Volcanic Environments Match up the volcano with it’s location 3 4 1 5 2 A D B C E Source images wikipedia / USGS

Volcanic Environments 3 4 1 2 Submarine volcano erupting under the ocean at the Mid Atlantic ridge, a tensional (divergent) plate margin. A

Volcanic Environments 3 4 1 2 Composite cone volcano forming part of an island arc at a compressional margin where two oceanic plates meet and one is subducted under the other. B

Volcanic Environments 3 4 1 2 Composite (stratovolcano) volcano found at a compressional margin where an oceanic plate is subducted beneath a continental plate. Lava is acidic and viscous. C

Volcanic Environments 3 4 1 2 Shield volcano formed at a hotspot in the earth’s crust. Lava is basic and runny. Eruption is non-violent. D

Volcanic Environments Match up the volcano with it’s location 3 4 1 5 2 Caldera formed by collapse of magma chamber. Crater Lake is an example. Super volcanoes are very large calderas. E Source images wikipedia / USGS

Standards Correlations for Earth Science: Volcanoes State: Ohio Subject: Science Grade: 6 OH.1. - Describe the processes that contribute to the continuous changing of Earth's surface (e.g., earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, erosion, mountain building and lithospheric plate movements). 1.E. - Describe the processes that contribute to the continuous changing of Earth's surface (e.g., earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, erosion, mountain building and lithospheric plate movements). Grade: 8 OH.1. - Grade Level Indicator: Earth Systems: Describe the interior structure of Earth and Earth's crust as divided into tectonic plates riding on top of the slow moving currents of magma in the mantle. 1.9. - Grade Level Indicator: Earth Systems: Describe the interior structure of Earth and Earth's crust as divided into tectonic plates riding on top of the slow moving currents of magma in the mantle. 1.11. - Grade Level Indicator: Earth Systems: Use models to analyze the size and shape of Earth, its surface and its interior (e.g., globes, topographic maps, satellite images).
