4. Shield Volcano A shield volcano is is typically built by eruptions of fluid, basaltic lava. The take on the appearance of shield with the convex side facing upward. The Hawaiian Islands are an example of shield volcanoes.

5. Shield Volcano

6. Composite Volcano A composite volcano is built by alternating eruptions of lava and pyroclastic material. Composite volcanoes, also called stratovolcanoes, form tall conical mountains.

8. Cinder Cone Cinder cones are constructed from the deposition of cinders and other pyroclastic material. Tend to be smaller in height than stratovolcanoes and have an asymetric cone.

31. Climate Change as related to volcanic activity http://www.cotf.edu/ete/modules/volcanoes/vclimate.html You should be able to understand the short term and long term effects. What gases are released and why are these gases important to the weather/climate? What level of the atmosphere does gases affected the climate? What is the “Year without a Summer”? For help, you should be able to ask last year’s Meteorology team members. http://www.cotf.edu/ete/modules/volcanoes/vclimate.html

33. Plate Tectonics Plate tectonics is the geophysical theory in which the earth's crust is broken into huge plates that move about laterally and vertically. The interaction of lithospheric plates creates second order relief features of the earth, e.g. mountain chains, deep valleys. lithospheric plates

42. Sea-floor spreading occurs where oceanic plates are diverging from one another. Magma rises along a rift zone and spreads out at the surface building new sea floor. As a result, the age of the rocks increases as one moves away from the rift zone. The mid- oceanic ridge is the primary site for sea-floor spreading. Earthquakes and volcanoes are where sea floor spreading is occurring.

44. Magnetic stripes record the magnetic polarization of iron- bearing rocks from a magnetometer. Deciphering magnetic stripes was one of the pieces of evidence to support the theory of sea floor spreading and plate tectonics.sea floor spreadingplate tectonics
