Volcanoes can be classified according to their?

Morphology: Cinder Cone, Composite, and Shield Volcano.

Activity: Active, Inactive, Extinct

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

Hawaiian Eruption

Named after Stromboli volcano in Sicily

Strombolian Eruption

Country that has the most number of active volcanoes

Indonesia

78%

What is the amount of concentration of oxygen in the atmosphere?

Chloroflourocarbons

The fraction of solar energy reflected back to space

Albedo effect

Long-term average increase in Global Temprature
