There are three main types of volcanoes: 1) Cinder cones erupt small pieces of scoria and pyroclastics that build up around the vent to form cone-shaped hills. Examples include Parícutin in Mexico and Sunset Crater in Arizona. 2) Stratovolcanoes are tall conical mountains composed of layered lava flows and ejecta. Examples include Mt. Fuji in Japan and Mount Vesuvius in Italy. Their explosive eruptions have posed great hazards. 3) Subglacial volcanoes form underneath ice sheets, leaving flat-topped mountains when the ice melts. Good examples are found in Iceland and British Columbia.

This document discusses different types of volcanoes and their characteristics. It describes three main types: composite volcanoes, cinder cones, and shield volcanoes. Composite volcanoes are large, steep mountains formed from layers of lava and pyroclastic material. They often have small craters and include volcanoes like Krakatoa. Cinder cones are small, steep mountains composed of hardened volcanic cinders and ash. Shield volcanoes are enormous mountains thousands of kilometers high, like Mauna Loa, formed from numerous mild lava flows. The document provides details on the components and eruptive behaviors of each type.
Volcanoes
Volcanoes are classified by their shape and size, which are determined by factors like the material ejected and type of eruptions. The main types are shield volcanoes, composite cones, and cinder cones. Shield volcanoes have broad, low profiles created by fluid basalt flows, while composite cones have alternating layers of lava and ash from explosive eruptions. Cinder cones are small and steep with loose cinder fragments. The document provides examples like Hawaii's shield volcanoes, Colombia's Nevado del Ruiz composite cone, and Mexico's Parícutin cinder cone to illustrate each type.
Information on volcano for school
Volcanoes are openings in the Earth's crust that allow magma, ash, and gases to escape from below the surface. There are three types of volcanoes: active, dormant, and extinct. Magma is molten rock underground, while lava is magma that flows out of a volcano. Ash, cinders, and pumice are other materials emitted from volcanoes. Over half of the world's volcanoes are located on the Ring of Fire around the Pacific Ocean. Volcanic eruptions are caused by the movement of tectonic plates, which squeezes magma up in between. Eruptions can endanger people through lava, tsunamis, earthquakes, and toxic gases
Volcanoes 2
Volcanoes form when molten rock erupts from the earth's crust. There are several types of volcanoes including shield volcanoes, cinder cone volcanoes, composite volcanoes, caldera volcanoes, and fissure volcanoes. Volcanoes are most common along tectonic plate boundaries in the Pacific Ring of Fire and where convection currents in the mantle upwell. Eruptions occur via explosions that release underground gases and magma due to a decrease in pressure from earthquakes or other crustal shifts. Major eruptions can cause widespread destruction through lava flows, poisonous gases, ash falls, and landslides.

GRADE 9 EARTH AND SPACE - VOLCANOES
This document provides information about different types of volcanoes. It describes volcanoes as vents where hot gases, rocks, and lava are ejected from the Earth's surface. Volcanoes form at plate boundaries, and can also form when plates separate under the ocean. The document then classifies volcanoes according to their shape (cinder cone, shield, composite) and activity level (active, dormant, extinct). Specific examples are given for each type of volcano classification.
Volcanoes Information Report
This document provides information about volcanoes. It defines volcanoes as openings in the Earth's surface that allow magma, ash, and gases to escape during eruptions. It notes they are usually located at tectonic plate boundaries, especially around the Pacific Ring of Fire. The document describes how magma rises through the volcano's vent and turns to lava before erupting. It lists some facts about volcanoes and provides a diagram of a volcano's structure. It also discusses impacts of volcanoes on people and the environment, both positive and negative, as well as strategies for preparing for a volcanic eruption.
Canete marianne
Volcanoes are openings in the earth's crust that allow magma, hot lava, volcanic ash, and gases to escape from below the surface. The earth's crust is broken into tectonic plates that move and occasionally cause pressure to build under the surface, resulting in volcanic eruptions when the pressure is released. There are three main types of volcanoes: composite volcanoes, shield volcanoes, and dome volcanoes, which erupt in different ways depending on the viscosity of the lava. Several active volcanoes in the Philippines are discussed, including Mayon Volcano, Taal Volcano, and Kanlaon Volcano. Volcanic eruptions can have both positive and negative environmental impacts

Volcanoes ppt
Volcanoes are formed when magma from the Earth's upper mantle works its way to the surface and erupts. They can erupt explosively, ejecting ash and rock fragments into the air, or effusively, oozing lava onto the surface. The largest active volcano is Mauna Loa in Hawaii. Major volcanic eruptions, like Krakatoa in 1883 and Mount Pelee in 1902, can have devastating impacts and cause loss of life. Plate tectonics and the movement of tectonic plates under the Earth's surface is a major factor in where volcanoes are located.
Volcanoes PART 1
This document discusses different types of volcanoes. It provides descriptions of cinder cones, shield volcanoes, composite volcanoes, and lava domes. Cinder cones are symmetrical cones up to 1,200 feet tall formed from a single vent. Shield volcanoes are very broad with shallow slopes and can be over 30,000 feet tall. Composite volcanoes are also known as stratovolcanoes, ranging from 1-10 km wide and up to 10,000 feet tall with steep slopes. They have explosive, dangerous eruptions. Lava domes are much smaller formations that occur when lava is too viscous to flow, piling up in a dome shape around 100 feet tall. Examples of each type
Types of volcanoes
This document summarizes the different types of volcanoes:
Fissure volcanoes erupt from long cracks in the ground, spreading vast quantities of lava over wide areas to form flat plains. Cinder cones are small, steep-sided hills formed from eruptions at a single vent that eject fragments of lava. Composite or strato-volcanoes are tall and symmetrical with alternating layers of lava and ash, such as Mount Fuji. Shield volcanoes have broad, low slopes and large craters, exemplified by Hawaiian volcanoes formed from numerous lava flows over great distances.
All about volcanoes
This document defines key terms related to volcanoes such as ash cloud, conduit, crust, lava, and magma chamber. It then describes volcanoes as vents that connect molten rock from within the Earth's crust to the surface. There are three main types of volcanoes: shield volcanoes which erupt fluid lava flows, cinder cone volcanoes which have a simple bowl shape, and composite volcanoes which develop from repeated eruptions and are the largest. The document provides examples of each type and diagrams depicting how volcanoes erupt through the conduit from the magma chamber.
Volcanoes - Lan Yan
There are three main types of volcanoes: composite volcanoes, cinder cone volcanoes, and shield volcanoes. Composite volcanoes are tall and explosive, producing lava flows, ash, and cinders. Cinder cone volcanoes are simple and bowl-shaped, characterized by cinders but no ash. Shield volcanoes are broad, flat, and round with craters and vents. Most volcanoes are located around the Pacific Ring of Fire.
The 3 volcano types
The document describes the three main types of volcanoes:
1) Cinder cone volcanoes are the simplest type, forming small, steep conical hills from accumulated cinder around the vent. Examples are Mt. Paricutin in Mexico and Sunset Crater in Arizona.
2) Composite volcanoes have steep, symmetrical cones like Mt. Fuji in Japan and Mt. Hood in Oregon.
3) Shield volcanoes have broad, gently sloping dome shapes resembling a warrior's shield, such as Mauna Loa and Kilauea in Hawaii.
Types of Volcanoes
Volcanoes form in different types depending on the composition of the magma and tectonic setting, with shield volcanoes being non-explosive and forming from basalt in oceanic settings, composite volcanoes sometimes having explosive eruptions from more viscous magma in continental settings, and cinder cones being the smallest from pyroclastic eruptions.
Volcanoes- Antionette
The document discusses the origin of the word volcano and the three main types of volcanoes: composite volcanoes, cinder cones, and shield volcanoes. It provides examples of children creating composite and cinder cone volcanoes with household materials. The concept of volcanoes is explained as vents in the earth's crust that allow magma and gases to escape, usually forming near boundaries where tectonic plates meet.
Volcano types
There are four main types of volcanoes: shield volcanoes form from layers of slow-erupting lava and are the largest; cinder-cone volcanoes eject ash and form small cones; composite-cone volcanoes alternate layers of lava and ash making them larger than cinder-cones; and volcanoes are commonly found at plate boundaries but can also form at hot spots from upwellings in the earth's mantle.
Volcanoes Grade 9
This document provides information about volcanoes and volcanic eruptions. It begins with a 10 question pre-assessment about volcanic characteristics and types. It then discusses the classification of volcanoes as active or inactive. Key details are provided about iconic Philippine volcanoes like Mayon and Taal. The different types of volcanic eruptions such as Plinian and Strombolian are described. Finally, the document discusses the factors that affect eruption style and provides signs of an impending eruption.
Why volcanoes erupt?
Volcanoes erupt due to tremendous pressure from magma building up in magma chambers under the earth's surface. The heat from the earth's core partially melts rock, forming new magma, which rises into magma chambers until the pressure causes it to burst through openings or craters in volcanoes. Eruptions can be violent if the magma is rich in gas and silica, or nonviolent if it contains less gas and silica. Volcanic eruptions can have both beneficial effects such as fertile soil and geothermal power, as well as harmful effects like loss of life from lava flows, damage to aircraft from ash plumes, and impacts on global climate from volcanic gases.
Intervention Material in Science: Types of Volcanoes
This document appears to be an intervention material for teaching about the three main types of volcanoes: cinder cones, composite volcanoes, and shield volcanoes. It includes descriptions of each type of volcano along with examples. There are also activity and assessment sections that ask students to classify volcanoes and illustrate similarities and differences between the three types in a Venn diagram. The overall goal seems to be helping students learn the distinguishing characteristics of cinder cones, composite volcanoes, and shield volcanoes.
classes of volcanoes
There are several main types of volcanoes classified based on their shape, eruptive behavior, and composition. Composite volcanoes, also known as stratovolcanoes, are conical mountains built up by viscous lava flows and explosive eruptions, examples being Mount St. Helens and Mount Pinatubo. Shield volcanoes are larger and less steeply sloped, constructed by fluid basaltic lava flows like those of Hawaii. Small cinder cones form from explosive eruptions of pyroclastic material. Fissure eruptions produce fluid lava flows from cracks in the crust along zones of weakness.
information on volcanoes
A volcano is an opening where molten rock emerges from underground. When a volcano erupts, magma is expelled and sometimes lava flows out or ash is blasted into the air. Volcanoes shape the Earth's surface and occur in places where the Earth's crust is cracked, allowing magma to bubble up. Major eruptions can influence climate for years by emitting gases and ash that scatter solar radiation and absorb heat, creating a cooling effect. Super volcanoes are extremely large volcanoes that could eject enough material to significantly impact the global climate during an eruption.
Volcanoes
Volcanoes are openings in the Earth's crust that eject lava, pyroclasts, and gases during eruptions. They consist of cones formed from accumulated volcanic materials and craters or calderas at the peak. Magma located below ground hardens into lava when it reaches the surface. Volcanoes can be cinder cones, shield cones, or composite cones depending on their composition and shape. They can be active, dormant, or extinct based on activity levels and pose dangers like gases, lava flows, and lahars during eruptions but also provide agricultural, energy, industrial, and tourism benefits.
Volcanoes
A volcano is a mountain that opens downward to a pool of molten rock below the surface of the earth. When pressure builds up, eruptions occur. Gases and rock shoot up through the opening and spill over or fill the air with lava fragments. Eruptions can cause lateral blasts, lava flows, hot ash flows, mudslides, avalanches, falling ash and floods. Volcano eruptions have been known to knock down entire forests. An erupting volcano can trigger tsunamis, flash floods, earthquakes, mudflows and rockfalls.
Types of volcanoes_geology
There are 3 main types of volcanoes: composite volcanoes, cinder cones, and shield volcanoes. There are also 5 special case volcanoes: caldera volcanoes, mega-volcanoes, spatter cones, dome volcanoes, and lava plateaus. The document discusses the characteristics of each type of volcano.
Volcanoes
Volcanoes form when magma forces its way through cracks in the Earth's crust. Over 8,000 people live near active volcanoes despite the danger, as the fertile soil produced by eruptions supports agriculture. Mauna Loa in Hawaii is the world's largest volcano and has been erupting continuously since 1984, allowing its activity to be observed from viewing platforms. Around 70% of the planet's active volcanoes are located along the Ring of Fire around the Pacific Ocean.
Volcanoes presentation
The document describes 6 volcanoes - Mt. Kiska, Mt. Iliamna, Carlisle, Kanaga Volcano, Kasatochi Volcano. Mt. Kiska and Mt. Iliamna are described as active stratovolcanoes located in Alaska. Carlisle is described as an inactive volcano located off Alaska's coast consisting of a single symmetric cone. Kanaga Volcano is described as an active composite cone located in the Aleutian Islands built of interbedded lava flows. Kasatochi Volcano is described as an inactive volcano located in the Aleutians represented by a dissected cone with a central crater.
Volcano
Volcanoes form when lava reaches the Earth's surface. There are three main types of volcanoes: shield volcanoes which have a gentle slope, cinder cones made of blown cinder, and composite volcanoes with layers of cinder and lava. Mount Shasta is described as a composite volcano that has erupted on average every 800 years over the last 10,000 years. Diamond Head is an eroded cinder cone volcano formed by explosions when magma hit ocean water. Kohala is identified as an extinct shield volcano on Hawaii that has not erupted for 60,000 years.
types of volcano.pptx
This document summarizes different types of volcanoes based on their activity, location, structure, and explosiveness. Volcanoes are classified as active, dormant, or extinct based on their recent eruptive history. Additional classifications include the volcano's shape as a shield cone, cinder cone, or composite/stratovolcano. Stratovocanoes are tall and cone-shaped volcanoes formed from layers of erupted materials. The document also provides examples of notable volcanoes that fit different classifications.
Volcanoes
Volcanoes form when magma rises up from below the Earth's surface and erupts through openings called vents. There are several types of volcanoes defined by their shape and eruption characteristics. Shield volcanoes have gentle slopes and erupt runny basalt lava, while composite volcanoes are steep-sided and erupt thicker, stickier magma in more explosive eruptions. Cinder cones erupt small fragments and form small, cone-shaped volcanoes. Lava domes form when thick lava piles up in mounds. Volcanoes are caused by the movement of tectonic plates, which can allow magma to rise up in between the plates. Geysers, which are hot springs

Preparing for Volcanic Emergencies
A volcano is generally a conical shaped hill or mountain built by accumulations of lava flows, tephra, and volcanic ash. About 95% of active volcanoes occur at the plate subduction zones and at the mid-oceanic ridges. The other 5% occur in areas associated with lithospheric hot spots. These hot spots have no direct relationships with areas of crustal creation or subduction zones. It is believed that hot spots are caused by plumes of rising magma that have their origin within the asthenosphere.
Over the last 2 million years, volcanoes have been depositing lava, tephra, and ash in particular areas of the globe. These areas occur at hot spots, rift zones, and along plate boundaries where tectonic subduction is taking place within the asthenosphere.
The most prevalent kinds of volcanoes on the Earth's surface are the kind which form the "Pacific Rim of Fire". Those are volcanoes which form as a result of subduction of the nearby lithosphere.
Volcanoes- CSEC GEOGRAPHY
Volcanoes form when magma reaches the surface of the Earth. They can be found along plate boundaries where magma is able to reach the surface. There are over 1300 potentially active volcanoes worldwide. Volcanoes have different features like craters, vents, and magma chambers. They also go through life cycle stages of being active, dormant, or extinct. Eruptions can produce different types of lava and ash deposits that build different types of volcanic cones over time. While volcanoes provide fertile soils and minerals, their eruptions can negatively impact the environment through poisonous gases, lava flows, ash falls, pyroclastic flows, and lahars that damage infrastructure and agriculture.
Volcanoes Information
Volcanoes form when magma rises from below the Earth's crust and erupts onto the surface. There are three main types of volcanoes: shield volcanoes which have gentle slopes and non-explosive eruptions, composite volcanoes which have steep slopes and more explosive eruptions, and super volcanoes which have massive eruptions over 1,000 cubic km. Volcanic eruptions can have both positive impacts such as fertilizing soils and negative impacts like killing people and damaging property. Scientists monitor volcanoes using techniques like seismometers and tilt meters to predict eruptions.
Characteristics of different volcanoes and their types
Volcanoes can be classified in several ways:
1) By frequency of eruption - active, dormant, or extinct
2) By shape and mode of eruption - shield, composite, caldera, cinder cone, lava domes
3) By lava composition - those with basic or acidic lava
Other types include supervolcanoes, flood basalt provinces, and submarine volcanoes. Volcanoes form due to pressure from magma escaping through cracks in the earth's crust.
volcano.ppt
1) Volcanoes form primarily at plate boundaries but some occur within plates due to mantle plumes. Their behavior depends on magma composition - mafic magmas erupt gently while intermediate to felsic magmas erupt explosively due to high viscosity and volatiles.
2) The most common volcano types are shield volcanoes which erupt large volumes of basalt, stratovolcanoes which have layered deposits from eruptions, and cinder cones which form small, steep cones of pyroclastic material.
3) Large explosive eruptions can inject ash into the atmosphere and lower global temperatures for years, as with the 1815 eruption of Tambora which inspired Mary

Volcanoes form when magma leaks through the earth's crust and onto the surface. The word "volcano" comes from the island of Vulcano near Italy, named for the Roman god of fire Vulcan. There are over 1500 active volcanoes on earth, located primarily on tectonic plate boundaries. The three main types of volcanoes are composite, cinder, and shield. When magma pushes through the crust, it can erupt violently or gently flow as lava, depending on the volcano type and magma viscosity.

All About Volcanoes
Volcanoes are remarkable geological structures formed by the eruption of molten rock, ash, and gases from the Earth's mantle. These natural phenomena can shape landscapes, create new landforms, and significantly impact both the environment and human societies. Understanding volcanoes involves exploring their types, formation processes, eruption mechanisms, and effects.
What is a Volcano?
A volcano is an opening in the Earth's crust through which magma, gases, and ash are expelled. When magma reaches the surface, it is called lava. Over time, repeated eruptions can build up a mountain or other landform around the volcanic vent.
Types of Volcanoes:
Shield Volcanoes:
Characteristics: Broad, gently sloping sides formed by the flow of low-viscosity basaltic lava that can travel long distances.
Examples: Mauna Loa and Kilauea in Hawaii.
Composite Volcanoes (Stratovolcanoes):
Characteristics: Steep, conical volcanoes made up of alternating layers of lava, ash, and volcanic debris. They are known for their explosive eruptions.
Examples: Mount Fuji in Japan, Mount St. Helens in the USA, and Mount Vesuvius in Italy.
Cinder Cone Volcanoes:
Characteristics: Small, steep-sided cones built from volcanic fragments such as ash, tephra, and volcanic rocks ejected during eruptions.
Examples: Parícutin in Mexico and Sunset Crater in the USA.
Lava Domes:
Characteristics: Rounded, steep-sided mounds formed by the slow extrusion of viscous lava.
Examples: Mount St. Helens’ Lava Dome in the USA.
Volcanic Features:
Crater:
Description: A bowl-shaped depression at the summit of a volcano, typically formed by explosive eruptions.
Caldera:
Description: A large depression formed when a volcano's summit collapses or is blown away during a massive eruption.
Examples: Yellowstone Caldera in the USA.
Lava Flows:
Description: Streams of molten rock that pour from a volcanic vent and solidify as they cool.
Pyroclastic Flows:
Description: Fast-moving currents of hot gas and volcanic material that can travel down the sides of a volcano during explosive eruptions.
Volcanic Ash:
Description: Fine particles of pulverized rock and glass created during volcanic eruptions that can travel long distances.
Formation of Volcanoes:
Subduction Zones:
Description: Volcanoes often form at convergent plate boundaries where an oceanic plate subducts beneath a continental plate, leading to magma formation.
Examples: The Ring of Fire around the Pacific Ocean.
Rift Zones:
Description: Volcanoes can also form at divergent plate boundaries where tectonic plates are pulling apart, allowing magma to rise.
Examples: Mid-Atlantic Ridge and East African Rift.
Hotspots:
Description: Volcanic activity that occurs away from plate boundaries, caused by plumes of hot material rising from deep within the mantle.
Examples: Hawaiian Islands and Yellowstone.

Volcanoes form when magma leaks through the earth's crust and onto the surface. There are over 1500 active volcanoes worldwide, with most located around the Pacific Ring of Fire. Volcanoes are classified as active, dormant, or extinct depending on recent eruption activity. The three main types are composite, cinder, and shield volcanoes. The largest active volcano is Mauna Loa in Hawaii. Other planets like Mars and Jupiter's moon Io also have volcanoes.

Volcanoes form when magma leaks through the earth's crust and onto the surface. The word "volcano" comes from Vulcan, the Roman god of fire believed to live within volcanoes. There are over 1500 active volcanoes worldwide, with most located along tectonic plate boundaries in the "Ring of Fire" in the Pacific Ocean. The three main types of volcanoes are composite, cinder, and shield volcanoes, which erupt in different ways.
Volcanoes
Volcanoes form at plate boundaries where tectonic plates are diverging or converging. There are three main types of volcanoes based on location: shield volcanoes at divergent boundaries, stratovolcanoes at subduction zones, and hotspots formed by mantle plumes. Volcanoes pose hazards from lava flows, explosions, and ashfall. Classification systems describe volcanoes based on activity levels from dormant to active. Monitoring systems use alert levels and colors to communicate volcanic unrest and eruptions.
Types of Volcanoes.ppt
This document describes different types of volcanoes including composite volcanoes, shield volcanoes, cinder cones, and spatter cones. Composite volcanoes are tall and conical, built up from layers of lava and rock fragments. Shield volcanoes are wide and gently sloping due to fluid basaltic lava. Cinder cones form steep hills above vents and are built from ejected lava fragments. Spatter cones consist of welded lava clots that form around vents. Volcanic eruptions depend on factors like silica and water content, which influence lava viscosity and explosivity. Eruptions can range from gentle lava flows to violent ejections of pyroclastic material.

This document discusses different types of volcanoes including composite volcanoes, shield volcanoes, cinder cones, and spatter cones. Composite volcanoes are formed from layers of lava and rock fragments, while shield volcanoes are formed from fluid basaltic lava flows. Cinder cones are steep, conical hills formed from ejected lava fragments, and spatter cones are accumulations of spatter clots that form around individual vents. The document also covers volcanic eruptions, impacts, and how volcanoes erupt by forcing magma through conduits and vents in various eruption styles.

Presentation of Group 2 - Topic Volcanoes
A volcano is a rupture in a planet's crust that allows magma, ash, and gases to escape from underground. They form at tectonic plate boundaries and underwater, with about 1,500 potentially active worldwide. Volcanoes are classified as active, dormant, or extinct based on recent eruptions. The three main types are cinder cones made of pyroclastic debris, shield volcanoes built from fluid lava, and composite or stratovolcanoes with steep sides formed from viscous lava. The 1815 eruption of Mount Tambora in Indonesia was the largest in recorded history, killing over 10,000 and contributing to global climate changes and crop failures for years after.
Volcanoes and Earthquakes
The document discusses different types of volcanoes and how they can change Earth's surface quickly. It describes cinder cone, shield cone, and composite cone volcanoes. Cinder cones are small and circular, forming from ejected cinders. Shield cones are large and shield-shaped, building up from lava flows. Composite cones like Mount St. Helens are steep-sided and cone-shaped, often erupting explosively due to trapped viscous magma. Volcanoes can quickly change Earth's surface through lava flows and explosive eruptions that spread rock and ash over wide areas.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

- 3. Volcanic cones or cinder cones are the result from eruptions that erupt mostly small pieces of scoria and pyroclastics (both resemble cinders, hence the name of this volcano type) that build up around the vent. These can be relatively short-lived eruptions that produce a cone-shaped hill perhaps 30 to 400 meters high. Most cinder cones erupt only once. Cinder cones may form as flank vents on larger volcanoes, or occur on their own. Parícutin in Mexico and Sunset Crater in Arizona are examples of cinder cones. In New Mexico, Caja del Rio is a volcanic field of over 60 cinder cones.
- 4. Stratovolcanoes or composite volcanoes are tall conical mountains composed of lava flows and other ejecta in alternate layers, the strata that give rise to the name. Stratovolcanoes are also known as composite volcanoes, created from several structures during different kinds of eruptions. Strato/composite volcanoes are made of cinders, ash and lava. Cinders and ash pile on top of each other, lava flows on top of the ash, where it cools and hardens, and then the process begins again. Classic examples include Mt. Fuji in Japan, Mayon Volcano in the Philippines, and Mount Vesuvius and Stromboli in Italy. In recorded history, explosive eruptions by stratovolcanoes have posed the greatest hazard to civilizations, as ash is produced by an explosive eruption. No supervolcano erupted in recorded history.
- 5. Subglacial volcanoes develop underneath icecaps. They are made up of flat lava which flows at the top of extensive pillow lavas and palagonite. When the icecap melts, the lavas on the top collapse, leaving a flat-topped mountain. These volcanoes are also called table mountains, tuyas or (uncommonly) mobergs. Very good examples of this type of volcano can be seen in Iceland, however, there are also tuyas in British Columbia. The origin of the term comes from Tuya Butte, which is one of the several tuyas in the area of the Tuya River and Tuya Range in northern British Columbia. Tuya Butte was the first such landform analyzed and so its name has entered the geological literature for this kind of volcanic formation. The Tuya Mountains Provincial Park was recently established to protect this unusual landscape, which lies north of Tuya Lake and south of the Jennings River near the boundary with the Yukon Territory.
- 6. An eruption begins when pressure on a magma chamber forces magma up through the conduit and out the volcano's vents. When the magma chamber has been completely filled, the type of eruption partly depends on the amount of gases and silica in the magma. The amount of silica determines how sticky (level of viscosity) the magma is and water provides the explosive potential of steam.
