  • Q1
    a fissure in the earth's crust (or in the surface of some other planet) through which molten lava and gases erupt
    volcano
    silica
    plate
    bondary
    30s
  • Q2
    A volcano that has not erupted for a long time, but may erupt again one day.
    active volcano
    dormant volcano
    extinct volcano
    shield voclano
    30s
  • Q3
    a volcano that is erupting or has shown signs that it may erupt in the near future
    active volcano
    composite volcano
    shield volcano
    30s
  • Q4
    The opening through which molten rock and gas leave a volcano
    silica
    vent
    Island arc
    fault
    30s
  • Q5
    a bowl-shaped opening at the top of a volcano
    crater
    ice cap
    shield
    silica
    30s
  • Q6
    volcanic regions fed by underlying mantle that is hotter than nearby mantle
    magma
    hot spots
    intraplate faults
    lava
    30s
  • Q7
    Volcanic event that can be created when magma is very thick, and clog up a volcano, stopping gases from erupting, leading to a buildup of pressure. often levels of silica and trapped water vapor are very high, causing high viscosity
    explosive eruption
    lava
    silica
    quiet eruption
    30s
  • Q8
    occurs when magma flows easily and gently bubbles out, the lava is thin and runny as it oozes out quietly from the vent. This type of magma has a low amount of trapped water vapor and silica, which allows the magma to flow easily
    vent
    quiet eruption
    explosive eruption
    crater
    30s
  • Q9
    Broad volcano with gently sloping sides built by nonexplosive eruptions of basaltic lava that accumulates in layers.
    shield volcano
    active volcano
    cinder
    30s
  • Q10
    volcano built by alternating explosive and quiet eruptions that produce alternating layers
    Ring of Fire
    composite volcano
    vent
    extinct volcano
    30s
  • Q11
    A major belt of volcanoes that rims the Pacific Ocean.
    intraplate faults
    Ring of fire
    dormant volcanoes
    30s
  • Q12
    A string of islands formed by the volcanoes along a deep-ocean trench
    vent
    hot spot
    island arc
    30s
  • Q13
    A pool formed by groundwater that has risen to the surface after being heated by a nearby body of magma.
    shield voclano
    tectonic plate
    hot spot
    hot spring
    30s
  • Q14
    a material found in magma that is formed from the elements oxygen and silicon
    granite
    basalt
    silica
    crater
    30s
  • Q15
    a volcano that scientists say will never erupt again.
    shield volcano
    European volcano
    active volcano
    extinct volcano
    30s
