Chapter 18 - Volcanoes 18.1 Volcanism
4
Volcanism Describes all processes associated with the discharge of magma, hot fluids, and gases http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://ww w.kidsgeo.com/images/volcanicim.jpg&imgrefurl= http://www.kidsgeo.com/geology-for-kids/0049- volcanism.php&h=200&w=300&sz=10&hl=en&st art=5&tbnid=2qhJLJRLrxKp3M:&tbnh=77&tbnw =116&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dvolcanism%26gbv %3D2%26hl%3Den
5
Magma Slushy mixture of molten rock, mineral crystals, and gases Lava = magma that reaches the surface http://www.stmarys.ca/conted/webcourses/GEO /GEO99/pubigneous/liquidlava.jpg
6
Volcanoes Distribution of volcanoes is not random Most from at Plate Boundaries Majority are at convergent and divergent boundaries
7
Convergent Volcanism Occur at subduction zones Oceanic plate descends into mantle Magma moves upward Mixes with rocks, minerals, and sediment Form explosive volcanoes
8
Subduction Zone
9
Two Major Belts of Convergent Volcanoes Circum-Pacific Belt Mediterranean Belt http://survivoralert.com/images/platesAndVolcanoes.gif
10
Divergent Volcanism Occurs where plates are moving away from each other New floor forms as magma rises Non-explosive, Large amounts of lava Mostly underwater volcanoes
12
Hot Spots Unusually hot regions of mantle where high- temperature plumes of magma rise to the surface Ex: Hawaiian islands Rate of plate movement can be calculated from position of volcanoes
13
Hot Spot Formation Hot spot remained stationary but Pacific plate slowly moved northwest Left trail of islands
14
Flood Basalts Non-viscous lava that flows through surface of Earth out of cracks called fissures http://www.fas.org/irp/imint/docs/rst/Sect17/lipmap2.gif
15
Notes 18.1 B Continue “Volcanoes”
16
Anatomy of Volcano Conduit = tubelike structures through which lava flows Vent = opening where lava reaches surfae Lava cools and solidifies Over time it accumulates to form a volcano
17
Anatomy of Volcano Crater = bowl-shaped depression at top of volcano Calderas = large depressions formed when magma chamber is emptied http://www.cpluhna.nau.edu/images/wupatk1.jpg

19
Types of Volcanoes Shield Cinder cone Composite/Stratovolcano
20
Shield Volcanoes Broad, gently sloping sides Circular base Formed as layers of lava accumulate from non- explosive eruptions
21
Shield Volcano http://www.dkimages.com/discover/previews/793/51 03249.JPG http://vulcan.wr.usgs.gov/Imgs/Jpg/Hawaii/Ima ges/MaunaLoa79_mauna_loa_shield_volcano_05 -79_med.jpg
22
Mauna Loa, Hawaii Shield Volcano
23
Cinder Cone Volcanoes Steep slopes, generally small Form as small pieces of magma are ejected into the air Pieces = tephra – pile around vent
24
Cinder Cone http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.cotf.edu/ ete/images/modules/volcanoes/typesa.GIF&imgrefurl=http://w ww.cotf.edu/ete/modules/volcanoes/vtypesvolcan1.html&h=236 &w=265&sz=13&hl=en&start=4&tbnid=1cbnv3DoRKQHNM:&tb nh=100&tbnw=112&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dcinder%2Bcone% 2Bvolcano%26gbv%3D2%26hl%3Den http://192.107.108.56/portfolios/m/m uscara_j/toolsvis/images/colorcinderc one2.jpg
25
Composite Volcanoes Cone-shaped with concave sides, much bigger than Cinder Cone Formed of layers of hardened chucks from violent erupts alternative with layers of lava oozing down slope
