1.1. The Hawaiian type of eruption is characterized by a low (10, rarely 15) explosive index and represents a calm outpouring of liquid basaltic lava, accompanied by weak explosions. Basaltic lava flows with characteristic wavy, rope (pahoehoe-lavas) and small-block (aa-lavas) surfaces, interbedded with a small amount of pyroclastic material, lie at an angle of 2-3°, rarely 5°. Pyroclastic material is usually ejected in a liquid state, forming shaped bombs (ball, ellipsoidal, pear-shaped, disk, belt, cylindrical, slag). Characteristic is the formation of slags, which in the near-crater part are sintered into agglutinates. The thinnest material formed during explosions is drop-shaped ("Pele's tears") and hair-like ("Pele's hair") fragments. It is possible to eject crystals (crystallopillas) in the form of prepared plagioclase individuals up to 3-5 cm in diameter. The lava temperature is 1200–1100° C, the viscosity coefficient is 103–104 poise. 1.1.

1.3. The Vulcan type of eruption is widespread and is usually combined with Strombolian. The composition of volcanic products is andesite and dacite, less commonly basaltic andesite and rhyolite. This type of eruption releases heated, but not plastic, explosive material of varying sizes and rare lava flows. Lava flows are usually short with a blocky surface. The blocks are much larger than in the basaltic and basaltic andesite flows of the Strombolian eruptions. Characteristic are peculiar volcanic bombs - like “bread crust”, having a smooth, highly cracked surface. Explosive index 60-80 or more. The shape of the fragments is angular, their size ranges from silt (0.01 mm) to blocks with a diameter of 1 m or more, but ash particles (less than 2.0 mm) predominate, which are most often represented by angular (acute-angled) fragments of volcanic glass. Slags are usually absent. The admixture of foreign and resurgent material is more than 10%. 1.3. The Vulcan type of eruption is widespread and is usually combined with Strombolian.

Slags are usually absent. The admixture of foreign and resurgent material is more than 10%. During volcano-Strombolian explosions, ash material rises to a height of up to a few kilometers and, depending on the strength and direction of the wind, covers significant areas near the volcano. The finest material (10-15%), mainly vitroclastic, belongs outside the volcanic structure and is part of the soil-pyroclastic covers and volcanic-terrigenous deposits. The ashes of Vulcan eruptions are not characterized by a porous, drop-shaped, melted form of fragments. So for fragments of ash from the Karymsky volcano from the eruptions of 1966 and 1979. a shape close to isometric with angular protrusions of crystals was noted, but sharply angular shapes were not observed. According to E.F. Maleev (1982), the mineral composition of ashes changes as the particle size increases. In large fractions, the number of crystals is 10-15%, and in small ones - 40-45%, which is probably explained by the separation of volcanic glass and its removal to separate areas. The ashes contain about 10% resurgent and retroclastic fragments, which, after weak explosions, again fell into the crater and, subjected to repeated heating, acquired a red color. The lava temperature is 1050–950 °C, the viscosity coefficient is 105–106 poise. The prototype was described on the island of Vulcano in the Aeolian Islands group. The volcanic type of eruption is characteristic of the Avachinsky and Karymsky volcanoes (Kamchatka), and was widely manifested in combination with the Strombolian type at the Northern breakthrough of the GTFE (Kamchatka).

1.7. The phreatic (Bandaisan, ultravolcanic) type of eruption produces only explosive material in a cold and rarely hot state. Characteristically, there is a large number of fragments of the volcano's basement rocks (75-100%) in the absence of juvenile material. Phreatic eruptions can partially destroy the volcanic structure, which leads to the accumulation of huge masses of coarse material of near-crater facies in lower parts of the relief. Typically these are complex mixtures of lava and tuff fragments with differently oriented bedding. Explosiveness index 100. Rock fragments are ejected as steam due to the contact of superheated (thermal) waters with groundwater or when lava descends in a volcano channel below the groundwater level. 1.7.

Rock fragments are ejected as steam due to the contact of superheated (thermal) waters with groundwater or when lava descends in a volcano channel below the groundwater level. The peculiarity of phreatic eruptions is the rapid (within several tens of seconds) increase in power, which usually does not decrease until the end of the eruption. The famous French volcanologist Harun Taziev observed in 1976 a similar phenomenon from start to finish (more than 30 minutes) on the Soufriere volcano (Guadeloupe Island), thirteen of whose eruptions were phreatic. The most famous example of this type is the eruption of the Bandai-San volcano (Japan, 1888). Phreatic explosions are also possible when lava flows penetrate glaciers covering the slopes of stratovolcanoes. Thus, in July 1993, during the eruption of Klyuchevsky volcano, the introduction of a lava flow into the Erman Glacier was accompanied by a series of powerful phreatic explosions that reached a height of 2-3 km (Fedotov et al., 1995). The above classification is visual, but is applicable mainly to simple eruptions. Complex eruptions can be characterized by several types of activity simultaneously. Moreover, they are so intertwined with each other that it can be difficult to divide eruptions into segments with a certain type of activity. Thus, the unique Great Fissure Tolbachik eruption in Kamchatka (1975-1976) was characterized by the manifestation of elements of almost all types of activity: Vulcan, Strombolian, Peleian, Plinian and Hawaiian.

Slide description:

History of the name About 20 centuries ago, a mountainous island in the Mediterranean Sea near Sicily began to spew smoke and fire. Explaining this strange phenomenon, people believed that the forge of the Roman god Vulcan was located in the mountain. The clouds of ash, they argued, were smoke from his forge, and the splashes of lava were sparks from his anvil. They called this island "Vulcano" - from the Latin word "Volcano".


Vulcan (Greek - Hephaestus). In Greek and Roman mythology, he is the god of fire and a blacksmith who forged weapons for many gods and heroes. He was a teacher ancient man and taught him to use fire. He was lame from birth or as a result of being thrown from Olympus to earth by Jupiter in a fit of rage.


Poets about volcanoes Vesuvius opened the smoke, a cloud of flames gushed out, It developed widely, like a battle flag. The earth is shaking from the shaky columns. Idols are falling! The people, driven by fear, in crowds, old and young, under the inflamed dust, under the rain of stones, flee from the city. A.S. Pushkin VOLCANOES Extinct volcanoes are silent, ash falls to their bottom. Giants rest there after committing evil. B. Akhmadulina Volcanoes are blown up. The Ocean is defeated... Arthur Rimbaud




The structure of a volcano A typical volcano is a hill with a pipe running through its thickness, called a volcano vent, and a magma chamber (an area where magma accumulates) from which the vent rises. When high pressure is created in a magma chamber, a mixture of magma and hard rocks - lava - rises up the vent and is thrown into the air. This phenomenon is called a volcanic eruption.












Ash is the finest volcanic product, having the appearance of a powdery mass. During explosive eruptions, it is thrown onto the surface of the earth with a volume often of many cubic kilometers and rises in the form of a cloud cloud to a height of several tens of kilometers. Thick deposits of ash, covering the slopes and foothills of volcanoes in layers of many meters, destroy large forests and even cities.

On the left, on the right - bombs like bread crusts, in the middle - in the form of a spindle. Volcanic bombs have an unusually wide variety of shapes and sizes among fragmental material. They are formed from pieces of lava raised to a certain height by gases that are intensely released from the hot melt.






Volcanoes are divided into: Active Active volcanoes are those that are currently erupting or erupting periodically, at certain intervals. If magma does not pour out, but the volcano “smoke” or “smoke,” then it is also considered active. Dormant Volcanoes are considered to have fallen asleep if they were active during a historical period of time and have retained their shape; weak tremors and earthquakes periodically occur in their depths. Extinct Extinct are volcanoes that were active once in the distant past; they have blurred and destroyed cones




Hawaiian type On the main island of Hawaii is Mauna Loa volcano. Its characteristic feature is that basaltic melts flow here relatively calmly, without explosions. The melt is weakly saturated with gases and has low viscosity, although unusually spectacular lava fountains sometimes appear. As a result of such an eruption, the volcano has very gentle slopes on which several craters are located.


Stromboli type Although the melt here is basaltic, that is, it has a basic composition, it has some viscosity. Therefore, there is an alternation of outpourings of lava flows and explosions. Explosions release bombs, lapilli, ash and basalt slag. Stromboli - a volcano of the Aeolian Islands - is notable for the fact that it is constantly active, being a unique, unusually bright beacon Mediterranean Sea


Type Vulcano The volcano of the island of Vulcano, located in the Aeolian Islands, is also very famous. It is characterized by the eruption of relatively acidic volcanic products (andesite-dacite). Due to the high viscosity of the melt, the volcano's crater becomes clogged. The accumulated vapors and gases explode this plug and, together with other finely crushed particles various forms and sizes throw them to great heights. That's what they often say: Vulcan-type explosive eruptions.


Vesuvian type Named by name famous volcano Vesuvius, located in Italy, near Naples. The ancient Roman scientist Pliny the Younger described it very colorfully, and therefore this type of eruption is often called Plinian. This type is characterized by strong explosive eruptions due to periodic blockage of the volcano's vent, as well as the subsequent outpouring of lava flows.


Pompeii disappeared under a 7-8 meter layer of ash and rubble, which continuously fell onto the streets and houses. Herculaneum was flooded with hot lava and boiling mud. Stabia was almost completely destroyed. Only on August 27, three days after the start of the eruption, the sun appeared for the first time, illuminating three dead city. On August 24, 1979, people paid with their lives for their carelessness: suddenly in the blue sky above Gulf of Naples a lava plug shot up, tightly plugging the mouth of the Vesuvius crater for many millennia.




The inhabitants of Pompeii, buried under the ash, died of suffocation. However, the caverns in the layer of hardened ash, where their bodies had previously been located, retained the shape and posture of the unfortunates for many years. When these caverns were filled with gypsum mortar, people saw sculptural images of the dead. Cast of a suffocating woman, preserved in ashes Sculptural images of the dead Cast of a dog


Pelée type The Mont Pelée (Bald Mountain) volcano, which gives its name to the next type of eruption, is located on the island of Martinique (Less Antilles V Atlantic Ocean). It is characterized by hot ash clouds and the growth of domes in the crater of the volcano. For the first time, a directed explosion was observed here, covering a large area.






An "active" volcano is a volcano that is erupting recent years Most of the Earth's active volcanoes are located in only a few countries












The large fissure Tolbachik eruption is considered one of the largest known basaltic eruptions in the Kuril-Kamchatka belt. The eruption lasted almost a year and a half (July December 1976). The height of the jet of hot gases reached a height of 2.5 km, and the ash cloud reached 12 km. As a result of the eruption, 4 cones of the New Tolbachin volcanoes were formed, and the huge forested area around them turned into a scorched desert. Over the years that have passed since then, the cones have not had time to cool completely, so standing at the top of the cone, you feel the heat coming from below. The ash desert is gradually being reclaimed by lichens, dwarf willow and other pioneer plants.


The following morphological types of volcanoes are distinguished: cone-shaped - the result of frequent eruptions without strong explosions; shield, flat volcanoes - devices for the outpouring of liquid lavas; volcanic ridges that arose when eruption centers moved along cracks; volcanic ridges that arose when eruption centers moved along cracks; calderacaldera volcanoes; volcanoes with sommavolcanoes with somma that arose within calderas after their renewal; dome volcanoes.


Underwater volcanic activity Guyots Guyots [named after the discoverer of the American geographer and geologist A. Guyot (Guyot; A. Guyot;)], isolated flat-topped volcanic seamounts. They are found in groups or in the form of single rises mainly in the Pacific Ocean. Some gases are also found in the Atlantic and Indian oceans. The mountain peaks are located at depths from 200 to 2000 m. It is believed that the alignment of the mountain peaks is the result of abrasion. Since abrasion affects only to a depth of about m, it is assumed that most of the mountains experienced subsidence along with the ocean floor that forms their base.


Volcanoes are very dangerous, but they also bring benefits to humans. Various igneous rocks are used as building materials and abrasives. The sulfur released by the volcano is part of many useful chemicals. Volcanic material - pumice - is included in some toothpastes. Sapphires, zircons, copper, silver, gold - all this can be mined from volcanic rocks. Some of the largest diamonds were also found in them.


Volcanoes of the Universe Nameless volcano in the area north pole Io (moon of Jupiter). Galileo (an artificial probe) photographed the eruption of this volcano; a column of dust rose to a height of about 430 km. An even higher column of ash and dust was also spotted - rising to a height of more than 480 km. Using the equipment installed on Galileo, it was possible to determine the composition of the volcanic ejecta. These were particles that resembled snowflakes, made up of sulfur dioxide molecules.

What is a volcano ?

  • Volcano- (from Latin vulcanus - fire, flame), a conical mountain, from the neck of which hot gases, steam, ash, rock fragments, as well as powerful streams of hot lava that spread over the surface of the earth are emitted.
  • A volcano is a geological formation on the surface of the earth’s crust or the crust of another planet, where magma comes to the surface, forming lava, volcanic gases, and stones.
  • Volcanoes are conical mountains formed by the products of their eruptions.

Historical catastrophe of volcanic origin

K. Bryullov “The Last Day of Pompeii”





Causes of volcanic eruptions

Earthquake;

Pressure drop in the magma chamber. And with a sudden decrease in pressure, the magma melts, the gases expand and rush out.


Signs of a volcanic eruption

Almost always a volcanic eruption can be predicted. The most characteristic signs of the “awakening” of a volcano are:

  • - increased release of gases and

mineral waters on it

  • - temperature increase;
  • - underground hum.

Types of volcanic eruptions

If gases are released from the magma relatively calmly, then it flows to the surface, forming lava flows. This eruption was called effusive.


If gases are released quickly, the magmatic melt appears to instantly boil and burst with expanding gas bubbles.

Something powerful is happening.

explosive eruption

If the magma is very viscous and its temperature is low, then it is slowly squeezed out to the surface. Such an eruption is called extrusive.


Types of volcanoes

Most common central type volcanoes is a hill, mountain or hill with a depression at the top – crater , from which magma comes to the surface. thrown out during a volcanic eruption

rock fragments from it,

ash, poured lava

Slide 1

Slide 2

Volcanic eruptions remind us of the formidable and indomitable forces that are hidden in the bowels of the Earth.
The mystery of the causes of volcanism has always aroused fear and keen interest among people, and the tragic consequences of eruptions forced them to study this element.

Slide 3

Volcano formation
When a magma chamber forms in the depths of the Earth, molten liquid magma presses from below on the tectonic plate with such force that it begins to crack. Magma rushes upward along cracks and faults, melting the rock and widening the cracks. This creates an exit channel. It passes through the center of the volcano, through which molten magma pours out from the crater of the volcano to the outside in the form of fiery liquid lava. The products of the eruption - pumice, lava, tuffs - settle on the slopes of the volcano, forming a cone. At the top of the volcano there is a depression - a crater. At the bottom of the crater you can see the crater of the volcano - the opening of the outlet channel through which ash, hot gases and water vapor, lava and rock fragments erupt. Volcano vents can be gaping, empty, or filled with molten lava. If lava hardens in a crater, a solid plug is formed, which can only be broken through by a strong volcanic eruption, resulting in a powerful explosion.

Slide 4

Active volcanoes
Volcanoes spew out molten rock, ash, gases, and rocks from time to time. This happens because deep below them there is a magma chamber, similar to a huge furnace in which rock, turning into fiery liquid lava.
Those volcanoes are also considered active if there is any evidence of eruptions in human history.

Slide 5

Extinct volcanoes
Inactive volcanoes were active only in prehistoric times. The hearth beneath them has long gone out, and they themselves are so badly destroyed that only geological research reveals traces of ancient volcanic activity.

Slide 6

Dormant volcanoes
Dormant volcanoes have not erupted in historical times, but a catastrophic eruption may begin at any moment, because the magma chamber beneath them has not gone out. Dormant volcanoes show signs of life: they can smoke - smoke comes from their crater, gases and steam are released from cracks in the mountain, hot springs gush out. The longer a dormant volcano remains dormant, the more dangerous it is: the power of its explosive awakening can be catastrophic.

Slide 7

Types of eruptions

Slide 8

Explosive eruptions
A volcano explosion occurs when volcanic gases are released from thick magma. During such eruptions, mountain tops are destroyed and millions of tons of ash are thrown into the sky to great heights. Ash, gases and steam rise tens of kilometers into the sky in the form of curly clouds.

Slide 9

Effusive eruptions
During an effusive volcanic eruption, liquid lava flows freely to form lava flows and sheets

Slide 10

Volcanic gases
Volcanic phenomena are associated with the action of gases. If the magma is very liquid, gases are released freely and do not threaten explosions. Gases can foam even viscous magma, forming porous pumice, disperse magma into small particles - volcanic ash and sand - and, combining with them, form a deadly scorching cloud. And finally, gases can scatter rock fragments from the crater of a volcano hundreds of meters away.

Slide 11

Bezymyanny Volcano
Bezymyanny volcano is located near Klyuchevaya Sopka. It was considered extinct, and the power of its awakening was gigantic. On March 30, 1956, a terrible explosion destroyed the entire upper part of the volcano. Clouds of ash shot up almost 40 km, from
From the vent, a powerful stream of hot gas, volcanic sand and ash burst out, which burned out all the vegetation for 25 km around the volcano. A lava dome began to grow from the craters. Now the base of this dome is 750 m, and the height is 320 m. Fortunately, despite all the fury of the eruption, no one died; not a single living soul was within a radius of 45 km from the volcano during the hours of the eruption.

Slide 12

Tolbachinskaya Sopka
Volcano Tolbachik - very active volcano. At its peak, 3085 m high, there was a huge caldera with a crater 300 m in diameter and 150 meters deep. From time to time there appeared in the crater small lake hot lava. In 1975-1976, an Icelandic-type fissure eruption occurred. It lasted continuously for 520 days.
For very a short time Many cracks more than a kilometer long formed. All this was accompanied by the spilling and gushing of lava. During the Tolbachik eruption, two cubic kilometers of volcanic products were thrown to the surface from the depths of the Earth. This is the largest known volcanic eruption in Kamchatka and the Kuril Islands.

Slide 13

Mayon Volcano, the most active on the island of Luzon. On October 23, 1776, he caused the death of 2,000 people when great amount lava was ejected from its crater.
Volcano Mayon
Mayon's longest eruption occurred in 1897. It lasted from June 23 to June 30 and claimed 400 lives.

Slide 14

Volcano Stromboli
In the south of Italy, near the island of Vulcano. Located volcano island Stromboli. He has a very restless character, and he has been acting for several millennia almost without interruption. From time to time, explosions occur in its crater, and hot slag and volcanic bombs fly up tens and sometimes hundreds of meters, but lava usually does not flow from it.
One of the most powerful eruptions of Stromboli was noted in 1930, and since the fifteenth century there have already been seven of them.
