which magma and other materials
reach the surface
IV. Vent –

sometimes has more than one.

7. I. Cinder cones – made mostly
of cinders and rock particles
a. Explosive eruptions
b. Not high but have a narrow
base and steep sides

Some volcanoes erupt regularly, others
haven’t erupted with in modern history.
Active volcano – is one that erupts
either continually or periodically.
Dormant volcano – one that has been
known to erupt in modern history but is
inactive now.
Extinct volcano – one that has not
been known to erupt in modern history
14. I. Most major earthquakes and
volcanic eruptions occur in three
zones of the world. Scientists believe
that there is great deal of movement
and activity in the Earth’s crust in
these zones.
15. II. Ring of Fire – zone goes through the edge
New Zealand, the Philippines, Japan, Alaska,
and along the western coast of North and
South America.
Mediterranean Zone – extends across Asia
into India
III. Iceland to the middle of the Atlantic Ocean
Iv. Mid-Atlantic Ridge – long mountain range of
volcanic mountains under the Atlantic Ocean
V. New parts of the Earth are forming in this
area.
