6
Volcanoes and Earth’s Moving Plates
7
What are volcanoes? - openings in Earth’s surface
- mountains formed by lava & volcanic ash - most are dormant - Mt. St. Helens is the largest in North America - Kilauea, Hawaii is the most active in the world - more than 600 are active
8
- may cause lung disease
Effects of Eruptions - collapsed buildings - blocked roads - may cause lung disease in people and animals
9
How do volcanoes form? Heat and pressure causes rock to melt and form magma 2. Magma is less dense than other rock and is forced upward 3. After thousands/millions of years it reaches Earth’s surface and flows out through a vent 4. Steep wall around the vent is the crater
10
Where do volcanoes occur?
11
1. Divergent Boundaries where plates move apart - form long deep cracks (rifts) ex. Mid-Atlantic Ridge formed Iceland
12
2. Convergent Boundaries
13
ex. Mount St. Helens in the Cascade Range
plates move together ex. Pacific Ring Of Fire ex. Mount St. Helens in the Cascade Range
15
Mt St. Helens
16
3. Hot Spots area at the boundary between Earth’s mantle and core that is hotter than other areas magma is forced upward towards the crust ex. Hawaiian Islands
18
Let's Review! gases ash lava lava flows pyroclastic flows falling ash
A volcano is an opening in Earth’s surface that erupts ________, ________, and ________. Direct effects of volcanic eruptions, can be caused by ______________, ______________, and ______________. Volcanic eruptions also produce indirect effects, such as ________. Volcanoes form when magma is forced up and flows onto Earth’s surface as ________. A ________ is a steep-walled depression around a volcano’s vent. Volcanoes form when one plate ________ beneath another plate, where two plates are moving ________, and at ________. gases ash lava lava flows pyroclastic flows falling ash acid rain Let's Review! lava crater sinks apart hot spots

Students will learn to list three forms of volcanoes.
6.2: Types of Volcanoes Objectives: Students will learn to explain how the explosiveness of a volcanic eruption is related to the silica and water vapor content of its magma. Students will learn to list three forms of volcanoes.
22
Mount St. Helens – sequence of eruptions
23
What controls eruptions?
1. amount of water vapor and other gases trapped in the magma 2. amount of silica present in the magma
24
3 Types of Eruptions Exist:
1. Quiet 2. Explosive/Violent 3. Quiet/Explosive
25
basaltic magma contains less silica and is very fluid
1. Quiet basaltic magma contains less silica and is very fluid example: Kilauea
26
2. Explosive/Violent granitic magma contains a lot of silica, is very thick, and gets trapped in vents causing pressure has a high water content
27
Quiet/Explosive - Andesitic magma is more silica rich than basaltic magma, but less silica rich than granitic magma - Because of a higher silica content than basaltic, these volcanoes erupt more violently than basaltic magmas
28
Forms of Volcanoes
29
- broad with gently sloping sides
Shield Volcano!!! - quiet eruption - basaltic lava - broad with gently sloping sides - ex. Hawaiian Islands
35
- throws tephra in the air
Cinder Cone Volcano!!! explosive - throws tephra in the air - steeps sides
40
Composite Volcano!!! Sometimes called a Stratovolcano
Varies between quiet and violent Tephra and lava layers are repeated over and over
43
Mt. Fuji, Japan
44
Mt. Rainier, Washington
46
Let's Review... water vapor eruption silica silica rich silica poor
The amount of _____________ and other gases control the type of __________ and the amount of _______ present in the magma. Magma can be divided into two major types – ___________ and ____________. A ________ volcano is a broad, gently sloping volcano formed by quiet eruptions of basaltic lava. A ____________ volcano is a steep-sided, loosely packed volcano formed from tephra. ___________ volcanoes are formed by alternating explosive and quiet eruptions that produce layers of tephra and lava. eruption silica silica rich silica poor shield cinder cone Composite

Review: What factors control the type of eruptions that occur?
Do Now!!! Review: What factors control the type of eruptions that occur?

You will learn to explain how a volcanic neck and a caldera form.
Objectives!!! You will learn to describe intrusive igneous rock features and how they formed. You will learn to explain how a volcanic neck and a caldera form.
50
6.3: Igneous Rock Features!!!
- rock cooled under ground
51
largest intrusive igneous rock forms when magma cools underground
Batholiths largest intrusive igneous rock forms when magma cools underground some have been exposed due to erosion
52
YOSEMITE STATE PARK
53
Magma squeezed into vertical cracks
Dike Magma squeezed into vertical cracks
54
Magma squeezed into horizontal cracks
Sill Magma squeezed into horizontal cracks
55
Solid igneous rock in the vent after cone has eroded away
Volcanic Neck Solid igneous rock in the vent after cone has eroded away

Devils Tower
59
Top of volcano collapses
Caldera Top of volcano collapses
60
Crater Lake ( 1,932 ft. deep)
61
Diameter is 5 miles
63
Intrusive igneous rock features
Let's Review!!! Intrusive igneous rock features _______________________________ are formed from magma that is forced upward toward Earth’s crust, then slowly cools and __________ underground _______ reaching the surface. __________, ______, and _____ are a few examples of intrusive igneous rock features. A ______________ is the solid igneous core of a volcano left behind after the softer cone has been ________. A _______ is a large, circular-shaped ___________ that forms when the top of a volcano collapses. solidifies before Batholiths dikes sills volcanic neck eroded caldera depression
