Different
• Volcanic domes is a solid rock that forms when lava is eruptedfrom a vent.
• If the lava is viscous enough, it will pile up above the vent toform a dome rather than move away as a lava flow.
• The sides of most domes are very steep• Most domes are composed of silica‐rich lavas that have a low
gas content.• lavas contain enough gas to cause explosions within a dome
as it is being formed.

Type of Lava
• It produces Aa lava. Aa lava is sharp and pointy when it solidifies.

Example
• Chaitén Volcano Lava Dome, Chile.• It stands out because Reduced volcanic emissions and clear
skies over southern Chile reveal Chaitén volcano’s new lava dome.
• The dome almost completely fills the caldera left behind after Chaitén’s last eruption, which ended about 9,400 years ago. The bare rocky surface of the dome is brown
• gray ash and tephra cover the landscape to the east (right).• This is an active volcano

How do volcano's decrease global temperatures
• Volcanoes have a minor effect on temperature (sulfur clouds reflect light back into space), and a minor effect on ozone levels.

How can some volcanoes instead of decreasing global temperatures,
increase them?
• The volcano's released heat into the air from the lava explosion.
