Volcano Review

A  line of volcanic activity that surrounds the Pacific Ocean basin is the 

• Ring of Fire
• Aleutian Islands
• Hawaiian Islands
• Caribbean Islands

This volcano is most likely which type of volcano?

• Felsic
• Composite
• Shield
• Cinder cone

What is a determining factor in which type of eruption will occur?

• the chemistry of the magma
• the size of the mountain
• the climate around the volcano
• the number of people living near the volcano

Once magma reaches the earth's surface it is called.....

• Silica
• Rock
• lava

A huge hole that is left behind when a volcano collapses is called a

• Batholith
• Caldera
• Geyser

A  place above a mantle plume where melted rock can form a volcano is a 

• fissure
• mantle plume
• hotspot
• volcano

An  example of islands that formed over a hotspot are the

• Aleutian Islands
• Hawaiian Islands

Stratovolcanoes can be described as...

• Very large with gentle slopes and eruptions of low viscosity magma
• Large with steep slopes and violent eruptions of very viscous magma
• Small and clustered in groups with steep slopes and firey eruptions that occur only once

Cinder cones can be described as...

• Very large with gentle slopes and eruptions of low viscosity magma
• Large with steep slopes and violent eruptions of very viscous magma
• Small and clustered in groups with steep slopes and firey eruptions that occur only once

Most volcanoes occur 

• oceanic/continental convergent
• oceanic/oceanic convergent
• transform boundary
• oceanic/continental divergent
