Rising Ash Plume Volcano Power Cooling of Erupted Material Total energy = movement of volcanic material + energy lost due to cooling of ejected material Crust Movement of Molten Material Mantle
Movement of Volcanic Material • Change in potential energy of lava and ash • Elava = m g h • m = 1.16x1013 kg/yr • g = 9.8 m/s2 • h = 35 km for continental, 10 km for oceanic • 3 oceanic eruptions per continental • Plava= 3.15*1010W Ash Lava Crust Mantle
Movement of Volcanic Material • Change in potential energy of lava and ash • Eash = m g h • m = 6.5*1010kg/yr • g = 9.8 m/s2 • h = 45 km • Pash= 9.1 *108 W • Ptotalmaterial = 3.25 *1010W Ash Lava Crust Mantle
Heat released and total energy • m= (Volume of Lava= 4x109 m3/yr)*(Density of Lava=2.9x103 kg/m3) = 1.16x1013 kg/yr • c= 1700 J/ kg °C • T= 1200°C - 100°C = 1100°C • L= 560 J/g • P= 7.07 x 1011 Watts • P= Plava + Pash+ PQ =7.40 x 1011 Watts Ash Lava Crust Mantle
