Parts
Molten rock beneath Earth's surface.
Magma
Shaped like a bowl or shield in the middle with long gentle slopes made by the lava flows.
Shield Volcano
Volcano that has been a while since it has erupted, but could at anytime.
Dormant
It is the study of volcanoes, lava, magma and related geological, geophysical and geochemical phenomena. The term volcanology is derived from the Latin word vulcan. Vulcan was the ancient Roman god of fire.
Volcanology
They occur when water in the form of groundwater, seawater, or even melting glacial ice or snow comes into contact with magma.
Phreatic/ Hydrovolcanic Eruption
An opening in Earth's surface through which volcanic materials escape.
Vent
Volcanoes are steep-sided volcanoes composed of many layers of volcanic rocks, usually made from thick sticky lava, ash and rock debris (broken pieces). Also known as strato-volcanoes.
Examples include Mount Fuji in Japan,
Composite Volcano
Volcano has been a while since it has erupted, but could at anytime.
Dormant
Mountain produced the largest volcanic eruption recorded in human history
Mount Tambora's 1815 eruption
They are explosive eruptions of intermediate to felsic lava, and can form eruptive columns up to 45 km high.
Plinian
Mouth of a volcano - surrounds a volcanic vent.
Crater
Are circular or oval cones built from erupting lava that breaks into small pieces as it shoots into the air.
Cinder Volcano
Volcano that hasn't erupted in a very long, long time so it probably won't ever again.
Extinct
What color is the hottest lava?
Yellow
Eruption that characterize by tall eruption columns that reach up to 20 km high pyroclastic flow and ashfall tephra
Vulcanian
The side of a volcano.
Flank
They are formed when erupting lava is too thick to flow and makes a steep-sided mound as the lava piles up near the volcanic vent.
Lava Domes
It is a large stratovolcano in the island of Mindanao, the highest mountain in the Philippines.
Mt. Apo
It is the largest volcano in the solar system. The massive Martian mountain towers high above the surrounding plains of the red planet, and may be biding its time until the next eruption.
Mars' Olympus Mons
A violent eruption due to the contact between water and magma
Phreatomagmatic Eruption
Entrance of a volcano. The part of the conduit that ejects lava and volcanic ash.
Throat
Type of volcano that eruptions can be anytime and often.
Active
it is one of the world's smallest volcanoes, it is the Philippines' second most active volcano.
Taal
What is the oldest active volcano on Earth?
Mount Etna of Italy
A periodic weak to violent eruption characterized by fountain lava
