The Parts of a
Volcano
What is a Volcano?
 A volcano is a
mountain that
forms when
magma reaches
the surface of
the Earth.
 Magma rises
because it is
less dense than
the solid rock
around it.
What are the parts of a
Volcano?
Structure of an active volcano
Sketch and label this diagram in your notes
Crater: the depression
at the top of a volcano
Vent: Location where
magma escapes from
the volcano.
Lava Pipe: Connects
the vent to the Magma
Chamber
Magma Chamber: the
source of magma for a
volcano
Types of Volcanoes
• There are 3 types
of Volcanoes:
Shield
Cinder Cone
Composite
• They are
classified by
how they form.
Shield Volcano
• Is wide and somewhat
flat.
• It forms from a quiet
eruption.
• Lava flows out quietly
and for great distances.
• Layers of ash and lava
• Resemble a warriors
shield
Cinder Cone Volcano
Has tall, very steep sides.
Has explosive eruptions.
This eruption produces a lot of
cinder and ash.
Usually only erupts once After
the eruption the volcano never
erupts again
because of their short life span
these volcanoes are relatively
small.
Composite Volcano
Composite Cones are formed
from alternating layers of ash
and lava.
- These have the most
destructive eruptions
Dormant Volcanoes no longer have a source of
magma and do not have a risk of erupting.
a. Dormant volcanoes eventually weather
and erode and expose the igneous rocks
formed by the magma. These rocks are
called Plutons.
Lava Necks: The
remains of the lava
pipe of an ancient
volcano.
Lava pipes in the
Arizona Desert
Batholith: When the main magma
chamber stops receiving heat
from the earth's interior it
becomes a solid igneous rock.
Laccoliths: Form
when magma fills
chambers near
the surface, but to
the side of a
volcano.
