	Lava - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Felsic lavas such as rhyolite and dacite are often associated with strombolian eruptions, typically form lava domes and sheeted flows, and are associated with pyroclastic surge deposits and tuffs.
		Lava domes are formed by the extrusion of viscous felsic magma.
		Lava tubes are known from the modern day eruptions of Kīlauea, and significant, extensive lava tubes of Tertiary age are known from North Queensland, Australia, some extending for 15 kilometres.

	Lava dome - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In volcanology, a lava dome is mound-shaped growth resulting from the eruption of high-silica lava (usually rhyolite and/or dacite) from a volcano.
		Lava domes are one of the principal structural features of many stratovolcanoes worldwide.
		Lassen Peak in the northern part of the U.S. state of California is the largest single lava dome in the world and has the distinction of being the only other Cascade volcano besides Mount St. Helens to have erupted (1914-1921) in the 20th Century.

	Daag -- Growth of a Postclimactic Lava Dome
		An andesitic lava dome grew on the floor of the new caldera of Mount Pinatubo between July and October of 1992.
		An andesitic lava dome was extruded onto the north flank of Mount Pinatubo between June 7 and June 12, 1991, preceding the large explosive eruptions of andesite and then dacite on June 12-15.
		The 1992 dome andesite and the mafic inclusion samples are similar in composition, mineral assemblage, and texture to andesite and mafic inclusions from the lava dome that grew in the head of the Maraunot River valley during the week preceding the climactic June 15, 1991, eruption (Pallister and others, this volume).

	HawaiiNews.com: Exploring lava dome eruptions
		Volcanic domes are formed when sticky, high-silica lava piles up around a vent instead of flowing rapidly away, as in the case of low-silica basaltic lava erupted in Hawai`i.
		Erupting domes are commonly associated with fast-moving pyroclastic flows, which form when either blocks of fresh lava break off from the dome and move rapidly downhill or when a lava dome is shattered during strong explosive activity.
		Lava continues to flow through the PKK lava tube from its source on the flank of Pu`u `O`o to the ocean, with scattered surface flows breaking out of the tube.

	Dome collapses triggers pyroclastic flows at Unzen Volcano, Japan (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		Gray pathways spreading from the lava dome atop Unzen Volcano are the deposits of many small pyroclastic flows that originated from dome collapses.
		The lava dome was active between 1991 and 1995.
		Viscous lava began erupting in May 1991 at the summit of Unzen and quickly built a mound-shaped dome atop an older lava dome.

	CVO Website - Lava Domes
		The direct effects of dome eruption include burial or disruption of the preexisting ground surface by the dome itself and burial of adjacent areas by rock debris shed from the dome.
		Most domes are composed of silica-rich lavas that have a lower gas content than do the lavas erupted earlier in the same eruptive sequence; nevertheless, some dome lavas still contain enough gas to cause explosions within a dome as it is being formed.
		Domes at Mount Shasta, Mount St. Helens, Glacier Peak, Mount Hood, and near Lassen Peak have collapsed or exploded to produce hot pyroclastic flows, some extending as far as 20 kilometers from their sources.

	CVO Website - Mount St. Helens - Lava Dome
		The dome at Mount St. Helens is termed a composite dome by scientists, because it represents the net result of many eruptive events, not just one event.
		By the end of October 1986, the volume of the dome and its talus apron was about 74.1x10^6 cubic meters, and the volume of all erupted material (including tephra and debris removed from the dome by explosions and rockfalls) was about 77.1x10^6 cubic meters.
		A dacite dome began to form in the crater of Mount St. Helens on October 18, 1980, 5 months after the catastrophic events of May 18.

	ABC News: Volcano's Lava Dome Partially Collapses
		A massive blast of searing gas has collapsed a portion of Mount Merapi's unstable lava dome, easing pressure that threatened a full-blown eruption, but the volcano still could be deadly.
		The mountain has been venting steam and debris for weeks, but its lava dome swelled after a powerful May 28 earthquake, raising concerns the dome could suddenly collapse, sending scalding gas, rocks and debris hurtling into populated areas.
		But he warned that 250,000 beleaguered villagers near Merapi were not yet in the clear, as a crack in the lava dome's southern foot had widened, threatening to unleash more powerful surges of superheated gas.

	EO Newsroom: New Images - Mount St. Helens
		In the five months between October 4, when Ikonos acquired the bottom image, and March 9, a new lava dome has grown in the crater, the large bowl in the center of these images.
		The fact that new dome was still intact on March 9 is evidence that it was not the source of the recent eruption.
		The U.S. Geological Survey estimates that the new lava dome, combined with deformed glacier ice and the part of the crater floor that the dome is lifting up have a volume of about 50 million cubic yards, which is almost one-half of the volume of the old dome prior to the major eruption in 1986.

		Lava domes are rounded, steep-sided mounds built by very viscous magma, usually either dacite or rhyolite.
		Lava domes are often erupted, however, on the top and sides of stratovolcanoes.
		Although lava domes are built by nonexplosive eruptions of viscous lava, domes can generate deadly pyroclastic flows.

	Excess argon within mineral concentrates from the new dacite lava dome at Mount St Helens volcano
		The lava dome formed by a complex series of lava extrusions, supplemented occasionally by internal inflation of the dome by shallow intrusions of dacite magma into its molten core.
		The stability of this third dome, along with decrease in the frequency of earthquakes and phreatic steam eruptions in the ten years after October 1986, indicate that the volcano, again, may be approaching a period of dormancy.
		The lithic inclusions in the lava dome might be thought to be the contaminant, in which case they might add ‘old’ mafic and non-mafic minerals to the young magma.

		The dynamics of expanding domes of isothermal lava are studied by treating the lava as a viscoplastic material with the Herschel-Bulkley constitutive law.
		Numerical and analytical solutions are derived that explore the effects of yield stress, shear thinning and basal sliding on the dome evolution.
		It is found that it is difficult to unravel the combined effects of shear thinning and yield stress; this may prove important to studies that attempt to infer yield stress from morphology of flowing lava.

	What is a lava dome? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		A lava dome is a very viscous blob of lava that barely can flow out of a vent.
		It is the equivalent of a lava flow, but so thick and pasty that it is barely moving.
		Sometimes gas pressure under the dome can grow so high that explosions occur and the dome is blasted away.
