Which of the following is not part of a volcano?

PipeVentNeckCrater3Category 1 - 10Scientists are not yet able to definitely predict when a volcano will erupt, but they can often feel it coming. How?What are the two types of Volcanic Eruptions?

Back to MenuWhich of the following is not part of a volcano?

PipeVentNeckCraterA location where magma burns through the crust like a blow torch is called

Magma is molten rock that has not reached Earths surface.Lava is on Earths surface.Back to MenuWhat does this picture represent? Describe it.

Back to MenuMagma flows from the magma chamber up the Pipe. The Vent connects the Pipe and the Crater, the bowl-shaped area where lava collects.Explain how a Caldera forms.How does an Island Arc form? Give an example of one.How are the Pipe, Vent and Crater related?7

What dangerous hazard could this snowy volcano create?DAILY DOUBLE!

What are the 3 types of Volcanoes? Explain how they are different.What are the stages of a volcanos life cycle?What are these two features? How are they similar? Different?

A Lahar, a destructive mudslide caused by rapidly melting snow that picks up debris as it flows.Describe the projectiles ejected from a volcano.How does Silica affect Viscosity of magma? How does Viscosity affect the type of eruption and why?What are structures A and B? What do they have in common.

The largest known volcano is

Viscosity is a fluids resistance to flow. Water has low viscosity, syrup has high viscosity.

Shield: gentle slope, low pressure, and quiet eruptions.Cinder Cone : steep slopes, high pressure, explosive eruptions.Composite: not as gentle as shield, not as steep as cinder; both quiet & explosive eruptions.Back to Menu

More Silica increases Viscosity . High Viscosity means explosive eruption because gases trying to escape the magma must FORCE their way out like opening a stubborn bag of chips.Back to Menu

Final JeopardySill is a horizontal layer of hardened magma. A Dike is a vertical layer.

A Caldera forms when a volcano erupts and empties its magma chamber, it collapses. The pit left behind can fill with water.Back to Menu

A volcano that is live and shows signs of erupting in the future is called Active.A sleeping, potentially active volcano is Dormant.A volcano that is unlikely to erupt again is called Extinct.Back to Menu

A is a Batholith.B is a Volcanic Neck. Both form as magma cools and solidifies into rock.Back to Menu

A Hot Spot.

A hot spot forms an island. The plate moves along like a conveyor belt, creating a string of islands Hawaii.Back to Menu

A Hot Spring and Geyser, both heated by magma near the surface. Pressure builds up underneath a Geyser, causing gas to rush up and shoot water.Back to Menu

Olympus Mons, located on Mars. As large as the entire state of Ohio.Back to Menu
