Volcanoes
... Why Volcanoes form • Volcanic Eruptions occur when magma rises to the surface. This will happen when the asthenosphere melts enough to flow. There are three things that can cause this: • 1- A decrease in pressure (like at a midocean ridge or rift valley) • 2- An increase in temperature (like at a h ...

Four types of lava • Aa: lava that has a rough surface • Pahoehoe: lava that has a smooth or billowy surface; forms thin crust and wrinkles • Pillow lava: lava that erupts under water, has a round shape • Blocky lava: cooler, lava that does not travel far from eruption, jagged when it dries. ...

magma and lava
... It depends on the type of magma/lava that the volcano is made up of. It can either be felsic or mafic lava. Felsic lava is associated with explosive eruptions because it is high in silica which means it is more viscous. Since it is more viscous the dissolved gases within it cannot escape easily whic ...

Silverthrone Caldera
The Silverthrone Caldera is a potentially active caldera complex in southwestern British Columbia, Canada, located over 350 kilometres (220 mi) northwest of the city of Vancouver and about 50 kilometres (31 mi) west of Mount Waddington in the Pacific Ranges of the Coast Mountains. The caldera is one of the largest of the few calderas in western Canada, measuring about 30 kilometres (19 mi) long (north-south) and 20 kilometres (12 mi) wide (east-west). Mount Silverthrone, an eroded lava dome on the caldera's northern flank that is 2,864 metres (9,396 ft) high may be the highest volcano in Canada.The main glaciers in the Silverthrone area are the Pashleth, Kingcome, Trudel, Klinaklini and Silverthrone glaciers. Most of the caldera lies in the Ha-Iltzuk Icefield, which is the largest icefield in the southern half of the Coast Mountains; it is one of the five icefields in southwestern British Columbia that thinned between the mid-1980s and 1999 due to global warming. Nearly half of the icefield is drained by the Klinaklini Glacier, which feeds the Klinaklini River.The Silverthrone Caldera is very remote and rarely visited or studied by geoscientists, such as volcanologists. It can be reached by helicopter or — with major difficulty — by hiking along one of the several river valleys extending from the British Columbia Coast or from the Interior Plateau.
