Chapter 12 Earth Science

Location of Hawaiian Islands formed as the result of hot spots...

Volcano that is made of layers of tephra and lava...

Which type of lava is thick and explosive?

Types of intrusive features include...

Which intrusion is vertical within the layers?

What are the three main types of volcanoes?

Steep sided volcano...

Location of rift or divergent volcanism...

Cinder cone volcanoes have steep sides and are generally the smallest volcanoes.

Volcanic fragments thrown into the air during a volcanic eruption...

Bowl shaped depression around a vent at the top of a volcano...

Opening in Earth's crust through which lava erupts...

The higher the silica content in lava, the higher the lava's thickness.

Most of the world's rift volcanism occurs at divergent boundaries.

Lava erupts through an opening in Earth's crust called a vent.

Temperature and pressure decrease with depth beneath Earth's surface.

Composite volcanoes are made of only basaltic lava.

Intrusion of igneous rock parallel to the rock it intrudes...

Which type of lava  mainly comes out of a shield volcano?

Which of the following are landscape features associated with volcanoes...

Broad, gently sloping sides...

This volcano forms as tephra ejected high in the air falls back to Earth and piles around vent

Volcano that forms from layers of basaltic lava...

Which is underground...

Which lava has quiet eruptions?

Internal resistance to flow...

Rapidly moving volcanic material...

Most volcanoes occur...

Depression that forms with the top or side of a volcano collapses into the magma chamber

All of the following affect the temperature at which magma forms except...

Which is the largest of the volcanoes?

Largest type of intrusive feature...
