4 Volcanic eruptions create landforms made of lava, ash, and other materials. Landforms: shield volcanoes, cinder cone volcanoes, composite volcanoes, and lava plateaus. Shield Volcano

12 People often settle close to volcanoes to take advantage of the fertile volcanic soil. (Fertile Soil -able to support plant growth. )

13  When volcanic ash breaks down, it releases potassium, phosphorus, and other substances that plants need.  Some volcanic soils are among the richest soils in the world.

14 Volcanic Neck Dike Sill Landforms from Magma

16 Batholith

17  Dome Mountains – form when an uplift pushes a batholith or smaller body of hardened magma toward the surface. The hardened magma forces the layers of rock to bend upward into a dome shape.

18 Geo – meaning “Earth” Therme – meaning “heat” In geothermal activity, magma a few kilometers beneath Earth’s surface heats underground water.

19  Hot Springs – form when groundwater is heated by a nearby body of magma or by hot rock deep underground.
