5
Why do volcanoes erupt? Hot, melted rock (magma) deep within the earth becomes lighter as it heats up., it rises until it pushes to the surface of the earth. A volcanic eruption occurs!
6
Melted rock that erupts from a volcano is called . . .
A) magma B) lava C) glupacose D) molten rock

Where do volcanoes erupt?
A) In the middle of the earth’s plates, hotspots. B) Near the edges of the earth’s plates. C) Subduction and rift zones. D) All of the above.

Why do volcanoes grow? A) Repeated eruptions
B) There are various types of volcanoes and each forms differently C) Volcanoes were formed when the earth was formed and haven’t changed much since then. D) Both A and B

14
A shield volcano is formed when
Great masses of lava slowly ooze out from an opening in the earth’s crust, forming a broad, gentle slope. Lava, huge rocks, cinders and ash explode high into the air forming a steep cone up to 35 degrees. Formed by quiet and explosive eruptions. Concave formation in the earth’s crust.

19
A composite cone forms when
Great masses of lava slowly ooze out from an opening in the earth’s crust, forming a broad, gentle slope. Lava, huge rocks, cinders and ash explode high into the air forming a steep cone up to 35 degrees. Formed by both quiet and explosive eruptions. Concave formation in the earth’s crust.

Dormant volcanoes No activity recorded in history.
Have erupted in recent history. Currently erupting. Show signs of activity, but have not erupted in recent history. It is “sleeping.”
