1. VOLCANIC
LANDFORMS

2. LAND FORMS FROM LAVA AND ASH
SHIELD VOLCANOES
COMPOSITE VOLCANOES
CINDER CONE VOLCANOES
LAVA PLATEAUS

3. THIN LAYERS OF LAVA POUR OUT OF A VENT AND HAR
SHIELD VOLCANO
AT SOME PLACES ON THE EARTH LAVA GENTLY FLOWS OUT OF A VENT AND COOLS. MORE LAVA FLOWS OUT AND COOLS
IT EVENTUALLY FORMS A WIDE GENTLY FLOWING MOUNTAIN THAT LOOKS LIKE AN ANCIENT SHIELD.

4. CINDER CONE VOLCANO
IF THE LAVA FROM A VOLCANO IS THICK AND STIFF THEN THESE MATERIALS MAY BUILD UP AROUND THE VENT IN A STEEP CONE SHAPED PILE

5. COMPOSITE VOLCANO
SOMETIMES AN ERUPTION WILL PRODUCE ALTERNATING ERUPTIONS OF CINDER , ASH AND BOMBS. THIS PRODUCES A VOLCANO WITH ALTERNATING LAYERS OF LAVA AND ASH.

6. LAVA PLATEAU
RUNNY LAVA CAN FLOW OUT OF MANY CRACKS IN AN AREA . THIS LAVA FLOWS OVER A LARGE AREA BEFORE COOLING. AFTER MILLIONS OF YEARS OF DOING THIS A GIANT PLATEAU MADE OUT OF COOLED, HARD LAVA FORMS

7. CALDERA
SOMETIMES WHEN A VOLCANO ERUPTS ALL THE MAGMA COMES OUT FROM THE MAGMA CHAMBER . WITH NOTHING TO SUPPORT IT THE TOP FALLS IN. SOMETIMES THE SIDES AND WATER ARE ALL THAT ARE INSIDE

8. SOILS FROM LAVA AND ASH
WHEN LAVA FIRST COMES OUT THERE IS NOTHING LIVING IN IT. OVER TIME THE HARD COOLED LLAVA BREAKS DOWN. THIS RELEASES MANY NUTRIENTS THAT PLANTS NEED. WE CALL SOIL THAT IS RICH IN PLANT NUTRIENTS RICH SOIL THAT CAN PRODUCE MANY AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS. THIS IS WHY MANY PEOPLE LIVE NEAR VOLCANOES THAT HAVE ERUPTED IN THE PAST- AND MAY ERUPT AGAIN

9. LANDFORMS FROM MAGMA VOLCANIC NECKS DIKES SILLS BATHOLITHS
DOME MOUNTAINS

10. VOLCANIC NECK
WHEN MAGMA HARDENS IN A VOLCANOS PIPE AND THE SOFTER ROCK AROUND IT WEARS AWAY THE MAGMA LOOKS LIKE A GIANT TOOTH STUCK IN THE GROUND

11. DIKES AND SILLS
DIKES – WHEN MAGMA FORCES ITSELF DOWN BETWEEN LAYERS OF ROCK AND HARDENS
SILLS – WHEN MAGMA FORCES ITS WAY BETWEEN LAYERS OF ROCK AND HARDENS

12. BATHOLITHS
A BATHOLITH FORMS WHEN A LARGE MASS OF MAGMA COOLS INSIDE THE CRUST. THESE FORM THE CORE OF MANY MOUNTAIN RANGES

13. DOME MOUNTAIN
SMALLER BODIES OF MAGMA ARE BLOCKED BY HORIZONTAL ROCK LAYERS. THE HEAT AND PRESSURE FROM THE MAGMA BEND AND PUSH THE ROCK LAYERS UP. EVENTUALLY THE ROCK WEARS AWAY LEAVING THE HARDENED MAGMA EXPOSED.
