Volcanic Landform S3

Section 3 Volcanic Landforms

QuestionAnswer
Name 5 landforms from lava to ash Shield Volcanoes, Cinder Cone Volcanoes, Composite Volcanoes, Lava Plateaus and Calderas
Shield Volcano lava flows gradually build a wide, gently sloping mountain. Quiet eruptions
Cinder Cone a steep, cone-shaped hill or mountain. Explosive eruptions
Composite Volcanoes tall, cone-shaped mountains in which layers of lava alternate with layers of ash, cinders, and bombs. Both quiet and explosive eruptions
Lava Plateaus thin, runny lava erupts from cracks in the ground hardens into layers
Calderas the huge hole left by the collapse of a volcanic mountain
True or false: Volcanic soils are some of the richest soils on earth? True
How does volcanic soil form? It is the breakdown over years of the hard lava
What are features formed by magma include? volcanic necks, dikes, sills, batholiths, dome mountains
Volcanic neck forms when... magma hardens in a volcano's pipe
Magma that forces itself across rock layers hardens into a... dike
Magma that squeezes between layers of rock it forms a ... sill
A mass of rock formed when a large body of magma cools inside the crust is... batholiths
This forms when rising magma is blocked by horizontal layers of rock... dome mountains
What is the process that creates a lava plateau? lava flows out of several long cracks in an area. Thin, runny lava flows far before cooling and becoming hard.
How does a dome mountain form out of magma that hardened beneath the surface? the magma forces the layers of rock to bend upward into a dome shape.
What types of volcanoes would you find on Mars? shield and cone-shaped volcanoes
What is Io? a moon of the planet Jupiter
What is Triton? a moon of planet Neptune
True or false: Io and Triton have volcanic features similar to Earth, Mars and Venus? False
Lava on the surface creates landforms such as... shield volcanoes, cinder cones, composite volcanoes, and plateaus
What is a benefit of volcanoe soil? fertile soil
True or false: Venus and Mars both have active volcanoes? False- they are extinct
Alternating layers of lava and volcanic ash are found in... Composite volcanoes
Olympus Mons, the largest mountain in the solar system is found on what planet? Mars
