ERUPTION STYLE
Volcanoes erupt differently. They are generally
classified as wet or dry depending on the magma’s
water content.

may be an onset of
a larger eruption.
B. PHREATOMAGMATIC - As a result, a large
column of very fine ash
and high speed and
sideway emission of
pyroclastics called base
surges are observed.

 PYROCLASTICS
• Pyroclastic rocks (derived from the Greek word:
fire-broken) are clastic rocks composed of rock
fragments produced and ejected by explosive
volcanic eruptions.
• The individual rock fragments are known as
pyroclasts.
Four types of pyroclastic
materials include:
 Ash
 Lapilli (little stone)
 Volcanic blocks
 And volcanic bomb

Three Types of Volcanic Cone
 THREE TYPES OF VOLCANO ACCORDING TO
SHAPE

1. Shield Volcano
- Formed by the
accumulation of lava
that oozes from the
volcano. Mauna Loa Volcano in Hawaii
 1. SHIELD VOLCANO
•Non- viscous lava can flow freely, a
broad, slightly domed structure that
resembles a warrior’s shield.
 Three Types of Volcano according to shape
2. Cinder cones Volcano
- Built from ejected lava
fragments.
- A steep slope, wide crater
and are most abundant of
three major volcano types.

SHAPE
Mayon Volcano
3. Composite Volcano
- Called as stratovolcanoes.
- A large, nearly perfect sloped
structure from alternate
solidification of both lava and
pyroclastic deposits.

 ACTIVITY
1. What are the types of volcano according
to Eruption.
2. DRAW the three types of volcanic cones:
Shield, Cinder and Composite Volcano.
3. Differentiate the appearance of the cones.

•Have an advance reading in
geothermal energy for your
graded recitation next meeting.
