Yes, basically it is down to the silica content...Originally posted by CerberusIV
So there you have it - it's all down to the body chemistry of the volcano.
Generally speaking the more 'landward', or established a volcano, the more silica it contains, the more viscous it is, the steeper the gradient of the volcano and the more dangerous it is to humans...Comment

IIRC from geology class, the Hawaiians even have different names for different types of lava. The kind that dries into ropy lumps is pahoehoe, while t'other is a'a. Or something like that.Comment

what about composite volcanoes?! don't tell me 4th grade was a lie!!!!Originally posted by Zkribbler
There a essentially two kinds of volcanos: shield volcanoes and cone volcanos. Hawaii has shield volcanos, where the lava comes out really hot, really fluid, and thus spreads out in a wide dome. Tahiti has cone volcanos where the lava is less hot, thicker and thus piles up into the classic volcano cone.
Because Hawaiian volcanos are more fluid, they are less explosive and thus throw up less ash. Er...ya get it?Comment

I didn't visit this thread yesterday, since I was sure it wouldn't be worth it, the title being very obvious on what it really was all about. But here it still are, and on top of that with lots of postings by rah. And really, I applaud you Plato, very well done.

I dunno. Maybe they invented a new kind of volcano since I studies them.Originally posted by b etor
