A. the nature of the magma (viscosity and gas contents) defines its nature of eruption. low viscosity and low gas contents will result in a lava flow. high viscosity and high gas contents will result in explosions.

The catastrophes of earthquakes and volcanoes are devastating to humans?
Q. yet they indicate a living and dynamic planet. How does plate tectonics help us predict where and when earthquakes will occur? Can we limit the devastation of earthquakes and volcanoes by knowing more about plate tectonics? Why does a seismic knowledge of the interior of the Earth help us on the surface? Should we initiate planning to avoid catastrophe-prone areas, or should we try to protect against those catastrophes as they occur?

A. 1) Earthquakes are extremely common at plate boundaries. Knowing where these boundaries are gives us a better idea as to where to expect EQs 2) Yes and no. The more we know about plate tectonics the more we can learn about EQs. But EQs, though statistical in some ways, are still hard to predict. 3) Knowing the interior of the Earth helps us know how soon waves are going to end up in other places. 4) What hasn't been planned, plan and build away from prone areas. What has been planned and built needs protection and better warning systems.

A. Geothermal Energy is essentially the heat that comes from within the Earth. The word 'geothermal' itself is derived from two Greek words. 'Geo' implies earth. 'Therme' implies heat. The hot water and steam produced withinthe Earth can be harnessed for electricity generation and heating of buildings. Geothermal Energy generated by the Earth's interior is renewable energy. Geothermal reservoirs are mostly situated deep inside the Earth.

A. The differences between a cinder cone and shield---a cinder cone's angle of repose is about 30 degrees, where a shield is around 15 degrees. It's been a while but i think the magma in a cinder cone is less viscous than a shield. A composite is a little wierd. The viscosity of the magma determines how explosive a volcano will be, the less viscous the more explosive. A composite volcano can move on that scale, in one eruption it may pour magma that is like a river, then in another eruption it may explode like an a-bomb. Cinder volcanoes and composite can be explosive whereas shields are usually not. Hope this helps some.

A. Actually, most planetary scientists do not think there was ever plate tectonics on Mars, or on Jupiter's moon Io, which is the more volcanically active thing in the Solar System. You can get volcanoes, like hot spot volcanoes here on Earth, popping up between plates, just from strong convection in a very hot mantle. You can get volcanoes popping up from deep meteorite impacts that penetrate into a molten mantle. Or, like on Jupiter's moon Io, you can get extreme gravitational pulling and shearing from a nearby huge planet, which heats the mantle and causes the crust to crack and volcanoes form there.

A. There are two types of volcanoes, they are andesitic and shield. Andesitic are found along plate subduction zones while shield volcanoes produce islands from oceanic hot spots. Andesitic volcanoes are highly viscous plagioclase and feldspar and form from more explosive events, while shield volcano have low viscosity and flow smoothly without explosive events. Volcanoes are built up from hot, molten lava flowing through vents from the earth's mantle.

The types of convergence include consuming, where one plate passes under another (subduction), collisional, where both crumple and maintain pressure against each other, and transform, where the plate margins slip against one another. Consuming plate margins, where one plate is subducted beneath the other, results in melting of some of the subducted plate at depth. Some of that magma rises to the surface of the other plate, forming volcanoes. The ongoing collison of the plates produces earthquakes, particularly when the motion between the plates is temporarily stopped by one plate becoming jammed.
