side of a volcano collapses into the old magma chamber

(Stratovolcano) cone, silica
water and
gases

How do the volcanoes compare in terms of size and slope?
Shield is the largest and cinder has the steepest slope
What factors cause differences in size and slope?
Materials, vegetation, climate and eruptive history
What is tephra?
Rock fragments thrown into the air during an eruption
What is a pyroclastic flow?
Rapidly moving volcanic material
Where are most volcanoes found?
Plate bounderies
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?
When hot regions of the mantle where high temperature
plumes of mantle material rise toward the surface
What do hotspots tell us about tectonic plates?
The rate and direction of motion can be calculated
