A volcano is a vent in the Earth's surface that allows magma, lava, gases, and pieces of rock to erupt out. Volcanoes occur near the boundaries of the Earth's tectonic plates as they push together or pull apart. They can be active and currently erupting, dormant if not erupting recently but capable of future eruptions, or extinct if no future eruptions are expected.

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.
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.
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 intro
Volcanoes come in different types and erupt in various ways. They form where tectonic plates meet in the Earth's crust. The main types are shield volcanoes which erupt fluid lava flows, composite volcanoes which alternate between explosive eruptions and lava flows, and cinder cone volcanoes which erupt ash and cinders. Volcanoes can be active, dormant, or extinct depending on how recently they have erupted.
Volcanoes and volcanic erruptions
The document provides information about different types of volcanoes and volcanic features including:
- Shield volcanoes which are built by basalt lava flows and have gentle slopes.
- Lava domes which are built by thick, viscous lava that cools too quickly to flow very far from the eruption.
- Cinder cones which are steep sided hills made of volcanic fragments blown from eruptions of stratovolcanoes.
- Stratovolcanoes which have steep sides and are formed by violent eruptions of lava flows, tephra, and pyroclastic flows from multiple vents.
- Mud volcanoes which form from eruptions of wet
Volcano powerpoint #2
A volcano is a mountain that erupts, ejecting lava, rock fragments, gases, and vapor from the earth's crust. Volcanoes erupt due to differences in density that cause magma to rise toward the surface. An eruption occurs when pressure in the magma chamber forces magma up through the conduit and out of the vent. Volcanoes are caused by magma rising to the earth's surface, where gas bubbles form and build pressure until the volcano explodes.
Volcanism
Volcanology is the study of volcanoes, lava, magma, and related geological phenomena. A volcano forms when magma rises from deep in the Earth's mantle and erupts on the surface. As more magma rises, it forms a magma chamber and conduit leading to a vent. Eruptions through the vent build the volcano over time. There are four main types of volcanism related to mid-ocean ridges, subduction zones, hotspots, and flood volcanism. Heat sources for volcanism include radioactive decay, accretion during planetary formation, tidal effects, and core formation deep within the Earth.
Factors affecting the impact of volcanoes
Factors such as: Types of Volcanic material ejected, The types of eruptions, and geographical location of a place are some of the factors that affect the impact of volcanoes
Prentice Hall Earth Science ch10 volcanoes
The document discusses factors that affect the violence of volcanic eruptions including the composition, temperature, and dissolved gases of magma. More viscous magma produces more violent eruptions as gases cannot escape as easily. There are three main types of volcanoes - shield volcanoes formed from fluid basaltic lava, cinder cones formed from pyroclastic material from a single vent, and composite cones which are the most violent type formed from both lava and pyroclastic material. The document also briefly mentions plutons, which are intrusive igneous rocks that form from cooling magma underground.
Volcanoes
This document defines volcanoes as openings in the Earth's crust that allow molten rock and gases to escape. It notes that over half of the world's active volcanoes above sea level are located along the Ring of Fire. Volcanoes form when tectonic plates collide, spread apart, or interact under a plate. The parts of a volcano include the crater, pipe, cone, and vent. There are three main types of volcanoes: composite/strato volcanoes, shield volcanoes, and cinder cone volcanoes. Volcanic eruptions can have both beneficial effects like adding nutrients to soil or creating new islands, and harmful effects like releasing aerosols or abandoning land.
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.
Types of Volcanoes
There are three main types of volcanoes that form from different geological processes:
1) Hotspot volcanoes like those in Hawaii form when magma rises from a hotspot in the mantle as a tectonic plate moves over it. Eruptions are less explosive due to fluid magma.
2) Shield volcanoes form at divergent plate boundaries and from hotspots, with low, wide shapes from fluid basaltic magma.
3) Composite volcanoes form at convergent plate boundaries, where one plate subducts under another. They have steep sides due to more viscous magma and explosive eruptions, producing hazards like pyroclastic flows and lahars.
Volcanoes
Volcanoes form when molten magma forces its way through cracks in the Earth's crust. They can take cone shapes but also other forms. The melted rock that emerges from the volcano's crater is called lava, which destroys everything in its path due to its extreme heat. Most volcanoes occur on land, but some exist on the ocean floor and can emerge from the water if tall enough. Volcanoes erupt when magma and gases find a way to escape through vents to the surface. Eruptions can be gentle or violent.

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
Earth Science 6.1 : Volcanic Eruptions
This document discusses volcanic eruptions, describing the differences between nonexplosive and explosive eruptions. Nonexplosive eruptions produce slow lava flows while explosive eruptions blast debris into the air. The type of eruption depends on the composition of the magma, particularly its silica, water, and gas content. Magma erupts as either lava or pyroclastic material like volcanic ash, bombs, and blocks.

Volcanoes form when magma rises up from the Earth's mantle and crust and erupts. There are three main types of volcanoes defined by their activity level - active volcanoes that are currently erupting or may erupt soon, dormant volcanoes that have not erupted in a long time, and extinct volcanoes that have not erupted for over 10,000 years. Volcanic eruptions expel gases, ash, lava, and other materials from the vent of the volcano. The movement of tectonic plates is responsible for volcanism in many parts of the world.
VOLCANIC ERUPTIONS
The document organizes information about volcanic eruptions into different types: effusive, explosive, Hawaiian, Strombolian, Vulcanian, Surtseyan, and Plinian. Hawaiian eruptions emit fluid basalt lava jets from vents or fissures that can travel miles as flows. Strombolian eruptions burst lava from summit conduits in irregular explosions producing spatter, scoria, lava bombs, ash, and flows. Plinian eruptions are the largest and most violent, caused by gassy magma fragmentation, with ash drifting very long distances in extremely destructive eruptions often followed by climatic inactivity.

This document discusses volcanoes, including how they form, the different types of volcanoes, and where they are located. It provides details on four main types of volcanoes: cinder cones, composite volcanoes, shield volcanoes, and lava domes. Cinder cones are simple structures built from ejected cinders. Composite volcanoes are large symmetrical cones made of layers of material. Shield volcanoes are broad structures composed of fluid lava flows. Lava domes are small, bulbous masses that pile over the vent. Volcanoes can be located both under water and on land.

Volcanoes are openings in the earth's crust that eject lava, pyroclasts, and gases during eruptions. There are three main types of volcanoes: shield volcanoes, cinder cone volcanoes, and composite or stratovolcanoes. Cinder cone volcanoes are small, steep-sided hills made of loose cinders ejected during eruptions. Volcanic eruptions can be either explosive or violent, ejecting pyroclasts and ash, or quiet and non-explosive, with gentle lava flows.

- 3. A volcano is a vent or 'chimney' that connects molten rock (magma) to the Earth's surface. It includes the surrounding cone of built-up material. Magma erupting from a volcano is called lava. Gases and pieces of rock erupt from volcanoes too A volcano is active if it erupts lava, releases gas or shows seismic activity. It is dormant if it hasn't erupted for a long time but could again one day. An extinct volcano will never erupt again.
- 4. •Volcanoes occur because the Earth's crust is broken into plates. •There are 16 major plates. • These rigid plates float on a softer layer of rock in the Earth's mantle. • As the plates move about they push together or pull apart. • Most volcanoes occur near the edges of plates.
