A volcano that can affect an area greater than 1000 cubic kilometers.
What is a Supervolcano?
A break or crack where movement occurs.
What is a Fault?
The degree of hotness or coldness of an object or environment.
What is temperature?
The ability of objects to float in water or air.
What is buoyancy?
A zone of frequent earthquakes and volcanic eruptions that encircles the Pacific Ocean.
What are pyroclastic rocks?
(or Volcanic Bombs)
When the collision of crust bends rock layers.

What is the Lithosphere?
These volcanoes are built up over time after many eruptions pouring lava from a single vent.
What are Shield volcanoes?
When soil liquifies as a result of powerful shaking.
What is liquefaction?
Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation is often called this.
What is laser?

What is Archimedes Principle?
With this boundary crust is destroyed and recycled back into the interior of the earth.
