Volcanoes

Volcanoes. Types of volcanoes. 1. Shield Volcano Rounded, gentle slopes and large bases Lava is usually fluid and flows easily Ex. Hawiian Islands, Kilauea, Manua Loa. 2. Cinder Cone Volcano Steepest sloped volcano Lava is thick with gas trapped inside Eruptions are usually violent

Presentation Transcript

  1. Volcanoes

  2. Types of volcanoes • 1. Shield Volcano • Rounded, gentle slopes and large bases • Lava is usually fluid and flows easily • Ex. Hawiian Islands, Kilauea, Manua Loa

  3. 2. Cinder Cone Volcano • Steepest sloped volcano • Lava is thick with gas trapped inside • Eruptions are usually violent • Ex. Sunset Crater, Arizona

  4. 3. Composite Volcano (stratovolcano) • Produced when there is a series of alternating eruptions • Consists of layers of ash, and cinders alternating with lava • Usually formed on continental plates • Ex. Mt. St Helens, Mt Fuji, Japan

  5. Video clip

  6. Volcano Anatomy

  7. Pahoehoe Lava

  8. AA Lava

  9. Mt Vesuvius clip

  10. The Hawaiian Islands were created in this way? • sea floor spreading • convergent boundaries • hot spots • I don’t know

  11. What causes the hot molten material in convection currents to rise? • differences in density • differences in composition • differences in gravity • I don’t know

  12. Where would you expect to find new crust being created? • convergent boundary • divergent boundary • transform boundary • I don’t know

  13. Flight cancellations, caused by volcanic ash from Iceland, are a result of which boundary type? • convergent • divergent • transform • I don’t know

  14. What causes the hot molten material in convection currents to rise? • differences in density • differences in composition • differences in gravity • I don’t know

  15. Volcanoes that make up the Ring of Fire are formed by; • divergent boundaries • hot spots • subduction zones • I don’t know

  16. What type of volcano is produced by alternating eruptions of cinder and lava; • shield • cinder • composite • I don’t know

  17. The Hawaiian Islands are an example of what type of volcano? • shield • cinder • composite • I don’t know
