2. Form of Volcano: Slightly Sloped 6-12 degrees Size: Up to 9000m high Type of Magma: Basalt Style of Activity: Gentle, some fire fountains Examples: Hawaii

3. Mauna Loa, the largest of the shield volcanoes, is 13,677 feet above sea level, which means it rises over 28,000 feet above the deep ocean floor, and would be the worlds tallest mountain if much of it were not underwater.

4. Form of Volcano: Moderate slope Size: 100-400m high Type of Magma: Basalt or andesite Style of Activity: Ejections of pyroclastic material Examples: Paricutin, Mexico

6. Form of Volcano: Alternate layers of flows and pyroclastics Size: 100-3500m high Type of Magma: Variety of types of magmas and ash Style of Activity: Often violent Examples: Vesuvius, Mount St. Helens, Aconcagua

8. Ash and gas spewed Ash and gas spewed Some falls or washes out, some shoot into stratosphere Some falls or washes out, some shoot into stratosphere Ash and gas in stratosphere causes haze Ash and gas in stratosphere causes haze Haze shades and cools Earth enough to cause a climate change Haze shades and cools Earth enough to cause a climate change Pinatubo in Philippines (1991) Pinatubo in Philippines (1991) 15 million tons of sulfur dioxide 15 million tons of sulfur dioxide Solar radiation declined 2-4% Solar radiation declined 2-4% Temperature rose again in 1994 Temperature rose again in 1994 Put more aerosols into the stratosphere than any other volcano in the 20 th century Put more aerosols into the stratosphere than any other volcano in the 20 th centuryhttp://earthbulletin.amnh.org/D/3/1/

9. 79 A.D. Destroyed Roman cities of Pompeii, Herculaneum and several neighboring villages near what is now Naples, Italy. Buried the villages 5-8m of hot ash Inactive for 700 years prior to the eruption.

10. 1883 SW Pacific Ocean Generated tsunamis Killed 36,000 people
