A vent at the earth's surface through which magma and gases erupt?

∙ 9y ago
Magma becomes known as lava when it reaches the surface. And when the lava cools it usually forms some type of igneous rock, depending on the chemical composition of the lava.
The gases have no common name that I know of. But for the most part they are common gases which include but are not limited to steam, CO2, and traces of sulfur gases.

∙ 9y agoA volcano is in fact a mountain that opens downward into the Earth's surface into a chamber of magma. Magma and gases can erupt from the volcano. When magma reaches outside of the volcano, it is called lava.

∙ 9y agoWhen magma is released into the ocean, it begins to cool right away and form hard rock. This cooled magma creates a new ocean floor.

What is any opening in Earths crust through which hot gases rock and melted material erupt?
A volcano.
What is an opening in earths crust through which gases and melted rock pass?
volcano
What is the complete predicate in volcanoes are places on the earths surface where molten rock gases and ash from deep inside the earth are ejected?
rocks,gases,and ash
What provides the force that causes magma to erupt to the surface?
Magma is propelled to the surface by temperature differences, which cause convection currents. The temperature differences result from radioactive elements within the mantle.
Why do they call the ring of fire the ring of fire?
The earths surface is made of plates. Basically these land masses are like big icebergs floating at sea. It is just these land masses are on a sea of molten rock. There is multiple plates that include Philippine Sea Plate, North American Plate, Eurasian Plate, Indo-Australian Plate, Nazca Plate and the Pacific Plate. Because the earths core releases gases that rise to the surface it will cause the plates to fall and the allows the gases to escape. If there were not plates or gaps in the surface that allowed the gases out the earths core would be like a pressure cooker and eventually explode.
What is the opening called in the earths crust called through which lava gases and other pieces of rock erupt?
A volcano is the opening called in the earths crust called through which lava gases and other pieces of rock erupt.
What is any opening in Earths crust through which hot gases rock and melted material erupt?
A volcano.
Why are carbon dioxide water vapor and other greenhouse gases important to life on Earths surface?
They absorb radiant energy emitted by Earths surface
What is the blanket of protective gases that covers the earths surface?
It is called Earth's atmosphere.
What is true about the density of gases as you move farther away from earths surface?
it remains unchanged
Where are most of earths gases found?
Within 8 to 12 KM of Earth's surface
What heats earths atmosphere?
The sun heats the atmosphere. Solar radiation largely passes through the atmosphere and warms the surface of the earth. The earth then radiates heat up into the lower levels of the atmosphere where greenhouse gases warm. The warmed greenhouse gases then continue to radiate heat in all directions warming the atmosphere and again the earth's surface.
What absorbs heat leaving the earths surface?
what a lie it needs to be green houise gases or somthing else \

rocks,gases,and ash

Is the greenhouse effect more pronounced for florists or earths surface?
The greenhouse effect is more pronounced for the earth's surface. Heat rising from the surface is trapped by greenhouse gases. These warm gases heat the air around them as well, also, as the earth' surface again.
What is the substance called that reaches earths surface and is made up of molten rock gases and minerals?
Lava.
