The highest point of a mountain or volcano, also called apex.

The sloping side of a volcano or mountain.

The bottom lowest part of a volcano that supports its structure.

A volcano that has no record of eruption and shows no signs of activity.

The largest type of volcano formed by accumulated lava, creating a broad, slightly domed structure.

The process of molten rock, or magma, erupting onto the planet's surface.

Large pool of liquid rock beneath the Earth's surface; also called magma chamber.

A bowl-shaped depression above a volcano's vent where materials are ejected.

A large depression formed when a volcanic summit collapses after an eruption.

Molten rock located underground.

Molten rock that has reached the Earth's surface.

The study of volcanoes and related phenomena.

A scientist who specializes in the study of volcanoes.

Gases produced during the process of digging.

Hot water turns into steam due to pressure drop when it reaches the surface.

Steam spins a turbine connected to a generator that produces electricity.

Cools down steam, condensing it back to water to recycle for the process.

Pumped cooled water back into the earth to restart the geothermal process.

A volcano formed from alternating layers of lava and cinders; also called a stratovolcano.

A volcano characterized by a steep slope and built from volcanic ash and cinders.

A natural phenomenon in which molten material from the Earth's interior breaks through the surface.

A term used to describe the symmetrical shape of a composite volcano.

Small fragments of lava that cool and solidify as they fall from an erupting volcano.

A prefix meaning layers, commonly used in the term stratovolcano.

The different manners in which a volcano can erupt, including explosive and non-explosive.

Eruption from the contact of water and hot rocks, causing explosive steam blasts.

Violent eruption due to contact between water and magma, creating fine ash columns.

Measures heat in magma, affecting its viscosity and eruption style.

Resistance to flow in a fluid, affecting magma's movement and eruption style.

Higher temperatures decrease viscosity of magma, making it flow better.

Periodic eruption ranging from weak to violent, characterized by lava fountains.

Excessively explosive eruption of gas and pyroclastic materials.

The study of climate and its patterns over time.

Measures the distance north/south of the equator affecting climate.

Height above sea level, affecting temperature and climate.

Continuous, directional movement of ocean water influencing climate.

Change in direction of currents due to Earth's rotation.

The side of a mountain facing the wind, receives moist air.

The opposite side of the mountain that loses moisture, typically drier.

Natural process where gases trap heat in the atmosphere, warming Earth.

Rise in Earth's temperature mainly due to fossil fuels and carbon emissions.

Long-term shifts in temperature and weather patterns due to various causes.

Climate pattern with warmer than average sea temperatures in the central/eastern Pacific.

Climate pattern with cooler than average sea temperatures in the central/eastern Pacific.

Changes due to volcanic eruptions and solar activity.

Human impacts like greenhouse gases and deforestation affecting climate.

Consequences like melting glaciers, rising sea levels, and extreme weather.
