Learning Goals SWBAT describe the types of landforms that are created by lava and ash. SWBAT explain the types of landforms created when magma hardens beneath the surface.
Shield volcano A wide, gently sloping mountain created by lava flows.
Shield volcano A wide, gently sloping mountain created by lava flows.
Cinder cone volcano A steep, cone-shaped hill or small mountain built up by lava high in silica.
Cinder cone volcano A steep, cone-shaped hill or small mountain built up by lava high in silica.
Tall, cone-shaped mountains in which layers of lava alternate with layer of ash. Composite volcano
Tall, cone-shaped mountains in which layers of lava alternate with layer of ash. Composite volcano
The huge hole left by the collaps of a volcanic mountain. Caldera
Forms when magma hardents in a volcano’s pipe. Volcanic neck
Magma that forces itself across rock layers that hardens. dike
When magma squeezes between horizontal layers of rock. sill
Forms when magma hardens underground to form igneous rock. intrusion
A mass of rock formed when a large body of magma cools inside the crust. Batholith
Landforms from lava and ash Volcanic eruptions create landforms made of lava, ash, and other materials. These landforms include shield volcanoes, cinder cone volcanoes, composite volcanoes, and lava plateaus.
