2. Volcano Articles (20 minutes)
Title
“Dictionary”
Find the “dictionary” section at the end of the article. Write all words and definitions on your sheet.
Main Idea (in your own words)
2 details
Each detail should include one piece of evidence/fact/statistic/quote

3. Volcanoes-place where magma reaches the surface of Earth

4. 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

5. Virtual Volcano:

7. 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.

8. 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)

12. 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

13. Mauna Loa, Hawaii
Surtsey, Finland
Piton de la Fournaise

14. 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)

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

16. 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

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