Monogenetic Volcano Seminar - UNSOED - May 2024

What is volcano?

• A volcano is a rupture in the crust of a planetary-mass object that allows hot lava, volcanic ash, and gases to escape from a magma chamber below the surface.
• A volcano is a type of bird known for its colorful feathers
• A volcano is a type of rock found in rivers
• A volcano is a type of cloud formation

What is the term used for the molten rock that flows from a volcano?

• magma
• eruption
• ash
• lava

What are monogenetic volcanoes?

• Monogenetic volcanoes are large, complex volcanoes that erupt frequently.
• Monogenetic volcanoes are underwater volcanoes that never erupt.
• Monogenetic volcanoes are dormant volcanoes that never erupt.
• Monogenetic volcanoes are small, simple volcanoes that erupt only once.

Which type of monogenetic volcano is characterized by explosive craters formed by magma-water interaction?

• shield volcano
• caldera volcano
• maar volcano
• stratovolcano

What is the primary eruptive product associated with monogenetic volcanoes?

• Andesitic lava flows
• Obsidian domes
• Rhyolitic lava flows
• Basaltic lava flows

1. 
   Why are monogenetic eruptions challenging to predict?

• Easily controlled with technology
• Sudden occurrence without a clear pattern

• Predictable due to clear signs
• Consistent timing with warnings

Which of the following hazards is associated with monogenetic volcanoes?

• Tsunamis, landslides, and hurricanes
• Earthquakes, tornadoes, and hailstorms
• Droughts, floods, and blizzards
• Lava flows, ash fall, and gas emissions

What influences the behavior of magma in monogenetic volcanoes?

• Temperature of the surrounding environment
• Distance from the Earth's core
• Number of nearby trees
• Composition of the magma, presence of volatiles, rate of magma ascent, and interaction with surrounding rocks

What is a pyroclastic flow?

• A pyroclastic flow is a fast-moving current of hot gas and volcanic matter that flows down the side of a volcano during an eruption.
• A pyroclastic flow is a slow-moving current of cold gas and volcanic matter
• A pyroclastic flow is a type of cloud formation caused by volcanic eruptions
• A pyroclastic flow is a geological term for the process of magma solidifying into rock

1. Why are monogenetic volcanic fields important for understanding regional geology?

• Monogenetic volcanic fields are important for understanding regional geology because they are formed by aliens
• Monogenetic volcanic fields are important for understanding regional geology because they contain hidden treasures
• Monogenetic volcanic fields are important for understanding regional geology because they are made of chocolate
• Monogenetic volcanic fields are important for understanding regional geology because they provide insights into the local geological history, volcanic activity, and magma sources.
