Formed by very runny lava, this type of volcano is generally very large in size.
What is a Shield volcano?
100
This is the "basic building block" in a volcano
What is Magma?
100
This type of lava flows quickly.
What is Aa?
100
This is the most common area of where volcanoes are
What is the Ring of Fire?
100
When this volcano erupted in 1815, it caused the surrounding area to be dark for three days.
What is Tambora?
200
These volcanoes are small and they erupt for a short time, and also get eroded easily.
What are Cinder Cone volcanoes?
200
This usually forms at the boundary of tectonic plates
What is Magma?
200
This type of lava flows very slowly, and its smooth surface forms wrinkles
What is Pahoehoe?
200
80% of all volcanoes form when plates do this.
What is collide?
200
This volcano erupted in 1984, and lots of lava came out.
What is Mauna Loa?
300
This volcano is the most common type of volcano.
What are Composite volcano?
300
This the most common cause of magma forming
What is a decrease in pressure?
300
This type of lava is best known for its shape.
What is Pillow lava?
300
15% of all volcanoes forms when plates do this.
What is separate?
300
In 1980, this volcano erupted and destroyed part of itself. Also most of the surrounding forest was flattened
What is Mt. Saint Helens?
400
When this type of volcano erupts, a combination of lava and rock fragments come out
What are Composite volcanoes?
400
Because Magma forms at the boundary of tectonic plates, then this does, too.
What are volcanoes?
400
This type of lava is cooled and hardened and is rock

What are hot spots?

2000 years ago, this volcano erupted and destroyed two cities nearby.
What is Pompeii?
500
These volcanoes form is clusters on the side of other larger volcanoes.
What are Cinder Cone volcanoes?
500
80% of the time, magma forms at this kind of a boundary.
What are divergent boundaries?
500
This is the term for how fast lava flows
What is Wisocoisty?
500
This could be reasons of why some volcanoes forms far away from tectonic plates.
What is there could be holes in tectonic plates?
500
This volcano, when erupted formed a whole new island out of its lava.
What is Surtsey?
