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.

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. Strato and Shield Volcanoes. [Images]. Retrieved from http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/gcsebitesize/geography /natural_hazards/volcanoes_rev3.shtmlhttp://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/gcsebitesize/geography
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.

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.

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
