| How do calderas form? | After an eruption, the volcanic mountain collapses.
🗑

| What impact does silica have on magma? | The amount of silica determines the thickness of the magma.
🗑

| What and where is the Ring of Fire? | It is a major belt of volcanoes surrounding the Pacific Ocean.
🗑
|

| What is magma? | It is hot molten rock beneath the surface.
🗑

||||
| What descriptions refers to a pyroclastic flow? | It is explosive and consists of ash, cinders, and bombs.
🗑
|
||||
| What is a volcano? | It is a weak spot in the crust where magma come out from.
🗑
|
||||
| How does a volcanic neck form? | It forms when hardened magma inside the pipe never erupts and the surrounding volcano weathers away.
🗑

||||
| What makes volcanic soil so fertile? | It is full with nutrients, minerals, and rich in potassium and phosphorus.
🗑

||||
| What is geothermal energy and how is it used? | Magma heats groundwater and it is used for home heating and electricity.
🗑
|
||||
| How does a batholith form? | Giant slabs of hardened magma inside the crust lie horizontally.
🗑
|
||||
| What are the 3 factors for the thickness of magma? | Silica content, gas content, and temperature.
🗑
|
||||
| Where is a hot spot? | Away from a boundary near the middle of a plate.
