Best Answer

No. Volcanic eruptions can build mountains and form new land. Many occur in remote areas where there is not much to destroy.

What do only the most violent volcanic eruptions feature?

The most violent volcanic eruptions typically feature the rapid expulsion of large amounts of magma and volcanic gases from the vent, resulting in devastating pyroclastic flows, ash clouds, and lahars. These eruptions are often associated with stratovolcanoes or calderas and can cause widespread destruction over a large area.


Are earthquakes the only things that cause volcanic eruptions?

No. Eruptions are caused by magma moving up from the mantle. Earthquakes can be a sign of magma pushing the earth out of its way (causing the earthquake) which lead to the eruptions and potentially tsunamis.


Only the most violent volcanic eruption feature?

Only the most violent volcanic eruptions feature a pyroclastic flow.


Is it True or false volcanic eruptions cause damage only when they are close to the craters rim?

False. Volcanic eruptions can cause damage beyond the crater's rim. Lava flows, pyroclastic flows, ashfall, volcanic gases, and lahars (volcanic mudflows) can all pose hazards and cause damage far beyond the immediate vicinity of the volcano. The extent of damage depends on the size and intensity of the eruption, as well as topography and prevailing wind patterns.

What natural disasters occur along a subduction zone?

Earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanic eruptions are common natural disasters that occur along a subduction zone. The tectonic activity at subduction zones, where one tectonic plate is forced under another, can lead to these types of events, which pose significant risks to nearby coastal communities.


Why aren't there diamond mountains on earth?

Diamonds form at such depths and pressures that they only reach the surface through explosive kimberlite volcanic eruptions which could spread them over a fairly wide region. Kimberlite volcanic eruptions are not known for their mountain building capabilities.


Only Plinian and Pelean volcanic eruptions feature flow?

This statement is incorrect. Plinian and Pelean eruptions are types of explosive volcanic eruptions that do not typically produce lava flows. Instead, they involve the violent ejection of ash, rock fragments, and gases into the atmosphere. Lava flows are more commonly associated with effusive eruptions, such as those of Hawaiian volcanoes.


Does Zimbabwe have volcanic eruptions?

No, Zimbabwe does not have volcanoes or volcanic eruptions. It is not located in a region known for volcanic activity.


Are natural disasters also storms?

No. Only some are. Blizzard, hurricanes and tornadoes are storms, but earthquakes, floods, and volcanic eruptions are not.


Only plinian and pelean volcanic eruptions features what flow?

Pelean volcanic eruptions feature pyroclastic flows, which are fast-moving currents of hot gas, ash, and volcanic rock fragments. Plinian eruptions also produce pyroclastic flows, but they are characterized by massive vertical columns of ash and gas rising high into the atmosphere.
