2 What is a volcano:A weakened place in the Earths crust where magma erupts as lava.

3 Magma: Molten rock, gases, and water. Melting from: Heat, pressure, and water Lava: mostly molten rock, the gases and water evaporate at the surface.

4

5 Major volcanic zones: 1. Ring of fire because of subduction zones. Island arcs

6 2. Mid-Ocean Ridges: seafloor spreading, pillow lava’s Iceland

7

8 Hot Spot Volcano’s: Hawaii, Yellowstone,Hawaii, Yellowstone, Congo, 1.Mantle plumes of magma feed these volcano’s from deep in the mantle.

15 Plutons

16 Devils Tower is a Pluton

17 Section 2: Volcanic Eruptions 1.Mafic Eruptions: Magnesium Ma and iron Fe so….. MaFic a. Low Silica (sand or quartz) and gas b. Low Viscosity: Very runny lava c. Quiet eruptions

18 d. Pahoehoe lava “ropy”: very mafic, runny

19 e. Aa lava: sharp jagged lava.

20 f. Blocky lava: higher silica and viscosity.

21 Felsic Eruptions: 1.Violent 2. High in silica 3.Granitic in nature. Pyroclastic flow

22 Types of Volcanoes: 1.Shield volcano: like a shield laying upside down. Hawaii is a huge shield volcano

23 Hawaii shield

25 Composite Volcano alternating layers of lava and ash build the Volcano into its classic shape.

26 Lava flows Ash layers

27 Toba Caldera: Indonesia

28 The eruption takes place at several places at the same time within the volcano.

29 Cinder cone: Steep side and made of cinders.
