What is the relationship between craters, calderas, vents, and
magma? Magma can flow through all these land forms and they
form around each other.
How does a crater lake form? (words and pictures) Numerous
volcanic eruptions
What two factors does a volcanos appearance depend upon?
What characteristics vary among volcanoes? It depends on types
of materials that form the volcano and the type of eruption. They
differ in size, shape, and composition.
Complete the following table in your notes:
Type of Volcano Materials &
Description
Sketch Example
Shield
Layer upon layer of
basaltic lava.
Mountain with
broad sloping sides


Mauna Loa
Cinder-Cone
Large amount of
gases, magma has
more water and
silica. Steep sides
and generally small


The Izalco
Volcano
Composite
(Stratovolcano)
Layers of volcanic
fragments
alternate with lava.
Larger than cinder-
cone and also
contains larger
amounts of water,
gas, and silica than
shield

Mt. Helen and Mt.
Rainer

How do the volcanoes compare in terms of size and slope? Shield
is the largest and cinder-cone is the smallest. Cinder-Cone has
steep slopes and shield has gentle slopes.
What factors cause differences in size and slope? Different
materials, vegetation, climate, and eruptive history
What is tephra? Rock fragments thrown into the air during a
volcanic eruption
What is a pyroclastic flow? Rapidly moving volcanic material
Where are most volcanoes found? Convergent Plate Boundaries
Use the maps provided to show: (1) the Circum Pacific Belt and the
Mediterranean Belt where convergent volcanism occur and (2) the
Hawaiian Emperor Volcanic Chain.
How do hotspots form? Unusual hot regions in Earths mantle
causing high-temp plumes of mantle to rise up
What do hotspots tell us about tectonic plates? Rate and
direction of motion can be calculated be the position of the
volcanoes
