Study Notes
- Volcanoes are formed when hot molten rock from deep inside the earth finds its way to the surface.
- Different types of volcanoes can explode, spew lava, or both.
- Volcanoes build up the Earth's surface and can transform entire landscapes in a matter of hours.
- Volcanoes usually occur where two tectonic plates run into each other.
- The Hawaiian Islands were formed by a stream of extremely hot magma from deep beneath the Pacific plate.
- Volcanoes come in different shapes depending on how they're formed: shield, cinder cone, and strata cone.
- Vesuvius is a composite cone or stratovolcano built by many eruptions of ash, cinders, and lava.
- There are extinct, dormant, and active volcanoes, and it is not recommended to build a house close to an active volcano.
- Volcanoes are unpredictable, which is why they are studied.
- Volcanoes are a window on what's inside the earth, where all the land on earth once came from.
