Quarter 3 – Module 1: Types and Characteristics of Volcanoes

What is a volcano?

• A large storm with very high speed wind
• A large cloud that generates rain, hail, and lighting
• An opening in the Earth’s crust where magma erupts to the surface
• A violent shaking of the Earth that occurs when two tectonic plates bump into each other

What do we call molten hot liquid rock while it is still below the Earth’s surface?

• Lava
• Magma
• Igneous
• Mauna

What do we call molten hot liquid rock once it erupts to the Earth’s surface?

• Cinder
• Igneous
• Magma
• Mauna

What kinds of rocks are formed when lava from a volcano cools?

• Meteorites
• Magma rocks
• Igneous rocks
• Sedimentary rocks

Which of the following descriptions describe a dormant volcano?

• Volcano that is currently erupting
• A volcano that has erupted in recent history
• A volcano that scientists believe will never erupt again
• A volcano that has not erupted in a long time but may erupt again

• Composite volcanoes

What type of volcanoes can sometimes form inside another volcano?

• Lava domes

What type of volcanoes are formed from lava ejected from a single vent at the top but they don’t get taller than around 1,000 feet?

• Lava domes
• Cinder cones
