The Nature of Volcanic Eruptions
 Dissolved gases, Temperature, and Composition in the magma
Volcanic Material
 __________clastic Materials
 _________________produced in volcanic eruptions.
 ____________ ejected during eruptions ____________ in size
 (fine dust and __________ (less than ___ millimeters) to pieces that weigh tons.
Types of Volcanoes
Shield Volcanoes
 large, ____________________ volcanoes built from _________________ lavas.
Cinder Cones
 ______________________ volcanoes built primarily of ________________
material ejected from a single vent.
Composite Cones (______________________________________)
 composed of both ____________________________
 Known as ______________-volcanoes
 Most are adjacent to the _________________________ (Pacific Ocean)
(e.g., Mt. Rainier and _________________).
 Large size Interbedded lavas and pyroclastics
 __________________ (due to size) type of activity
10.2 Intrusive Igneous Activity
Plutons
 intrusive igneous structures that result from the ________________________
(classified by _________________, and relationship to surrounding rock layers)
Lava Plateaus
 _______________________ extruded from crustal fractures _____________
Sills and ______________
 Are _________ that form when magma is __________________ to the surface.
 Sills ________________________________ and may exhibit columnar joints.
Laccoliths are _________-shaped masses that arch overlying strata upward.
Dikes
 ______-shaped intrusive igneous features that _____________________ layers.
Batholiths - _________ masses of __________- formed when magma
________________, became crystallized, and subsequently ______________________.
 must have a surface exposure ___________________ to be a batholith.
Origin of Magma
 originates when solid __________ the ___________ (crust and upper mantle),
partially _____________ by raising temperature above melting point
Role of Heat - The geothermal ____________—Earth’s natural ____________________
(________ deg C every _________!) with depth but is not sufficient to melt rock in the _________
 Role of Water (ocean) - Causes rock _________________________ temperature
10.3 Plate Tectonics and Igneous Activity
Divergent Plate Boundaries
 _________ volcanic rock is _________ along ____________________ system.
Volcanoes Under the Ocean
•
Seamount: an _______________________________
•
Look much like _______________/composite volcanoes
Intraplate Igneous Activity
 Intraplate volcanism activity within (______________________) a tectonic plate
Most intraplate volcanism: a mass of __________________ material (mantle plume) rises.
Where Do Volcanoes Occur? Along the _______________________________________
•
________________: volcano that occurs in the _________________________
–
Mantle plume rise from _________________ the mantle
–
An ___________________________ if lava & ash build up
–
As the plate keeps moving, a __________ develops (___________Islands)
In which of the following areas is a volcano least likely to form? ___________________
Which type of volcano is the smallest and most abundant and tends to be active for short
periods of time? ____________________________________________
Draw Pictures of each of the 3 types of volcanoes then compare with the back
