How many seismic zones are there in India? How are volcanoes classified according to activity? What is a low-velocity seismic zone? What is seismic stratigraphy? What is seismic sedimentology? How does Earth's solid inner core affect seismic waves?
Volcanoes are classified as dormant, active, and extinct. One of the most active volcanoes today is in Mauna Loa, Hawaii. Is it magma or lava? Well, it’s both! Magma is the liquid rock inside the volcano, and once it spills out of it, it is called lava. Lava will burn everything...
How are volcanoes classified according to activity? What causes Hawaii to have volcanoes? What causes intraplate volcanoes? What damage did Kilauea volcano cause? How big can volcanoes get? How is Yellowstone's supervolcano different from most other volcanoes? What causes shield volcanoes to erupt?
Supervolcanoes are classified as volcanoes that spew out more than a trillion tonnes of material when they erupt equivalent to 30 Krakatoas. Such volcanoes cannot be studied directly as the most recent was Toba in Sumatra aroun...
* "Tephra" and "pyroclastics" are generalized names used for particles of igneous rocks of various sizes that have been ejected from volcanoes. They are classified by size. The terms "ash" and "dust" communicate a specific size of tephra or pyroclastic particles. These are summarized in the...
Tornadoes are classified as weak, strong, and violent. An EF4 and EF5, the most intense tornadoes, can produce wind speeds of 166 mph or more, according to the National Weather Service. Though violent storms only make up 2% of all twisters, they are responsible for about 70% of tornado...
Yet as destructive as volcanoes can be, they pale in comparison to supervolcanoes — colossal geothermal formations capable of ejecting over 240 cubic miles of material in a single eruption. To be classified as a supervolcano, an eruption must register at level 8 on the Volcanic Explosivity Inde...

How are volcanoes formed by plate tectonics? Why do tectonic plates move? How are valleys formed by plate tectonics? How are ocean trenches formed by tectonic plates? How does the Earth's core influence plate tectonics? How can tectonic plate motion cause deformation?
