FACTORS AFFECTING Volcano Morphology


Morphology of a volcano depends on several factors:
1. Virulence eruption.
Enormity of the influence of volcanic eruptions in such a way that the eruption was strong and would mencuramkan volcanic eruptions, while the massive eruption resulted in the destruction of shape

2. The frequency of eruptions.
If the eruptions took place with the distance of time, then the next eruption or lava gases will find another way. As a result of this incident will form the mouth of the crater is more complicated

3. The nature of the magma.


4. Pressure flow of lava flows that rise above.
Pressure flow of lava flows that rises to the top, will gradually undermine and destroy the crater wall.
5. Vukanisme activities.
Activities such as the formation of the caldera volcanism would interfere with the development of a volcano.
6. The existence of spatter cones (spatter cone).
The existence of spatter cones, a cone that contains steep, composed of loose rock material deposited on top of one of the pipes are generally berkomposisi basalan crater around the end of the lava flows

7. Displacement of the center of the volcano (lava tube).
Migration of volcanic activity center (lava tube), is closely related to local tectonic activity.

8. The existence of caves in the area of lava flows
