7. Mountain that forms from layers of lava and ash Volcano
8. A smaller secondary volcano built on the side of or near the main volcano, but sharing the
same conduit to the magma chamber ___Parasitic Cone_______________
9. Large opening caused by the collapse of the top of a volcano Caldera
10. Ash and cinders blown violently out of volcanoes Tephra

Volcano Hot spot Composite volcano Magma Chamber


Tephra Fumarole Parasitic Cone Cinder cone
Conduit Volcanologist Fissure Caldera
Shield volcano Crater Pahoehoe
AA Pillow lava Lahar

Types of Tephra:

_Lapilli________________ walnut sized rocks


_Cinder_______________ pea sized / gravel sized
_Volcanic Dust_________ smallest particles that come from a volcano
_Bomb_______________ can be up to 4+ feet in diameter
_Volcanic Ash__________ .25 to .5 cm in diameter
Concept Review:

1. Identify each form of volcano and then fill in the chart with the appropriate information
about each form.

Form of Volcano Type of Magma or Shape of Volcano Materials in volcano


Composition
Figure 1: Wide Base; Gentle Hot, Thin Basaltic
Shield Volcano Layers of Lava Slope Lava
Figure 2: Loosely Packed Narrow Base Steep Thick Lava rock
Cinder Cone Cinders Sides fragments
Figure 3: Thick Granitic lava;
Compostie(Strato) Alternating layers of Tall; Snowcapped lots of silica; large
Lava and Tephra Mountain rock fragments

2. What is the relationship between the amount of gases in magma and the explosiveness of a
volcanic eruption? When rocks melt into magma gasses are released. The more gasses
released, the more pressure builds up. The more gasses and the more pressure, the
greater the exlposiveness of the eruption.

3. What are the three places where volcanoes are found. Give an example of each. __Some
volcanoes are found at divergent boundaries and can form volcanic islands (Iceland); Some
volcanoes are found at convergent boundaries (Pacific Ring of Fire, Cascade Mountains);
Lastly, some volcanoes are found at “hot spots” places where the magma comes up through
the crust (Hawaiian Islands)_____

4. What are the three stages of the life of a volcano? _The three stages of the life of a
volcano are: Active (Mt. St. Helens); Dormant (sleeping) (Mt. Reiner) and Extinct (Mt.
Mazama-Crater Lake)_____________________________

5. Describe the activity that will be observed around an active volcano just before it erupts.
Some pre-eruption activity of a volcano are: increase in temperature of the cone;
earthquakes; swelling of the cone; small release of gas; small release of ash; melting of
the snow at the top of the mountain.___
Label the parts of the volcano on the diagram below:
