  3. MagmaReachesEarth’sSurface (pages210–211)

  4. Students will be able to…. Explain what happens when a volcano erupts. Describe the two types of volcanic eruptions. Identify a volcano’s stages of activities.

  5. Students will be able to…. Explain what happens when a volcano erupts.

  6. KeyConcept:Whena volcano erupts,theforceoftheexpanding gases pushes magmafrom the magmachamberthrough the pipe until it flows or explodesout of the vent.

  7. A volcano has a pocket of magma below the surface,called a magmachamber.A long tube, called a pipe,connects the magma chamber to the surface.

  8. Atthetopofapipeisanopeningcalledavent.Magma leaves the volcano through the vent and becomes lava.The area coveredbylava as it pours out of a vent iscalled alavaflow.

  9. As magma nears the surface, pressure on the magmafalls.Dissolved gases in magma start to formbubbles.The bubblestake up more space than the dissolvedgases.The bubblesforce magma out of the vent,likethe bubbles that force warm pop out of a bottle.

  10. Answer the following questions

  11. Magma leaves a volcano through a Magma flows from a magma chamber to the surface through a vent pipe

  12. Circle the letter of the choice that explains why a volcano erupts. a.Dissolved gases in magma form bubbles, forcing the magma out of a vent. b.Magma gets warmer and less dense as it nears the surface, causing the magma to flow out of a pipe. c. Pressure on magma increases as it nears the surface, forcing the magma into a magma chamber.

  15. Students will be able to…. 2. Describe the two types of volcanic eruptions.

  16. Key Concept:Geologists classifyvolcanic eruptionsas quiet or explosive.

  17. When magma pours out of a volcano, it is called avolcanic eruption.An eruption can happen slowly andquietly.Or an eruption can happen all at once with an explosion.How a volcano erupts depends on themagma.

  22. Answer the following questions

  23. What explains whether a volcano has a quiet or explosive eruption? a. how much space there is in the magma chamber b. how much magma there is in the pipe c. how much silica there is in the magma

  24. true or false? Only explosive eruptions do damage. false

  25. Quiet Explosive

  26. Stages of Volcanic Activity (pages 215–216)

  27. Students will be able to…. 3. Identify a volcano’s stages of activities.

  28. Key Concept: Geologists often use the terms active, dormant, or extinct to describe a volcano’s stage of activity.

  29. A volcano is active when it is erupting or showing signs that it will erupt soon.

  30. A volcano is dormant when it is no longer erupting but is likely to erupt again in the future. A dormant volcano may not erupt for thousands of years. But it can become active at any time.

  31. A volcano is extinct when it is no longer likely to erupt, even in the future.

  32. Scientists try to predict when a volcano will erupt. They watch for signs that magma is moving upward.

  33. Scientists often can predict when a volcano will erupt. But they cannot predict what kind of eruption or how strong an eruption it will be.

  34. Answer the following questions

  35. A volcano that is no longer likely to erupt, even in the future, is A volcano that is no longer erupting but is likely to erupt again in the future is extinct dormant

  36. How do scientists try to predict volcanoes? a. by measuring the amount of silica in magma b. by measuring the size of the magma chamber c. by watching for signs that magma is moving upward

  37. true or false? Scientists often can predict when a volcano will erupt true
