1 Intro Objective: 7 November 2011 Compare and contrast the three types of volcanoes. Why do you think different eruption types make differently shaped volcanoes?

2 Types of Volcanoes

3 Shield Volcano Built from layers of runny lava from multiple quiet eruptions Shallow, broad slope creating a flat, wide volcano Example – Name: Mauna Kea – Location: Hawaii Types of Volcanoes Flipchart pg. 2

4 Mauna Kea, Hawaii

5 Hualalai, Hawaii

6 Kilauea, Hawaii

7 Mt. Okmok, Alaska

8 Effects of Volcanoes Composite Volcano Alternates between quiet and violent eruptions Creates alternating layers of lava and ash debris (tephra) Broad bases and steep sides (looks like regular mtn.) Example – Name: Mt. St. Helens – Location: Washington, USA Types of Volcanoes Pg. 3

9 Mt. Fuji, Japan

10 Mt. St. Helens

11 Mayon, Philippines

12 Popocatépetl, Mexico

13 Mt. Kazbek, Georgia (the country)

14 Pinatubo, Philippines

15 Lassen Peak, California

16 Krakatoa, Indonesia

17 Types of Volcanoes Cinder Cone Volcano Made mostly of pyroclastic material from moderately explosive eruptions. Steep slopes but small in size Magma has high amounts of silica Example – Name: Paricutín – Location: Mexico Types of Volcanoes Flipchart Pg. 4

18 Sunset Crater, Arizona

19 Holocene, Utah

20 Parícutin, Mexico

21 Effects of Volcanoes Summary: – Describe a shield volcano. – Describe a composite volcano. – Describe a cinder cone volcano.
