They are considered to be a type of diatreme . Volcanic pipes are composed of a deep, narrow cone of solidified magma described as carrot shaped , and are usually largely composed of one of two characteristic rock types &mdash kimberlite or lamproite . These rocks reflect the composition of the volcanoes deep magma sources, where the Earth is rich in magnesium . Volcanic pipes are relatively rare. They are well known as the primary source of diamond s, and are mined for this purpose. Formation Volcanic pipes form as the result of violent eruptions of deep origin volcanoes. These volcanoes originate at least three times as deep as most other volcanoes, and the resulting magma that is pushed toward the surface is high in magnesium and Volatiles volatile compounds such as water and carbon dioxide . As the body of magma rises toward the surface, the volatile compounds phase transformation transform to gas gaseous phase as pressure is reduced with decreasing depth. This sudden expansion propels the magma upward at rapid speeds, resulting in a shallow supersonic eruption.

Some volcanic craters may fill either fully or partially with rain and or melted snow, forming a crater lake . Breached craters have a much lower rim on one side than the rest. A crater may be breached during an eruption, either by explosions or by lava, or through later erosion. Some volcanoes, such as maar s, consist of a crater alone, with scarcely any mountain at all.

Volcanic Sprint is a 2007 documentary produced by Steve Dorst and Dan Evans about a grueling mountain race in Africa and the mostly local competitors who compete against tough odds to overcome dire poverty. Synopsis Volcanic Sprint is a documentary film about the Mount Cameroon Race of Hope , which is located in the Southwest Province of Cameroon , in the city of Buea . The film focuses on five main competitors Sarah Etonge , Catherine Ngwang, Max Mwambo, Dominique Tedjojem, and Bart van Doorne. During the first half of the film, it cuts between footage of the athletes with their families, at work, and training. The second half of the film covers the race itself, starting at the Molyko Sport Complex, going up to the summit of Mount Cameroon, and back down again.

Blocks are formed from material from previous eruptions or from Country rock geology country rock and are therefore mostly accessory or accidental in origin. Blocks also occur due to the impact and breakage of volcanic bombs a bomb is a block with streamlined appearance, often expelled in a molten state . Bombs can also occur due to the disruption of the crust of a lava dome that has formed up or over a vent during an eruption. Features Blocks are nearly always angular to sub angular and roughly equidimensional. If the parent rock is flow foliated lava, sedimentary material or schistose metamorphic rocks, the blocks may have a plate like or slab like form. In other cases, blocks derived from great depths may resemble polished water worn pebbles and are cobbled due to fluidisation and upwards transport. Blocks can be enormous and may be transported great distances from the volcanic vent .
