Chapter 10 part 3 Volcanoes Quiz

What are the three main types of volcanoes?

• Stratovolcanoes, lava domes, and calderas

• Shield volcanoes, cinder cones, and composite cones

• Supervolcanoes, fissure volcanoes, and submarine volcanoes

• Lava plateaus, volcanic plugs, and volcanic necks

What is a volcano?

• A mountain formed of lava and/or pyroclastic material

• A type of rock formed from volcanic ash

• A vent that releases gas-rich magma

• A large crater caused by a meteorite impact

What is a conduit?

• A type of volcanic eruption

• A pipe that carries gas-rich magma to the surface

• A depression at the summit of a volcano

• A type of volcanic rock

What is a crater?

• A vent that releases gas-rich magma

• A type of volcanic rock

• A type of volcanic eruption

• A depression at the summit of a volcano or caused by a meteorite impact

What is the anatomy of a 'typical' volcano?

• A crater, conduit, and magma chamber

• A shield volcano, cinder cone, and composite cone

• A stratovolcano, lava dome, and caldera

• A supervolcano, fissure volcano, and submarine volcano

What are the main types of volcanic eruptions?

• Effusive eruptions and explosive eruptions

• Plinian eruptions and phreatomagmatic eruptions

• Strombolian eruptions and Hawaiian eruptions

• Pyroclastic eruptions and basaltic eruptions

What is the nature of volcanic eruptions?

• The release of magma, gases, and pyroclastic material from a volcano

• The formation of a crater at the summit of a volcano

• The cooling and solidification of lava

• The movement of tectonic plates causing volcanic activity

What are shield volcanoes?

• Volcanoes formed by the accumulation of volcanic ash

• Volcanoes formed by underwater volcanic activity

• Steep-sided volcanoes with explosive eruptions

• Gentle sloping volcanoes with fluid lava flows

What are cinder cones?

• Small, steep-sided volcanoes made of pyroclastic material

• Large, dome-shaped volcanoes with viscous lava flows

• Volcanoes formed by the accumulation of volcanic ash

• Volcanoes formed by underwater volcanic activity

What are composite cones?

• Volcanoes formed by the accumulation of volcanic ash

• Volcanoes formed by underwater volcanic activity

• Volcanoes with gentle sloping sides and fluid lava flows

• Volcanoes with alternating layers of lava and pyroclastic material
