Volcanoes By: Zoey Matheny
2
Shield Volcano Lava flows gradually building a wide, gentle sloping mountain! Shield volcanoes rising from hot spot on the ocean floor creating the Hawaiian Islands. Smoke Lava
3
Composite Layers of lava alternate with layers of ash, cinders, and bombs in a composite volcano. Composite volcanoes are tall, cone-shaped mountains in which layers of lava alternate with layers of ash. Composite volcano tubes Lava
4
Cinder Cone The thin, runny lava travels far before cooling solidifying. Central vent Cinder Cone Crater When cinders erupt explosive from volcano vent. they pile up around the vent, forming a cone-shaped hill called a Cinder Cone.
5
Caldera Enormous eruptions may empty the main vent and the magma chamber beneath a volcano. Water The hole is filled with pieces of the volcano that have fallen inward.
6
Hot Springs & Geysers Sometimes, rising hot water and steam becomes trapped underground in a narrow crack. Hot Spring forms when groundwater heated by a nearby body of magma rises to the surface and collects in a natural pool.
7
Lava plateaus: Bonus The thin runny lava travels far before cooling and solidifying. Harden lava Instead of forming mountains, some eruptions of lava form high, level areas.
