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

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
