100
This volcano has gently sloping sides.
What is a shield volcano?
100
This is the point where the magma leaves the volcano's pipe.
What is the vent?
100
This is molten rock above ground.
What is lava?
100
This is what forms when magma hardens in a volcanic pipe.
What is a volcanic neck?
100
This is a volcano that is unlikely to erupt soon.
What is a dormant volcano?
200
This type of volcano has layers of ash and lava.
What is a composite volcano?
200
This is the narrow tube that rises from the magma chamber to the vent.
What is the pipe.
200
This is molten rock below ground?
What is magma
200
This is when magma squeezes between relatively horizontal layers of rock.
What is a sill?
200
This is when magma heats water underground and it is trapped.
What is a geyser?
300
This type of volcano is a very steep cone shaped hill or mountain.
What is a cinder cone volcano?
300
This is the large area underground where the magma is held.
What is the magma chamber?
300
This material changes the thickness of lava. This also determines how quiet or explosive an eruption is.
What is silica?
300
This is when magma forces itself into a vertical crack and hardens.
What is a dike?
300
This is one benefit of volcanoes for life. This is why people live near volcanoes.
What is fertile soil?
400
This is a high level area formed by rising underground lava.
What is a lava plateau?
400
This is the bowl shaped area that forms around the volcano's vent.
What is the crater?
400
This is fast moving hot lava.
What is Pahoehoe?
400
This is a mass of rock that forms when a large body of magma cools inside the crust.
What is a batholith?
400
This is an explosion of ash, cinders, and bombs from a violent volcanic eruption.
What is a pyroclastic flow?
500
This is a hole left by the collapse of a volcanic mountain.
What is a caldera?
500
This is a crack that lava flows out which is not the main vent.
What is the side vent.
500
This is cooler and slower moving lava.
What is Aa?
500
Dikes and sills are examples of this which forms when magma hardens underground to form igneous rock.
What is an intrusion?
500
These two other planets have extinct volcanoes similar to earth.
What are Mars and Venus?
