Volcanoes can be classified according to their? |
Morphology: Cinder Cone, Composite, and Shield Volcano. |
|
An area characterized by frequent earthquakes and volcanic eruptions |
Pacific ring of Fire |
|
What is the region beneath the Earth's crust? |
Mantle |
|
An elevated landform with an opening at the top called a "crater" |
Volcano |
|
Semi-molten rock beneath the earth's crust |
Magma |
|
Elongated fracture or crack on the Earth's crust from which lava erupts |
Fissure |
|
Passageway through which magma travels to reach the Earth's surface |
Conduit |
|
Opening where volcanic materials are released |
Vent
|
|
Bowl-shaped depression at the top of the volcano where the vent is located |
crater |
|
the side of a volcano |
flank |
|
The three major types of volcano |
Stratovolcano, Shield Volcano, Cinder cone Volcano |
|
Is formed by highly viscous or thick, slow moving lava. it has steep upper slopes and relaxed lower slopes. Small crater at its summit, and is packed with a large reservoir of magma caused by the heat and pressure from tectonic plate movements. When they explode, an area of the volcano may collapse, forming a larger crater ad depression called a caldera. Most volcanoes in the pacific ring of fire are this type of volcano. |
Stratovolcano |
|
Pulverized rocks, minerals, and volcanic glass |
Ash |
|
Avalanche of hot volcanic ash |
Ash flow |
|
Stream of molten rocks that ooze from an erupting vent |
Lava flow |
|
Horizontal crack with solidified or cooled magma |
Sill |
|
Vertical cracks with solidified or cooled magma |
Dyke |
|
Magma that has been extruded during an eruption |
Lava |
|
Eruption from the side of a volcano |
Flank eruption |
|
Opening of the volcano |
Vent |
|
May have been formed from eruptions thousands of years apart, layered lava and volcanic materials, or composites of more than one vent. During an eruption, lava is spewed out, followed by ash and pyroclastic materials which flow down the sides of the summit. Afterwards, thick lava flows out and traps ash and other materials on the steep slope. Examples of this volcano are Mayon Volcano, Mt. Pinatubo, Mt. Kilimanjaro in africa, Mauna Loa in Hawaii, the highest volcano on earth, Mt Vesuvius in Italy, noted for destroying the ancient city of Pompei, and Mt. Fujiyama in japan |
Stratovolcano |
|
Also called a composite cone volcano |
Stratovolcano |
|
Is formed by loose and fluid lava that flows over each other. Usually low and broad. The lava it expels does not shoot up high in the air in a violent explosion, Instead, lava just flows and runs down the side of it's crater. |
Shield volcano |
|
A cinder cone volcano is also known as? |
Scoria cone |
|
Pockets where new ash fall will collect |
Cinder beds |
|
Bowl -shaped opening at the summit of the cone |
Summit crater |
|
Mounds of lava formed after a volcanic eruption. |
Lava dome |
|
Volcanoes on the ocean floor |
Submarine Volcanoes |
|
Volcanoes that are overlain by glaciers. |
Glacial Volcano |
|
Volcano that exploded in the last 10 000 years |
Active |
|
These are hot bursts of trapped gases that push their way through solid barriers and rapidly into the atmosphere. |
Blasts |
|
Gases that are released by volcanoes |
Water Vapor, Hydrogen Sulfide, Sulfur Dioxide, Hydrogen Chloride, Hydrogen Flouride, Hydrogen, Carbon Dioxide, Methane, Argon, and Helium |
|
Mudlofw or flow of volcanic debris. |
Lahar |
|
Lahar associated with eruption |
Hot lahar |
|
Lahar caused by rainfall |
Cold lahar |
|
Refers to molten rocks that move down the slope of volcanic vents. |
Lava flow |
|
Refers to glowing hot material that moves down the slope of an erupting volcano. |
Pyroclastic flow |
|
These are volcanic materials of gases, ash, rock fragments, and water extruded above the ground. |
Pyroclastic surges |
|
These may consist of combination of pumice, scoria, thick rock fragments, and crystals. |
Tephra falls |
|
Series of sea waves caused by displacement of large volumes of water because of an underwater earthquake or volcanic eruption. |
Tsunami |
|
Cloud of ash that comes out of the crater |
ash plume |
|
Least violent type of eruption |
Hawaiian Eruption |
|
An eruption wherein highly fluid or runny lava flow out of several vents |
Hawaiian |
|
An eruption wherein thick, viscous magma flows around the vent as solid lava and dust are ejected. |
Vulcanian eruption |
|
Most violent and explosive type of eruption |
Plinian |
|
Fluid lava and fire ejected |
