 What Is It

Structure of a Volcano
The term “volcano” refers to mountain or hill, typically conical, having a crater
or vent in which lava, rock fragments, hot vapor, and gas are or have been erupted
from the earth's crust. The lava and other volcanic materials originated from molten
materials called magma found beneath the surface of the Earth. Magma and other
volcanic materials are finding its way to the surface where they are expelled through
openings like cracks and holes. Any activity that includes the movement of magma
towards or onto the surface is called volcanism.

Figure 3. The Structure of volcano

Illustrated by: Ellissa Christie Kaye L. Murillo

The Parts of a Volcano are:

⮚ Summit is the highest point or the apex of the volcano. At the summit,
you have an opening called vent.
⮚ Slopes are the sides or flanks of a volcano that radiate from the main or
central vent.
⮚ Base is lower outer part of the volcano.

Other Geologic features of a volcano:

 Magma Chamber is a region beneath the vent of a volcano where molten

rock or magma is deposited or stored before eruption.

7
CO_Q3_Science 9_ Module 1
  Main Vent is the main opening or outlet on the surface of a volcano that
emits lava, gases, ash or other volcanic materials.

 Conduit is an underground central tube-like or pipe-like structure of a

volcano that connects the magma chamber to the crater through which
the magma travels.

 Side Vent is a smaller outlet through which magma escapes.

 Crater is the mouth of the volcano which is a funnel-shaped or bowl-

shaped hollow at the top of the vent from where magma, ash and gas
comes out.

 Lava is a molten rock which is given off onto the surface of the Earth
when a volcano erupts.

 Ash and Gas Cloud is a of mixtures of rock, minerals, glass particles and
gases expelled or pushed out of the volcano during volcanic eruption.

Classification of Volcanoes
There are several ways by which volcanoes can be classified. They can be
classified based on structure and activity.

Types of Volcanoes Based on Structure

One way to classify different types of volcanoes is through the structure
characterized by their shape, parts and formation.

Cinder Cone Volcano

Cinder cone volcanoes are the simplest
type of volcano. They are built from particles and
blobs of solidified lava ejected from a single vent.
Lava is thrown into the air, which breaks into
small fragments that solidify and fall as cinders
around the vent to form a circular or oval cone.
Most cinder cones have a steep slope, wide
crater and are the most abundant of the three
major volcano types. An example of this type in
the Philippines are Taal Volcano in Batangas,

Islands, Mount Mayabobo found in Quezon
Province, and Mount Musuan in Bukidnon. An
example of this outside of the Philippines is the
Paricutin volcano in Mexico.

Composite Volcano
Composite volcanoes or
stratovolcanoes are large, typically steep-
sided, symmetrical cones of large dimension
formed from alternating layers of lava flows,
volcanic ash, cinders, blocks, and
pyroclastic materials. One important
feature of a composite volcanoes is the
conduit system from which magma rises to
the surface of the Earth. They are formed
from viscous, or sticky, lava that does not
flow easily. The lava builds up around the
Figure 5. Composite Volcano
vent forming a volcano with steep sides.
Illustrated by: Ellissa Christie Kaye L. Murillo
Some famous composite volcanoes in the
Philippines are Mount Mayon in Albay,
Mount Arayat in Pampanga, Mount Kanlaon
in Negros Island, and Mount Apo in Davao Region. An example of these outside the
Philippines are Mount Rainier in Washington, USA, and Mount Fuji in Japan.

Shield Volcano
Figure 6. Shield Volcano
Illustrated by: Ellissa Christie Kaye L. Murillo
Shield volcanoes are large, broad volcanoes
that look similar to shields from above – hence
the name. These volcanoes are built almost
entirely of fluid lava flow thus these volcanoes
are not steep. They can be easily identified
because they are tall and broad, with flat,
rounded shapes. The lava is not accompanied
by pyroclastic materials, which makes shield
volcanoes relatively safe. Eruptions at shield
volcanoes are only explosive if water somehow
gets into the vent. Mauna Loa is one of the
largest shield volcanoes.

Types of Volcanoes Based on Activity

Another way of classifying volcanoes according to the Philippine Institute of

Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS) is based on their activity as indicated by
their behavior and historical records.

 Active volcanoes are those volcanoes that have had at least one eruption
during the past 10,000 years. They are those that erupted recently and still
showing regular activity like emission of gases, lava and ash flows.

 Inactive volcanoes, on the other hand, are those that have not erupted for
the last 10,000 years and is not expected to erupt again in a comparable time
scale of the future. There are no signs of volcanic activity for a long period of
time because magma supply is cut off. Also the physical form of the volcano
has signs of intensive weathering and erosion

10
CO_Q3_Science 9_ Module 1
  Potentially active volcanoes are those that have no records of volcanic
activity but are morphologically young-looking.

Our country has more than a hundred volcanoes. Twenty four (24) are active while
the rest are either potentially active or inactive volcanoes. Below are some examples
of active volcanoes.

Types of Volcanic Eruptions

Different types of volcanoes erupt differently. They are generally classified as

wet or dry depending on the magma’s water content. Volcanoes are described
according to the style of eruption as follows:

 Phreatic or hydrothermal is a stream-driven eruption as the hot rocks

come in contact with water. It is short lived, characterized by ash columns
but may be a beginning of a larger eruption.

Figure 8. Hydrothermal eruptions

11
CO_Q3_Science 9_ Module 1
 Phreatomagmatic is a violent eruption due to the contact between water
and magma. As a result, a large column of very fine ash and high-speed
and sideway emission of pyroclastic materials called base surges are
observed.
