How are volcanoes formed?
![Page 3: VOLCANOES!!](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062305/56814d69550346895dbab4ea/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
- Volcanoes and Plate Tectonics
Volcanoes and Plate Boundaries
• Volcanic belts form along the boundaries of Earth’s plates.
![Page 4: VOLCANOES!!](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062305/56814d69550346895dbab4ea/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Volcanoes and Plate Boundaries•Volcanoes often form where two oceanic plates collide or where an oceanic plate collides with a continental plate. In both situations, an oceanic plate sinks through a trench. Rock above the plate melts to form magma, which then erupts to the surface as lava.
- Volcanoes and Plate Tectonics
![Page 5: VOLCANOES!!](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062305/56814d69550346895dbab4ea/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
What is a Volcano??A volcano is where magma breaks through the surface of the earth. There are three types of volcanoes. Each volcano is different based on the kind of lava it contains and how it erupts.
![Page 6: VOLCANOES!!](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062305/56814d69550346895dbab4ea/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Magma Reaches Earth’s Surface
• When a volcano erupts, the force of the expanding gases pushes magma from the magma chamber through the pipe until it flows or explodes out of the vent. Magma is called lava when it reaches the Earth’s surface.
- Volcanic Eruptions
![Page 7: VOLCANOES!!](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062305/56814d69550346895dbab4ea/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
COMPOSITE VOLCANOES! These volcanoes form over subduction zones Quiet eruptions alternate with explosive eruptions
form alternating layers of lava and ash.
![Page 8: VOLCANOES!!](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062305/56814d69550346895dbab4ea/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
COMPOSITE VOLCANOES!- Composite volcanoes typically have very violent
eruptions with large pyroclastic flows (explosive eruption that hurls out a mixture of hot gases, ash, cinders, and bombs) and ash clouds
- The magma in these volcanoes is very thick, causing the build up of gasses. This pressure is what “pops” off the top of the volcano, causing huge eruptions
This is a composite volcano.
Notice the steep sides and ash erupting from the vent.
Mt. St. Helens and Mt.Pinatubo are composite volcanoes
![Page 9: VOLCANOES!!](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062305/56814d69550346895dbab4ea/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
This is the 1991 eruption of Mt. Pinatubo in the Phillipines. It is a composite volcano.
Notice the huge ash cloud.
Ash clouds can:
-lower avg. global temperatures
-affect the weather
- cause engine failure in airplanes

ASHFALL FOSSIL BEDS!A huge volcano in southeast Idaho erupted 11 million years ago, and the ash was carried in the atmosphere and buried animals living near a watering hole in Nebraska. The picture below is a rhinoceros that suffocated to death and was buried by the ash. Ashfall is sometimes called “Pompeii of the Plains”.

Lahars = MudflowsOne dangerous side effect of explosive eruptions are lahars, or mudflows.

POMPEII!Mt. Vesuvius erupted in 79 A.D burying the towns of Pompeii and Herculaneum near Naples, Italy.
Looking down a main streetin Pompeii towards MountVesuvius.

Pompeii!The 79 A.D. eruption of Mount Vesuvius came 17 years
after a violent earthquake caused extreme damage and killed many people in Pompeii. Below is a body cast and artifacts from the excavation of Pompeii.
![Page 18: VOLCANOES!!](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062305/56814d69550346895dbab4ea/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Body casts are madewhen archaeologists pourliquid plaster into thehollows left in the ashwhere the bodies haddecomposed.
Many died here trying toflee. Unfortunately, thecity wall blocked theirescape.
Notice the propped up person at the end. There were animal body casts as
well (hard to see in this picture).

Talk to your table
What would you have done if you were a resident of
Pompeii?
![Page 20: VOLCANOES!!](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062305/56814d69550346895dbab4ea/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
SHIELD VOLCANOES!Form over hot spots
Quiet eruptions gradually build up to form a gently sloping mountain.
![Page 21: VOLCANOES!!](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062305/56814d69550346895dbab4ea/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
SHIELD VOLCANOES!-Their lava is very fluid because the gasses can escape more easily from the magma.
-Because the lava flows quickly it creates a broad, gently sloping volcano that resembles a Hawaiian warrior’s shield.
This is a shield volcano.
Notice the gentle slopes.
Examples:
Kilauea & Mauna Loa in Hawaii
![Page 22: VOLCANOES!!](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062305/56814d69550346895dbab4ea/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
HOT SPOTS!- a heat source deep within the mantle, 100-200 km across, and persistent for millions of years
- thought to be the result of a rising plume of magma from the mantle
- an example is Yellowstone National Park and the Hawaiian Islands
Shield volcanoes
form over hot spots.

The Galapagos Islands were also created over a hot spot!!

Talk to your table
Tell each other how a hotspot volcano is formed. If you need
more details to help you understand, look on page 203 of
the textbook.

A volcanic eruption on Hawaii
![Page 28: VOLCANOES!!](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062305/56814d69550346895dbab4ea/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
The lava fountain is about 25 meters in the air, but is relatively non-explosive compared to the eruption of a composite volcano. The Hawaiian islands were build up from the sea floor in this way.
Joe’s Hill is a shield volcano directly to the east of the Sunset Point rest stop on I-17 north of Phoenix.
![Page 29: VOLCANOES!!](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062305/56814d69550346895dbab4ea/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
This is an example of basalt. Basalt is the type of lava found erupting from shield volcanoes. Basalt is non-explosive, and erupts from the volcano and then flows down the volcano such as in the picture above. There are large deposits of basalt in Arizona near Flagstaff, and the Hawaiian Islands are composed of basalt.

This hot spring at Yellowstone gets its heat from the hot spot below the ground. The hot springs are so hot that they constantly steam, and will severely burn your skin if you put your hand in them.
This is a photograph of Old Faithful, a geyser at Yellowstone National park. It is caused by heat from a hot spot below the surface.
![Page 33: VOLCANOES!!](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062305/56814d69550346895dbab4ea/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Talk to your table
Some people think that there is a super-volcano underneath Old
Faithful.
Do you think it is a super-volcano or just a hotspot that is heating up the
water below?

CINDER CONE VOLCANO!
Forms off of other volcanoes (their violent eruptions of lava create new volcanoes) .
Ash, cinders, and bombs erupt explosively to form a cone-shaped hill.
![Page 35: VOLCANOES!!](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062305/56814d69550346895dbab4ea/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Cinder Cone Volcanoes-Smallest type of volcano
-When in the air, the lava breaks apart into small pieces called cinders.
-The cinders accumulate into a cone around the volcano’s central vent.
![Page 36: VOLCANOES!!](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062305/56814d69550346895dbab4ea/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)

Paricutin - Mexico• In 1943, a cinder cone volcano suddenly
formed in a farmer’s cornfield. After one week, the volcano was 5 stories high! By the end of the first year, 1,102 feet tall!

Mid-Ocean Ridge!- A Mid-Ocean Ridge is an area in the ocean floor where two crustal plates are spreading away from each other due to convection cells in the mantle.
- Lava erupts from mid-ocean ridge and if underwater the lava forms ‘pillow basalts’, named for their shape
The mid-ocean ridge is happening at the location labeled ‘Ridge’
