Study Notes

  1. A volcano is a geological formation that ejects molten rock, ash, and gas from the Earth's surface.
  2. There are three types of volcanoes: shield, cinder cone, and composite.
  3. Volcanic eruptions can be classified into four types: Hawaiian, Strombolian, Vulcanian, and Plinian.
  4. Volcanic eruptions have both positive and negative impacts on the environment and society.
