1 Objectives  I will know what earthquakes are and how they are monitored on Earth.  I will know how volcanoes are formed and what types of volcanoes are located on the Earth.  I will be able to analyze graphs and data to draw conclusions about earthquakes.  I will be able to utilize text tagging strategies to discover how earthquakes can be related to volcanic activity.

2 Different Types of Volcanoes  Shield Volcanoes Shield volcanoes are built of layers of lava released from repeated non- explosive eruptions.  Example: Hawaii

3 Different Types of Volcanoes  Cinder Cone Volcanoes Cinder cone volcanoes are made of pyroclastic material usually produced from moderately explosive eruptions.  Paricutin Mexico

4 Different Types of Volcanoes  Composite Volcanoes (stratovolcanoes) are one of the most common types of volcanoes. They form from explosive eruptions of pyroclastic material followed by quieter flows of lava.  Mt. Saint Helen’s
