This is why some volcanoes are more explosive then others.
What is high viscosity lava?
These volcanoes are made of low viscosity lava.
What is shield volcano?
The lithosphere is described like this.
What is stone like, and or rigid?
This type of plate boundary has a subduction zone.
What is convergent plate boundary?
What is the cause of the volcano building in Hawaii?
What is a hot spot volcano?
This type of volcano is formed when the magma chamber of the volcano is close to the surface.
What is caldera volcano?
This is why some volcanoes have steep slopes.
High viscosity lava does not flow far down the flank of the volcano
This is the plastic like layer that the plates slide around on.
What is the asthenosphere?
This plate movement means to slide alongside one another.
What is a transform plate boundary?
This is the U.S. state with the most shield volcanoes.
What is Hawaii?
When these volcanoes finish erupting, the magma chamber collapses.
What are caldera volcanoes?
Lava that is low viscosity creates this type of volcano.
What are shield volcanoes?
This type of plate movement means to move together.
What is convergent?
This is the most famous transform plate boundary.
What is the San Andres Fault?
Shield volcanoes form in this part of the tectonic plate.
What is the middle of the plate?
Yellowstone is considered to be one of these.
What is a super volcano?
Composite volcanoes usually grow in this type of plate boundary.
What is a subduction zones?
This is when the plates are moving apart at mid-ocean ridges
What is divergent plate boundary?
Along with convection, this is what drives the Pacific Plate’s movement.
What is ridge push and slab pull?
The composition of lava in a shield volcano has this viscosity.
What is low viscosity?
This is the most devastating effect of a Yellow Stone eruption.
What is the ash cloud?
Volcanoes in the Ring of Fire are mostly this type of volcano.
What is composite volcano?
This explains how the mantle creates plate motion
What is convection?
This types of volcanoes are found near plate boundaries and are very explosive when they erupt.
What are composite volcanoes?
This volcanic island chain includes the Hawaiian Islands.
What is the Emperor Island chain?
