A person who studies Volcanoes, trying to predict their future eruptions, as well as current and past eruptions.
What is a volcanologist?
100
Thermal energy generated and stored in the Earth. Water can transfer this energy to the surface where it can be harnessed as a renewable source of energy.
What is Geothermal Energy?
100
A crack or opening in the Earth's crust that molten rock can pass through.
What is a Fissure?
100
This pink material was useful in modeling the behavior of molten rock.
What is Model Magma?
100
This tool is helpful to Volcanologists because it helps them detect volcanic tremors.
What is a Seismograph?
200
Very small solid particles ejected from a volcano during an eruption. Measure less than 2mm across.
What is Ash?
200
A type of Geothermal Energy that can be added to any type of home.
What is Geothermal Heat Pump?
200
An indent formed at the top of a volcano.
What is a Crater?
200
This fluid had the least amount of viscosity when we performed the Viscosity lab.
What is Water?
200
This mountain erupted in the early 90's and killed hundreds of people due to volcanic mud flows.
What is Mt. Pinatubo?
300
Molten rock, a hot fluid or semi-fluid material that has erupted from a volcano or fissure in the Earth’s crust.
What is Lava?
300
A factory that is built along geologically active areas to take advantage of pockets of hot water that are warmed by magma.
What is a Geothermal Energy Plant?
300
This a volcanic mudflow.
What is a Lahar?
300
This characteristic can increase or decrease viscosity in a fluid.
What is Temperature?
300
This type of volcano is small but very explosive.
What is a cinder cone volcano?
400
A large volcanic crater, formed by a major eruption leading to the collapse of the mouth of the volcano.
What is a Caldera?
400
Along with Geothermal energy, wind, solar, and hydroelectric are all this type of energy.
What is renewable energy?
400
This is a large area of molten rock beneath the earth's crust that is under intense pressure.
What is a Magma Chamber?
400
When this material was added to a fluid, it increased it's viscosity.
What is Sand?
400
This tool detects sulfur dioxide in the air and helps Volcanologists to determine the amount of gasses being vented into the air.
What is a Correlation Spectrometer?
500
A mound of viscous lava that has been forced out of a volcanic vent.
What is a Lava Dome?
500
This pool is located outside of a Geothermal Energy Plant and is fed by the heated waters that produce energy in the plant.
What is the Blue Lagoon?
500
This is eruptive material that has been ejected into the air.
What is Tephra?
500
This material can take decades to flow into a drop.
What is Pitch Tar?
500
This is one of the largest volcanic mountains in the world?
