WELCOME TO THE Volcanoes WORLD LIST DOWN DIFFERENT VOLCANOES THAT CAN BE FOUND IN THE PHILIPPINES WHAT IS A VOLCANO? Volcanoes are fascinating geological features that result from the accumulation and release of magma or molten rock from beneath the Earth's surface. WHAT ARE THE PARTS OF VOLCANO? SUMMIT OR CRATER CALDERA VOLCANIC FLANKS Volcanic flanks are the sides of a volcano which usually have fractures. VOLCANIC BASED is the bottom and foundation of the volcano. VOLCANIC BASED is the bottom and foundation of the volcano. MAGM A Magma, which is molten rock beneath the Earth's surface, forms through the melting of rocks in the Earth's mantle or crust. CINDER CONE CINDER CONE PARACUTIN IN MEXICO are small, steep mounds composed of tephra volcanic fragments formed by explosive COMPOSITE CONE / -also known as stratovolcanoes, are large, steep, and consist of alternating STRATOVOLCAN layers of lava, ash, and volcanic rocks. O -form by the accumulation of various successive erupted materials. COMPOSITE CONE / STRATOVOLCAN O Mt. FUJI Mt. MAYON SHIELD VOLCANO - form when low-viscosity basaltic lava is allowed to flow freely from a vent stacking upon each other. SHIELD VOLCANO Mt. Kilauea in Hawaii LAVA DOME - ALSO REFERRED AS VOLCANIC DOME -form when viscous lava cannot flow too far ue to the viscosity and cools into a mound. Mt. Cleveland Lava Dome (USA) ACTIVITY: TRUE OR FALSE 1. The mound of earth surrounding the crater is called a caldera. 2. Shield volcanoes form when low-viscosity basaltic lava is allowed to flow freely from a vent. 3. Composite volcanoes are small, steep mounds composed of tephra volcanic fragments formed by explosive eruptions. 4. Cinder cones are tall, steep, conical mountains. 5. Stratovolcanoes, also known as composite volcanoes, are characterized by their explosive eruptions and steep profiles. ACTIVITY: TRUE OR FALSE FALSE 1. The mound of earth surrounding the crater is called a caldera. TRUE 2. Shield volcanoes form when low-viscosity basaltic lava is allowed to flow freely from a vent. FALSE 3.
