1. Homework  Metamorphic rock lab due Monday  Read section 9.3  Q’s 1-4 on pg 201

2. Definitions Section 9.2

3. Magma and Erupted Materials  Viscosity: A substance’s resistance to flow (high viscosity = honey, low = water)  Lava: Magma that reaches Earth’s surface

4.  Pahoehoe: Solidified basaltic lava flow on land that has formed with smooth, ropelike surfaces  Aa: A solidified basaltic lava flow on land that has formed with rough, jagged surfaces

5.  Lahar: a fast-moving mudflow that occurs when heat of a volcano melts the snow and ice on top of a volcano  Pillow Lava: Lava that cools underwater, taking on a distinctive pillow-like shape as it hardens

6.  Pyroclastic material: solid rock fragments that are ejected during a volcanic eruption  Pyroclastic flow: A dense, superheated cloud of gases and pyroclastic materials that moves rapidly downhill from an eruption volcano

8. Felsic and Mafic Magmas  Felsic (Feldspar Silica) magma: high silica, low density, light-colored, slow moving and typically come out of explosive volcanoes  Mafic (Magnesium ferric) magma: low silica, high density, more fluid, darker in color and flow more easily. Usually flows smoothly onto the surface
