Volcanoes

How are volcanoes formed?

• the cooling of lava on the surface.

• the movement of tectonic plates away from each other.

• when sediment builds up over time without any volcanic activity.

• when magma seeps through the crust and moves through a vent to expel the magma and gas

What is a Hot Spot Volcano?

• A volcano that erupts due to tectonic plate movement.
• A type of volcano that forms at the edge of continents.
• areas where magma rises to the surface that occurs somewhere within a plate boundary

• A volcano that is formed by underwater lava flows.

What are convergent boundary volcanoes?

• Volcanoes that form at divergent tectonic plate boundaries due to rifting.
• Volcanoes that form form when one tectonic plate is forced beneath another at convergent plate boundaries

• Volcanoes that are created by the collision of two continental plates without subduction.
• Volcanoes that occur in the middle of tectonic plates far from any boundaries.

What is a stratovolcano?

• A stratovolcano is a steep, conical volcano, known for explosive eruptions.

• A stratovolcano is a volcano that primarily erupts water and steam.
• A stratovolcano is a type of volcano that erupts only once in its lifetime.
• A stratovolcano is a flat, shield-shaped volcano formed by low-viscosity lava.

What are cinder cone volcanoes?

• Cinder cone volcanoes are steep, conical hills formed from volcanic debris ejected from a single vent.
• Cinder cone volcanoes are underwater formations created by tectonic activity.
• Cinder cone volcanoes are formed from the accumulation of ash and gas without any solid debris.
• Cinder cone volcanoes are large, flat structures formed by lava flows.

What are shield volcanoes?

• Volcanoes that primarily erupt ash and pyroclastic material.
• Shield volcanoes are large, broad volcanoes with gentle slopes formed by slow moving lava flows.

• Tall, steep volcanoes formed by explosive eruptions.
• Small, conical volcanoes with steep slopes.

What is most dangerous about volcanoes regarding how they can impact humans?

• The color of volcanoes can indicate the type of danger humans will be in

• Volcanoes only affect the environment not humans

• Volcanoes do not impact humans

• Volcanic ash can create harmful air quality
