3. What is a volcano? A weak spot in the crust where magma comes to the surface. Magma at surface = lava

4. Earth’s Active Volcanoes

6. Volcanoes at Convergent Boundaries Volcanoes often occur near plate boundaries as a result of subduction.

7. Volcanoes at Convergent Boundaries Island Arcs occur when 2 pieces of oceanic crust collide.

8. Hot Spot Volcanoes Super hot areas of the mantle melt through the crust to form Hot Spot volcanoes.

9. Hot Spot Volcanoes Hawaii

10. Hot Spot Volcanoes Yellowstone
