Study Notes

Volcanic Geology

  • Land mass where molten rocks, gases, and pyroclastic materials are ejected is called a volcano.
  • Primary geological formation responsible for ejection of molten rocks and gases is a volcanic vent.
  • Accumulation of ejected materials forms a volcanic cone or caldera, which are common volcano landforms.
  • Lava that oozes out from a volcano creates a form known as lava flow.

Volcano Types and Terms

  • An active volcano that isn't currently erupting but expected to erupt again is termed a dormant volcano.
  • Magma refers to the molten rock stored beneath the Earth's surface.
  • A shield volcano is characterized by its large, nearly perfect slope due to the fluid nature of its lava.
  • The opening on Earth's surface where materials are ejected is called a crater or volcanic vent.
