  3. 75% of the Earth’s volcanoes are in this area.

  4. This volcano has gently sloping base, a steep slope at the top, and both explosive and nonexplosive eruptions.

  5. This volcano has gently sloping sides and nonexplosive eruptions.

  6. This volcano has steep slopes and explosive eruptions.

  7. This is an area of persistent volcanic activity.

  8. This type of lava has jagged surfaces. Please do not walk on this.

  9. This lava has a smooth surface.

  10. This forms from underwater eruptions and is very rounded.

  11. This has very sharp edged chunks.

  12. This lava usually comes from shield volcanoes.

  13. This type of pyroclastic material consists of old pieces of the volcano.

  14. This type of pyroclastic material is larger than 64mm and hardens before it hits the ground.

  15. These “little stones” harden before they hit the ground.

  16. This is the smallest type of pyroclastic material. It is made of tiny gas bubbles.

  17. This is the type of pyroclastic material that you see the most in an explosive eruption.

  18. This is the process of building up the Earth’s surface,

  19. This is a process that causes the breakdown of rock.

  20. This is a process that wears rock away into sediment.

  21. This is the process of clearing the land of trees.

  22. Coal mining is an example of this.

  23. Color, luster, and streak are examples of this.

  24. This is the splitting of a mineral along a smooth, flat surface.

  25. This is a scale of 1-10 where 1 is the softest and 10 is the hardest.

  26. A Geiger Counter is a device that measures this.

  27. This is a phenomenon that causes a substance to “glow”.
