Volcanoes Vocabulary that you are accountable for is underlined! Eruption in Indonesia 1/8/2014
3
Hot Spots- area of high temp. lava - made Hawaii
4
View From Space - Klyuchevskaya, Russia
5
Magma – molten rock beneath the surface Lava – molten rock on the surface
6
Types of Volcanoes Composite Cone or
8
A Cinder Cone: Wizard Island at Crater Lake, Oregon
9
Icelandic Volcanoes
10
Eyjafjallajokull
11
Tuff Ring: Diamond Head, Hawaii
12
Shield Volcano: Mauna Loa, Hawaii
14
Stratovolcano or Composite Cone: Mount Shasta, California
15
Shastina and Landslide Deposit
16
Products of Eruptions Lava Flows Pyroclastic Debris Bombs Lapilli Ash Mudflows Landslides Gases Steam Carbon Dioxide H 2 S SO 2 HCl HF
17
Environmental Hazards of Volcanoes Pollution SO 2, HCl in Water Lava Flows Falling Ejecta Ash Falls Building Collapse Crop Destruction Mudflows Direct Damage (Colombia, 1985) Floods (Several Types) Blast (Mt. St. Helens, 1980) Pyroclastic Flow (St. Pierre, 1902) Gas (Lake Nyos, Cameroon, 1986)
18
Pyroclastic Flow or Nuee- Ardente (French: Fiery Cloud)
19
How Calderas Form:
20
Crater Lake, Oregon
21
Colorado Volcanoes ?– La Garita
22
Evolution of Volcanoes An active volcanic landscape
23
Evolution of Volcanoes A volcanic landscape after a million years or so
25
Mount Hood is a stratovolcano in the Cascades of northern Oregon
26
The caldera at Crater Lake National Park cuts through the flanks of the former Mount Mazama (composite cone)
27
Layers of tephra on Usu (stratovolcano) in Japan. The crater by the volcanologists was formed in 1977-1978.
28
Eruption of Galunggung (stratovolcano) in Indonesia.
29
1980 eruption of Mt. Saint Helens produced 0.1 cubic miles (0.5 cubic km) of ash. Stratovolcanoes are associated with subduction zones, areas where dense oceanic plates are pushed beneath more buoyant continental plates.
30
The cinder cone in the above photo is Puu Lilinue on Mauna Kea in Hawaii.
31
Cinder cones are produced by "fire fountains," low-energy eruptions that propel fragments of lava 100s of feet into the air.
32
A volcanic dome is a steep-sided, rounded extrusion of highly viscous lava squeezed out from a volcano to form a dome- shaped, or bulbous, mass of lava above and around the volcanic vent
33
During the 1989-1990 eruption of Redpubt volcano (Alaska) several lava domes grew and collapsed near the summit of the volcano.
34
Flood Basalts The Columbia River basalts cover parts of the states of Oregon, Washington, and Idaho and are a famous example of flood basalts that produced a lava plain.
35
Lava Eruptions under water or ice produce pillow lava (become pillow basalt)
36
Coastal Flows
37
"Pahoehoe" and "aa" are Hawaiian words used to describe the type of lava volcanoes have
38
Aa Flow

Pahoehoe
41
Lava Tubes
