There are two main types lava plateaus and pyroclastic plateaus. Lava plateau Lava plateaus are formed by highly fluid runny basalt ic lava during numerous successive eruptions through numerous vents without violent explosions quiet eruptions . These eruptions are quiet because of low viscosity of mafic lava, so that it is very fluid and contains small amount of trapped gases. The resulting sheet lava flows may be extruded from linear fissure vent fissure s or rift s or gigantic volcaniceruptions through multiple vents characteristic of the prehistoric era which produced giant flood basalt s. Multiple successive and extensive lava flow s cover the original landscape to eventually form a plateau, which may contain lava field s, cinder cone s, shield volcano es and other Category Volcanic landforms volcanic landform s. In some cases, a lava plateau may be part of a single volcano.

A crater can be of large dimensions, and sometimes of great depth. During certain types of climactic eruptions, the volcano s magma chamber may empty enough for an area above it to subside, forming what may appear to be a crater but is actually known as a caldera . Geomorphology In the majority of typical volcanoes, the crater is situated atop the mountain formed from the erupted volcanic deposits such as lava flow s and tephra . Volcanoes that terminate in such a summit crater are usually of a conical form. Other volcanic craters may be found on the flanks of volcanoes, and these are commonly referred to as flank craters . Some volcanic craters may fill either fully or partially with rain and or melted snow, forming a crater lake . Breached craters have a much lower rim on one side than the rest. A crater may be breached during an eruption, either by explosions or by lava, or through later erosion. Some volcanoes, such as maar s, consist of a crater alone, with scarcely any mountain at all. These volcanic explosion craters are formed when magma rises through water saturated rocks and causes a phreatic eruption . Volcanic craters from phreatic eruptions often occur on plains away from other obvious volcanoes.

Finally ...Image VolcanicPipe.jpg right thumb float 300px Volcanic Pipe Volcanic pipes are wiktionary subterranean subterranean geology geological structures formed by the violent, supersonic eruption of deep origin volcano es. They are considered to be a type of diatreme . Volcanic pipes are composed of a deep, narrow cone of solidified magma described as carrot shaped , and are usually largely composed of one of two characteristic rock types &mdash kimberlite or lamproite . These rocks reflect the composition of the volcanoes deep magma sources, where the Earth is rich in magnesium . Volcanic pipes are relatively rare. They are well known as the primary source of diamond s, and are mined for this purpose. Formation Volcanic pipes form as the result of violent eruptions of deep origin volcanoes. These volcanoes originate at least three times as deep as most other volcanoes, and the resulting magma that is pushed toward the surface is high in magnesium and Volatiles volatile compounds such as water and carbon dioxide . As the body of magma rises toward the surface, the volatile compounds phase transformation transform to gas gaseous phase as pressure is reduced with decreasing depth. This sudden expansion propels the magma upward at rapid speeds, resulting in a shallow supersonic eruption. A useful analogy to this process is the uncorking of a shaken bottle of Champagne wine champagne .

Unreferenced stub auto yes date December 2009 A volcanic block is a fragment of rock geology rock that measures more than Convert 64 mm in abbr on in diameter and is erupted in a solid condition. Blocks are formed from material from previous eruptions or from Country rock geology country rock and are therefore mostly accessory or accidental in origin. Blocks also occur due to the impact and breakage of volcanic bombs a bomb is a block with streamlined appearance, often expelled in a molten state . Bombs can also occur due to the disruption of the crust of a lava dome that has formed up or over a vent during an eruption. Features Blocks are nearly always angular to sub angular and roughly equidimensional. If the parent rock is flow foliated lava, sedimentary material or schistose metamorphic rocks, the blocks may have a plate like or slab like form. In other cases, blocks derived from great depths may resemble polished water worn pebbles and are cobbled due to fluidisation and upwards transport. Blocks can be enormous and may be transported great distances from the volcanic vent . The 1924 eruption of K lauea , Hawaii , expelled rocks weighing up to 14 tons and Mount Vesuvius in Italy discharged blocks weighing 2 3 tons over distances of 100 200m.

Volcanic glass is the amorphous uncrystallized product of rapidly cooling magma . Like all types of glass , it is a state of matter intermediate between the close packed, highly ordered array of a crystal and the highly disordered array of gas. ref Bates and Jackson, 1984, Dictionary of Geological Terms, 3rd ed., Prepared by the American Geological Institute ref Volcanic glass can refer to the interstitial, or matrix geology matrix material in an aphanitic fine grained volcanic rock or can refer to any of several types of vitreous igneous rock s. Most commonly, it refers to obsidian , a rhyolitic glass with high silica content. Other types of volcanic glass include Pumice , which is considered a glass because it has no crystal structure. Apache tears , a kind of nodular obsidian. Tachylite also spelled tachylyte , a basalt ic glass with relatively low silica content. Sideromelane , a less common form tachylyte. Palagonite , a basaltic glass with relatively low silica content. Hyaloclastite , a hydrated tuff like breccia of sideromelane and palagonite. Pele s hair , threads or fibers of volcanic glass, usually basaltic. Pele s tears , tear like drops of volcanic glass, usually basaltic.
