Effects of Eruption
These are formed by the cooling of magma or lava.
What are igneous rocks?
Magma that goes above ground.
What is lava?
I am a famous volcanic eruption.
What is Mt. Vesuvius?(or any other eruption)
This is an event that often occurs with a volcanic eruption and is caused by the shifting of tectonic plates.
What is an earthquake?
The bowl-shaped area at the volcanoes main opening.
What is the crater?
This is where volcanoes are typically found.
What are tectonic plate boundaries?
These are formed when lava cools after an eruption.
What are extrusive igneous rocks?
This type of volcano has explosive eruptions and has a cone shape.
What is a cinder cone volcano?
This occurs at a convergent plate boundary and can form trenches and volcanoes.
What is subduction?
This is formed when the gases and ash produced from the volcano are mixed with precipitation.
What is acid rain?
This type of volcano is characterized by quiet eruptions and has a very gentle slope.
What is a shield volcano?
This theory is supported by volcanic activity that maps plate boundaries.
What is plate tectonics theory?
I am one of the gases that are released during a volcanic eruption.
What is water vapor or carbon dioxide or sulfur (etc)?
This is where excess magma cools to form intrusive igneous rocks and is located within different layers of the Earth’s crust.
What is an intrusion?
This is an area in the Pacific Ocean that has high amounts of volcanic activity.
What is the Ring of Fire?
