A Cinder Cone volcano looks like this.

What is a steep, cone shaped dome? T/F: Cinder cones rarely exceed 1000 feet in height Answer is under here True. Except for a rare one in Mexico in the mid-1940’s, which was 1200 feet tall and just popped up out of nowhere, most never exceed 1000 feet in height. Go to this link and you can see a picture of it is you scroll down a bit: http://pubs.usgs.gov/gip/volc/types.html

Stratovolcanoes are also known as ______.

What is a Composite Volcano?

The tallest type of volcano, with a broad, flattened dome is this type:

Which shield volcano in Hawaii is the tallest in the world? What is Shield? Which shield volcano in Hawaii is the tallest in the world? If you go to this link, you can find the answer and see that there are a bunch of shield volcanoes in Oregon, California, and Washington http://vulcan.wr.usgs.gov/Glossary/ShieldVolcano/description_shield_volcano.html Answer is under here Mauna Kea is the tallest shield volcano in the world, Mauna Loa is the biggest one

Krakatoa was located here. (Country)

Why is Krakatoa a notable volcano? What is Indonesia? Why is Krakatoa a notable volcano? Answer is under here The huge explosion (blast) that was heard nearly around the world

All of these volcanoes can have heavy metals (beyond iron) in them, just like you do. Where did those heavy metals come from?

Meteors that hit the earth as meteorites. Where did the meteors come from? Answer is under here Supernovas - which are large stars that explode.

Mount Shasta is here.

What is California? Since Vesuvius is big, but in not on top of a hot spot, it is most likely a ____ volcano Answer is under here Composite/Stratovolcano

Yellowstone, with its monstrous caldera, is an example of this type of volcano?

Supervolcano! It is not a shield or composite volcano (since there is not structure above the ground), just a giant caldera for a hot spot. Use the last sheet “How big are volcanic eruptions” in your packet to decide what it should really be called! [The major features of the caldera measure about 34 miles (55 km) by 45 miles (72 km)]

These are the three main types of volcanoes, in order by their normal average sizes.

What is cinder cone, composite, and shield?

True or False? Volcanic ash is dense, but fairly light in weight, and easily blown about, like in the movie Dante’s Peak.

What is False? Volcanic ash is dense and fairly heavy in weight. How would the volcanic ash interfere with plane engines, our lungs, and car engines? Answer is under here Ash blocks air (oxygen) from getting in

Which of the following is not true in all volcanoes Which of the following is not true in all volcanoes? All volcanoes have magma All volcanoes can have ash All volcanoes have gasses All volcanoes have side vents

What is “All volcanoes have side vents?” Make sure that the other 3 answers are in the middle of your Venn Diagram!

True or false? If carbon dioxide gas is being emitted from a volcano through vents, there is a volcanic eruption coming.

What is False? Not always an eruption coming if gas is coming out. Yellowstone vents gases all the time. Still the release of gases may be the start of something! What is a more likely indication of a volcano getting ready to blow up? Answer is under here More seismic activity (earthquakes)

What are the five ways a volcano can kill you?

What is Pyroclastic Flow, Tsunami, Landslide, Lahar, and Gas. And then you might just ________ to death. Starve Answer is under here

These 5 U.S. states have volcanoes in them

Answers vary – use your “Volcanoes in the US” worksheet!

Which volcanoes go “pop,” and which do not?

Shield = more “gentle” Cinder = small “pop” Stratovolcano = big “pop”

This is another name for a stratovolcano

Composite Volcano

This is the substance that makes volcanoes from continental crust tend to be more explosive than those from oceanic crust:

What is silica

What is a hole in a volcanic area from which hot smoke and gases escape.

What is a Fumerole?

Pyroclastic Flow is made of ____,____, and ____.

What is flaming hot volcanic gas, ash, and rock?

Define Pyro and define clast

Pyro: Fire Clast: fragment

What is the relationship between a magma chamber, a conduit, and a vent? Also, define each term.

What is the system in which magma comes out of a volcano through vents? Definitions: Magma chamber: The chamber in the volcano that holds the magma Conduit: The channel that the magma travels to the vent in. Vent: The holes in the sides or top of the volcano that release magma and gasses.

T/F Silica increases both the density and the viscosity of magma

False – it increases the viscosity (stickiness/thickness) of magma, but not the density (how much mass in in a certain volume of magma)

Explain the differences between casts and molds

CASTS have the 3-dimensional shape of the original object CASTS have the 3-dimensional shape of the original object. MOLDS have the outline of the original object and can be filled with material to make a copy of the original object
