Learning Objectives As a result from this power point, the students will know about volcanoes and other properties volcanoes contain. The quiz will be a review on the subject the students just learned and will be a way for me, as the teacher, to see if they understood the lesson.
3
Volcanoes
4
What is in Volcanoes? Magma - molten rock below the Earth’s surface. Lava – magma on the Earth’s surface.
5
Different Types of Volcanoes 1.Shield Volcanoes 2.Composite Volcanoes 3.Cinder Cone Volcanoes
6
Shield Volcano Made of lava Has a small and gentle slope Mostly around oceans Example: Volcanoes near the Islands of Hawaii
7
Composite Volcanoes Small in size with a steep slope Short life span Made of pyroclastic flow – Pyroclastic flow – fast moving current of hot gas and rock.
8
Mt. St. Helens Mt. St. Helens is a Composite Volcano Erupted in the state of Washington in 1980 It was very destructive and deadly The eruption created an earthquake, landslide, and explosion. – Earthquake – shaking of the ground caused by the release of energy stored in the rocks beneath the Earth’s surface. – Landslide – when gravity pulls the ground and creates ground movement (including rocks, soil, etc.) along a slope or mountain side.

Cinder Cone Volcanoes Made of both Lava and Pyroclastic flow Semi-Steep Long life spans (about 100s to 1,000s of years without activity)
