1 4 th Grade Science By: Lindsey Scott

2 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.

9 Mt. St. Helens

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

11 Quiz

12 Question 1 How is magma different than lava? a. Lava is below the Earth’s surface b. Magma is below the Earth’s surface c. There is no difference

13 Next Question

14 Correct Answer: b. Magma is below the Earth’s surface

15 Question 2 Which volcano is this? a. Shield Volcano b. Composite Volcano c. Cinder Cone Volcano

16 Correct Answer: c. Cinder Cone Volcano

17 Question 3 Which Volcano is Mt. St. Helens? a. Shield Volcano b. Composite Volcano c. Cinder Cone Volcano

18 Correct Answer: b. Composite Volcano

19 Great Job!! Have a wonderful rest of the day! I will see all of you bright and early tomorrow morning!
