  1. Volcanic pipe

    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 . Image Crater Hypipamee.JPG thumb right The Crater , Hypipamee National Park, Atherton Tableland , Queensland ..., resulting in a broader cone of eviscerated rock the ejection of this rock also forms a tuff ring, like kimberlite eruptions .
