ES Chapter 10 Review

Underground igneous bodies are called

• lava flows

• plutons

• volcanoes

• calderas

The greatest volume of volcanic material is produced by

• eruptions of cinder cones

• eruptions of composite cones

• eruptions along ocean ridges

• eruptions of shield volcanoes

The most explosive type of volcanic activity is associated with

• cinder cones

• sills

• composite cones

• shield volcanoes

A magma's viscosity is directly related to its

• depth

• age

• color

• silica content

What are the pulverized rock, lava, ash, and other fragments ejected from a vent of a volcano called?

• sills

• craters

• pahoehoes

• pyroclastic material
