Study Notes

A volcano is a geological formation that ejects molten rock, ash, and gas from the Earth's surface.
There are three types of volcanoes: shield, cinder cone, and composite.
Volcanic eruptions can be classified into four types: Hawaiian, Strombolian, Vulcanian, and Plinian.
Volcanic eruptions have both positive and negative impacts on the environment and society.
Geothermal energy is heat generated within the Earth's core and mantle, which can be harnessed for electricity production and heating.
Weather refers to short-term atmospheric conditions, while climate refers to long-term patterns.
Climate change, caused by human activities, is a pressing environmental issue.
Atmospheric conditions include temperature, pressure, humidity, and composition.
The greenhouse effect helps regulate the Earth's temperature, but human activities have increased greenhouse gas concentrations.
Stars are massive, luminous spheres of plasma, and constellations are recognizable patterns of stars in the night sky.
