Active Volcano…
Kilauea Volcano is presently one of the most active volcanoes on Earth.

Dormant “Sleeping” Volcano
Dormant Volcano: A volcano which is presently inactive but which may erupt again. Most of the major Cascade volcanoes are believed
to be dormant rather than extinct.

Extinct Volcano
Extinct Volcano: A volcano that is not presently erupting and is not likely to do so for a very long time in the future.

Where do volcanoes form?
![Page 6: A volcano is a mountain that forms when molten rock is forced to the Earth’s surface. Volcanoes can by active, dormant, or extinct](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d125503460f949e62a1/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
1. Volcanoes form when hot material from below rises and leaks into the crust.
2. Eventually, but not always, the magma erupts onto the surface. Strong earthquakes accompany rising magma.

Parícutin, Mexico, 1943
• In the winter of 1943, the countryside near Parícutin, Mexico was rocked by a series of earthquakes. The tremors lasted for nearly two weeks when a fissure open in a farmer's field and the birth of cinder cone was underway. Within 12 hours of the initial eruption, the fissure was ejecting pyroclastic material as well as huge clouds of gas and ash. Lava began to spill from the base of the cone building the volcano laterally.

Parícutin, Mexico, 1943
• Within 24 hours a 40 meter high cone hurling volcanic bombs several kilometers away had been built.
• After nine years of activity, two villages had been buried

Anatomy of a Volcano…
Vent - The opening through which the molten rock flows onto the surface.
Crater- A bowl-shaped depression at the mouth of a volcano
Magma chamber -A large underground pool of molten rock lying under the surface of the earth's crust

What is the difference between magma and lava??
Magma – molten rock deep inside the earth.
Lava – molten rock on the earth’s surface.

II. What erupts from a volcano?
• Gases:
Water Vapor, Carbon Dioxide, Sulfur Dioxide, Nitrogen, Hydrogen, Argon
• Rock Fragments:
Dust, ash, bombs, and blocks
• LAVA!!

IV. Types of Lava and Rock
Fragments
Pahoehoe - Smooth, wrinkled lava
aa – Sharp, jagged lava

Pillow Lava…
Pillow lava – forms on the ocean floor and cools into rounded blobs.

In Greek:
Pyro – “fire” Clastic – “Broken”
