Technology Definitions
Chinese name: English name of the active volcanoes: active volcano definition: still in eruption or eruption of the current has not yet, but activity is expected to be of volcanic eruptions. Their subjects: Geography (1 subject); geomorphology (2 subjects)
Active volcano (active volcano): eruption and is expected to be re-eruption of the volcano. Those dormant volcano, but even the live eruption is not imminent, but again in the future may also be known as the volcanic eruption of an active volcano. The last eruption whose very long ago, and proved in the foreseeable future volcanic eruption does not occur, or the extinct volcano called off. In general, the only active volcano eruption will occur.
Extinct and active volcanoes
Definition of the development of an active volcano
The criteria to judge a volcano’s “dead” or “live”, and so far does not have a strict and scientific standards. Active volcano
Experience will have had the history or tradition or history of the eruption of volcanic eruption recorded as active volcanoes, but these are 534 volcanoes in the world. However, history or history of each country and region can be very different, some only three or four years, while others are up to three or four years or longer. In those hermit deep in the remote areas, even the active volcano eruption in modern times, it may not be known or no history. For example, 40km west of the Golden Dragon China Jingyu Volcano, in the back some 1600 years ago, an explosive eruption occurred, but so far found no historical record. Obviously, based on historical or historical records of the definition of an active volcano is far from complete and not realistic. So some volcanologists active volcano eruption intervals based on the large and out of the last volcanic eruption time statistics, to propose a certain time constraints, and improved the definition of active volcanoes, namely those in the past 10,000 years, 5,000 years or once in 2000 to a volcanic eruption, known as the active volcano. What is the use of 10,000, the 5000 or 2000, will allow for different countries and different regions of the specific circumstances. Improved definition of the active volcano, still allowing for exceptions, and requires active volcano for a specific evaluation, to provide the existence of underground volcanic activity of the magma chamber system of evidence.
Live and death is relatively
But the volcano’s “dead” or “live” is still relative. Some 10,000 years or more in a long time there has not been an eruption since the “dead” volcano, also may be due to deep tectonic or magmatic activity led to revived the eruption. For example, Wudalianchi Volcano Group in China, most of the volcanic eruption in 100 000 years ago, but which laoheishan volcanoes and forest fires are volcanic eruption in the year 1719-1721 in the formation. Thus, in the volcano below, the existence of the magma system magmatic activity system, a judge on a volcano “dead” or “live” key, how to know the existence of volcanic activity below the magma system? Generally the phenomenon of initial judgments based on the following: (1) there is an active volcano area hydrothermal activity or jet phenomenon; (2) a small volcanic center within the microseismic activity was significantly higher than the peripheral areas; (3) volcanic area where some surface deformation can be observed. The above phenomena are due to volcanic magma systems following specific activities will have to be laid in the volcanic zone Zhang Qi earthquake – the terrain change observation network, and many other geophysical physical, geochemical methods for exploration. This is when the volcano has been identified as dangerous should be carried out after the volcano monitoring and detection of the fundamental.
The concept of an active volcano
According to the above, we can get the general concept of active volcanoes: volcanic eruptions that
That is an eruption or the historical period and had nearly 10,000 years as an active volcano erupting volcano. When the existence of volcanic activity below the magma system or magma chamber, this volcanic eruption was considered dangerous, should be placed in the modern volcano monitoring systems. Volcanic formation involves a series of physical and chemical processes. Crust and upper mantle rocks in a certain temperature and pressure conditions, produced with partial melting of rock separation, melt migrates upward through the pores or cracks, and the gradual accumulation in certain parts of the formation of magma chambers. With the continuous supply of magma, the magma excess pressure in the magma chamber increases. When the case cover to continue the strength enough to prevent upward movement of magma, magma rising to the surface through the weak zone. The way up the volatiles dissolved in magma gradually dissolved to form a bubble, when the volume fraction of bubbles occupy more than 75%, the detention of the bubbles in the liquid rapidly released, resulting in explosive eruptions, gas fell after the release of magma viscosity low flow into turbulent nature. Should the number of low viscosity magma or less volatile, it is only quiet spillway. From partial melting of the eruption process of a series of physical and chemical differences between various forms of volcanic activity.
Eruption
Outline
Volcano erupted to the surface before the process summarized in three stages: the initial rise of magma formation and stage of stage of magma chamber magma to the surface and leave the stage.
Formation and the initial stages of magma rising
Magmatism must have two processes: partial melting and melt separation and parent rock. In fact these two processes likely independent of each other, the separation of melt and rock begin to melt when possible there will be a. Partial melting of the liquid (ie, magmatic) and solid (crystal) coexistence state, temperature, pressure reduction and lower solidus partial melting can be generated. When the partial melting of the mantle plume of material with time, will produce in the flow of liquid and solid separation, resulting in the movement of liquids and even gathering, known as segregation.
Stage of magma chamber
Magma chamber is filling with magma beneath the volcanic region of the crust or upper mantle rocks relatively enriched media where magma. Generally regarded as a similar reservoir rock pores (or cracks) in the high-temperature fluids, generally considered within the mantle plume, magma only 5% of the total volume of -30%. From the local perspective, can be viewed as a collection of internal relative flow of liquid. Magma from the magma melt, volatiles, and the crystal form mixture.
Magma to the surface from the stage
Magma from the magma source region until the rise near the surface of the channel, and the excess pressure in magma chambers, channels and through the formation and crystallization of magma rising and degassing processes. Local shell tensile or tensile – shear stress is greater than the local rock failure strength, they may form sheets or sheets – shear fractures, should the mutual connectivity of these fractures, it can serve as a channel of magma eruption.

Edit this paragraph eruption conditions
Volcanic eruption
Can the formation of a local volcano is mainly the availability of the following conditions: 1. The formation of some melt must be higher to heat (its outer boundary conditions accumulated or generated), or uplift decompression process, or dehydration and reduce the solid phase line; 2. magmatic enrichment in the crust, or magma chambers formed by the position and the depth of neutral buoyancy surface, while the neutral buoyancy depth and surface discontinuities and crustal rheology of the; 3. magma pocket physical and chemical processes, mainly crystalline, volatile and fluid in the sub-quota and the interaction of magma eruption play to promote or inhibit. The existence of crustal magma chambers play interception, alteration mantle magma rose to the role. It is also the formation of explosive volcanic eruption of important conditions. 4. The existence of magma chamber magma could promote the formation of channels, while the tectonic stress field produced by lead is the main reason for the formation of magma channel. 5. Magma rising from magma chambers under pressure after a double driving gradient and buoyancy. [1]

Outline
Looking at the world type of volcanic eruption, its determinants First magma composition, volatile content, temperature and viscosity of volcanic eruption
Such as the basaltic magma with low SiO2 composition, with relatively little volatile, high temperature, low viscosity, so magma mobility, volcanic eruptions are relatively quiet, mostly magma eruption, the lava can form large terraces and shield volcanoes; rhyolitic and andesitic magma rich in SiO2 and volatile, the low temperature viscosity big, poor mobility, so violent volcanic eruptions, huge explosions, a large number of volcanic ash, volcanic bombs ejected, often forming large pyroclastic cone, accompanied by pyroclastic flows and the phenomenon of light-emitting clouds, often causing disastrous. The second determining factor is the increase in channel characteristics of underground magma, if the magma in the magma chamber along the long fault line emission surface, which form a fissure eruption; If formed along the two faults cross-channel tube-like upwelling, in under the pressure of magma, the center will produce violent eruptions. The third determining factor is the tectonic setting of magma ejected, to see on land or underwater; is a ridge or plate; or in island arc collision zone, etc.. Volcano tectonic environment in which different types of volcanic eruptions are also very different characteristics.
Pan-flow eruption of basalt
This eruption such as India’s Deccan Plateau, North America’s Columbia Plateau. They are the direction of magma along a major fault (fracture) or increased fracture group, erupted to the surface, some long, narrow channel from the full on spray; some volcanic eruption was a zigzag arrangement, respectively, but is connected to a wall down shaped channel, so called “crack eruption.” Basalt eruption in the main flow direction nearly parallel to the thickness and composition more stable, production-like flat to lava is more common, often forming lava plateau. Because of the great basalt flows, lava ejected large, rare outbreak phase, similar in terrain, flat areas are flooded everywhere overspill of wide distribution, so called “pan-flow basalt eruption.” 1783 Iceland’s Laki volcanic eruption, 25km from long fissures in the lava and ejected about 12km3 3km3 spit of volcanic debris objects, covering an area of 565km2. William Yu Arizona valley, from the 120m-wide crack in the one-time outflow of lava, forming 14 × 22km2 the plateau, the thickness of up to 240m. China’s Guizhou, Yunnan, Sichuan, Permian basalt (260000km2) and Hebei Hannuoba (1700km2) are also pan-flow basalt eruption.
Hawaiian eruption
Is a hot spot volcanoes, the United States, Hawaii, represented, and there is little explosion, often from the top crater, and Hill, a considerable number of cracks overflow basaltic lava flows, magma viscosity, mobility, performance is relatively quiet overflow, the gas emission can be more or less. As the eruption of magma under higher static pressure and the expansion of the role of the bubble, when it reaches the surface, the formation of lava fountains, lava was escaping gas driven up to 300m or more fountain was gushing mostly basaltic lava and can also be andesitic lava, also a small number of volcanic slag and ash. This type of eruption, lava often repeated overflow, but there are many cracks as the channel, form a relatively flat lava flowing lava dome. For example, in 1924 Jilaweie and 1975 Mauna Loa eruption is a typical Hawaiian-style eruptions. This type of eruption basically no casualties, but the village can be destroyed farmland, causing damage to property.
Stone Boley-type eruption
From the early 20th century Italian. The most typical of Italy’s Stone boli volcano, located in island of Sicily Fengshen, frequent volcanic eruptions, from ancient times to be known as “beacon of the Mediterranean”, the eruption is characterized by more or less regular, moderate-intensity eruption , emitting hot lava, the viscosity Bixiaweiyi type is bigger, with a white vapor cloud. The lava crater mild sclerosis, mainly massive lava from basaltic, andesitic composition of the rock composed of lava flows thick and short, there are a few for the rope-like, every half hour gas from escaping. This volcanic rhythm overflowing with white-hot cinder, lapilli and volcanic bombs, explosions more moderate, many volcanic crater debris would be back once again to be ejected, the other fell to the formation of the volcanic cone slope and roll into the sea. If Stone boli volcano (Italy), Palikuting volcano (Mexico), Vesuvius (Italy), Ava Chin volcanoes, volcanic grams remain Qi Fu (the former Soviet Union), has Stone Boley-type eruption characteristics.
Vulcano-type eruption
Vulcano Island in the Mediterranean near Sicily. This type of eruption than the Stone Boley style lava more viscous, was like lava, eruptions are more violent. When not erupting volcano on the consolidation of thick shell, the shell of gas in the consolidation under the aggregation, so that the upper part of the lava column gas saturation. When the pressure increases, the occurrence of violent explosions, sometimes enough to destroy part of the volcanic cone, so that obstructions were blasted, some debris and lava formed a “crust-like volcanic bombs” and the slag is ejected together, accompanied with amount of volcanic ash, “cauliflower-like” eruption cloud. When the crater of “obstructions” are after the emission of lava flows from the volcano have or volcanic cone cracks in the side edge of the emission.
Pelee eruption
Name originated in the West Indies, Martinique pelee volcanic eruption of 1902, when the destroyed city of Saint-Pierre, the death toll over 30,000. Such eruptions produce high-viscosity magma, the outbreak of especially strong, the most obvious feature is to produce hot cloud of ash, which is a high-temperature gas, full of hot volcanic ash particles as emulsion activity, density, When it moves down along the slope, enough to produce the same effect as the hurricane. In pelee eruption, the upward escape of volcanic gases is often blocked the mouth of the lava, the pressure increases when the explosion occurred as the level emitted from the bottle under the direction of the burst of wind. High ash content of the lava was driven out of gas outflow, but apart from the fire out of thick lava mouth, other parts of the phenomenon is no outflow of lava. The history of the volcanic eruption occurred pelee more: 1835 Forsyth Aquinas, 1883, Krakatau, 1902 Montsoufriere, 1912 Katmai, 1951 Lamington volcano ,1955-1956 Do Azmi Yang, 1968 and the 1982 Mayon Volcano eruption el chichon this type are considered.
Plinian
Magma viscosity, the outbreak of intense volcanic detritus usually more than 90%, of which rock debris -25%, 10%, jet to rhyolitic and trachytic pumice, volcanic ash-based, distributed over wide, with small amount of lava flows or ash flows. Since the outbreak of a large number of strong and magma material thrown out, often form a cone roof collapsed caldera. This eruption often are: Clear Channel volcano – magma bubble – burst violently rocks and volcanic ash floating – channel wall of volcanic stone fell and blocked access, the role of such repeated to form a complex volcanic edifice. Mount Vesuvius erupted in 79 AD is a typical Plinian, with the eruption of large-scale landing pumice, volcanic cinder and ash. Java volcano emitted to land downwind from the crater 13km of Pompeii, for an average of 7m thick pumice layer buried. Japan between 1783 volcanic activity in the shallow pumice layer is also down, while a large eruption in the volcanic debris flow and lava flow ejected. May 18, 1980 the United States is Pliny St. Helens eruption style, when the outbreak of the formation of hydrothermal – magmatic explosion.
Ultra-vulcano-type eruption
And water vapor, like the outbreak, almost no explosive eruption of magma material. Some said the super-volcano (Japan bandai-san)-type outbreak. As the only eruptions no lava eruption, so eruptions eruption in the cooling mode, and occasionally emitting hot state. Characterized by a large number of basement volcanic debris, sometimes up to 75% -100%. Emit super-vulcano-type changes in the physical volume of the size of large rocks to the volcanic ash from the giant form both. Debris are usually angular and sharp edges and corners like no volcanic bombs and slag.
Su Tese eruption
1963-1967, the southern coastal waters of Iceland’s volcanic eruption in a non-stop Su Tese volcanic island. Volcanic activity during the first half, in a shallow submarine volcano in eruption characterized by recurrent outbreaks, when basaltic magma and seawater exposure Shiyou exploded, producing a large number of fine material (volcanic ash), that the magma – water vapor , water vapor – the type of magma erupted and the land of Stone Boley different type eruption. The classification above is not the most perfect, the actual investigation revealed that even the same type of eruption may occur in different types of volcanism, while with a volcano in its own activities in the eruption may produce different types, even sometimes in the same eruption also there are different forms of volcanic activity. As to type and named Stone Stone Boley Boley volcano-type eruption occurred a few Vulcano; named Hawaiian eruption of Kilauea and Mauna Loa, are observed at different times from the Stone Boley type to the super-vulcano-type eruption.

Volcanic eruption is most at risk of explosive eruption, the biggest disaster was the eruption column, which volcanic eruption
Accustomed to the total mass of ejecta and eruption column height to measure, often called volcanic eruptions index VEI (Volcanic Explosivity Index). Outbreak of the index and the volcanic eruption VEI energy E (erg) the relationship between the (S De la Cruz-Reyna, 1996) as: lg E = 0.78 MVEI + 21.02 last eruption of VEI = 7 is in the 1815 Tambora, erupted like this ( VEI = 7) approximately one thousand years. Changbai Mountain in 1199 eruption, ash 2-5 cm in Hokkaido, Japan, estimated eruption volume 120km3, VEI = 7, equivalent to a 9.8 earthquake. The last eruption of VEI = 6 is the June 1991 eruption Pena Figure stroke, DVI volcanic dust screen index 1000. VEI = 6 and then the last eruption was in 1883, Krakatoa, erupted roughly like this once in a century. VEI = 5, such as Vesuvius eruption in 79 AD eruption (VEI = 5) 10 – three years once. VEI = 4 eruptions clouds Xianyueshan 1991 eruption (VEI = 4) 3-5 years time. 1668-1702 eruption of Changbai Mountain 140 km outside the volcanic ash 3-5 cm, estimated eruption volume 1km3, strength of VEI = 4 ~ 5, equivalent to a 8.5 earthquake.

The main active volcanoes
Current scientific findings suggest that in many planets and satellites are volcanic. In the solar system now have conclusive evidence that there is still volcanic activity of Earth and Jupiter’s satellite Aiou (Io). Volcanic activity on Earth about 50 times each year. However, most of them are in the seabed and inaccessible mountains, and therefore impact on the human sense of the little volcanic activity. Earth 16 was selected as the “Decade Volcano” The main volcano observation plan are: the Russian Kamchatka Peninsula, the Asian baby Cinschi – 科里亚斯基 volcanic group (Avachinsk-Koryaksky) Mexico’s Colima volcano in Italy Colombia’s Galeras volcano Mt Etna Hawaii’s Mauna Loa volcano Mount Merapi in Indonesia Democratic Republic of Congo Mount Nyiragongo Mount Rainier in Washington’s cherry Kagoshima Prefecture, Japan volcanic island volcano in Guatemala 圣塔马利亚 / Sandia ancient volcanoes (Santamaria / Santiaguito) Greece Santorini volcano in the Philippines Taal volcano (Taal) Canary Islands, Spain Ted peak (Teide Peak) Papua New Guinea The Ural Wang volcano (Ulawun) Japan’s Unzen volcano Vesuvius, Italy
