsweb/photogallery/
Magma properties • Volcanic Gases: CO 2, SO 2 • Pressure builds up as magmas rises to surface – Felsic (more Si. O 2): viscous + thick = explosive – Mafic (less Si. O 2): fluid, gases escape *What kind of volcano is safest to live by?
