Volcanoes-place where magma reaches the surface of Earth

CRUST: the solid top layer of the earth, including the continents and the land under the oceans MANTLE: the liquid layer of the earth below the crust MAGMA: hot molten (liquid) rock below the earth’s surface LAVA: hot molten rock that flows from a volcano PLATES: large chunks of the earth’s crust that “float” on top of the mantle VENT: the opening through which volcanic material comes out CRATER: a large hole formed by the explosion or collapse of a volcanic vent LAVA LAKE: a pool of molten lava contained in a vent or crater HOTSPOT: area in the earth’s crust where magma rises and pushes through the surface

Magma Forms wherever temperature & pressure are high enough to melt rock, i.e. the asthenosphere, plate boundaries Less dense than solid rock near it, so moves upward through fractures When magma reaches the surface it is called lava.

What determines the type of eruption? Gases in Magma Water vapor, carbon dioxide, hydrogen, sulfur Amount of gas determines type of eruption Large amount of gas = explosive eruption Silica Content Mafic: low silica, lava runs smooth, quickly Felsic: high silica, lava runs more slowly, explosive, viscous (thick)

Flattened mound that resembles a warrior’s shield Shield Volcanoes Mafic lava =Low silica level Low viscosity lava (thin) High or low levels of gas Flattened mound that resembles a warrior’s shield

Mauna Loa, Hawaii Surtsey, Finland Piton de la Fournaise

Composite Volcanoes Felsic lava = High in silica High viscosity lava (thick) High levels of gas/Highly explosive Cone shaped formed by layers of lava and volcanic fragments (ash, tephra)

Mt. Fuji, Japan Mt. Rainier, Washington Mt. St. Helens, Washington

Cindercones Low silica lava High levels of gas Small - less than 300m high “Fire-fountain” eruptions Made from a pile of rock pieces called tephra

Floreana Island, Galapagos Puu OO, Hawaii Pu'u ka Pele, Hawaii
