Different Types of Volcanoes We are learning about different types of volcanoes.

Composite Cone The volcano is built up of alternate layers of LAVA and ASH. They can explode with great violence. Mt St Helens - USA Conelet Dyke Crater Ash layer Lava Layer Flank eruption Lava Flow Crust Pyroclastic Flow

Mount Saint Helens, USA

Shield ( Basic) Cone Shield Volcanoes are enormous features built up only from layers of lava. They produce lots of lava but they tent not to erupt violently. Mauna Loa Hawaii -USA 250 miles 10,000m Composite volcano to scale Layers of LavaLava Flow

We are learning about the location of different rock types in the UK

Chalk and Clay

Limestone

The Tees-Exe line Tees - Exe line

The Tees-Exe line The general pattern is the rock to the SE of the line is soft e.g. chalk and clay. Rock to the NW of the line is harder e.g. Granite.

Describe the distribution of rock types in the British Isles Talk about the pattern of where the different rock types are. Use your planner map or an atlas, locating and naming places.

We are learning about different types of weathering and how they affect different rocks

Do you think this feature is natural or man-made? Is it hard or soft rock? This rock feature was created by weathering try to explain how.

We are learning about different the characteristics and features of granite landscapes
