In splash erosion, the impact of a falling raindrop creates a small crater in the soil, ejecting soil particles. The distance these soil particles travel can be as much as 0.6 m (two feet) vertically and 1.5 m (five feet) horizontally on level ground.
Io is composed primarily of rocky material with very little iron. Io is located within an intense radiation belt of electrons and ions trapped in Jupiter's magnetic field. As the magnetosphere rotates with Jupiter, it sweeps past Io and strips away about 1,000 kilograms (1 ton) of material per second.o is composed primarily of rocky material with very little iron.

As magma gets closer to the surface and cools, it begins to crystallize minerals like olivine and form bubbles of volcanic gases.When lava erupts it is made up of a slush of crystals, liquid, and bubbles.The liquid âfreezesâ to form volcanic glass. Chemically lava is made of the elements silicon, oxygen, aluminum, iron, magnesium, calcium, sodium, potassium, phosphorus, and titanium (plus other elements in very small concentrations.hoto by Steve Mattox.
