3  A volcano is shaped like a mountain constructed from lava and/or pyroclastics.  They erupt when “magma is generated by partial melting of the rock peridotite in the upper mantle to form magma with a basaltic composition”, ultimatly resulting in “buoyant molten rock will rise toward the surface” (Foundations of Earth Science).  When a volcano erupts, pyroclastic materials spew out of the vent.  A series of volcanoes that align around the edge of the pacific plate is called The Ring of Fire.  Volcanoes can have a status of active, dormant, or extinct.  Different types of volcanoes: strato and shield.

4  Found at tensional boundaries.  Gentle eruptions with fluid lava.  Cone is shape of volcano with it being wide and low, also having a gentle slope. (Geography). BBC- GCSE Bitesize.

5  Found at compressional boundaries.  Pyroclastic flow with high speeds of flow.  Have a cone shape with differentiating layers of ash and lava (Geography). BBC- GCSE Bitesize.

6  Lava- Magma that reaches Earth’s surface.  Mantle- The 2900-kilometer- (1800mile-) thick layer of Earth located below the crust.  Crust- The very thin outermost layer of Earth.  Magma- A body of molten rock found at depth, including any dissolved gases and crystals.  Pyroclastic Materials- The volcanic rock ejected during an eruption, including ash, bombs, and blocks.  Vent- a conduit (pipe) that connects a magma chamber to a volcanic crater.  Crater- The depression at the summit of a volcano.  Conduit (pipe)- A pipelike opening through which magma moves toward Earth’s surface. It terminates at a surface opening called a vent.  Active- erupt often  Dormant- inactive but not considered extinct  Extinct- Has no future of erupting.  Shield Volcano- A broad, gently sloping volcano built from fluid basaltic lavas. Has the appearance of a dome shield.  Strato Volcano- also referred to as composite cone, a volcano comprised of both lava flows and pyroclastic material. Has the appearance of a cone.

11  Here is a fun, at home experiment about constructing your own volcano and causing it to erupt.  Click the link to access the site.  Have parent approval before doing the experiment.  http://thehappyhousewife.com/home- management/how-to-build-a-volcano- model/#_a5y_p=1226050 http://thehappyhousewife.com/home- management/how-to-build-a-volcano- model/#_a5y_p=1226050
