Pages 32 & 33 - What are ways erupting volcanoes can change Earth's surface?

Release rivers of lava that can burn everything in the path, Add new land, Bring minerals from deep inside the earth to the surface

Page 34 - What goes on above Earth's surface to form a volcano?

A crack in the surface and volcano gets taller

Page 36 - What is subduction?

When an oceanic plate goes under a lighter continental plate

Page 34 - What goes on beneath Earth's surface to form a volcano?

Tremendous pressure and heat force magma upward

Page 40 - What happens above the Earth's surface to cause geysers?

Water drains into magma chambers

Page 39 - How does an undersea volcano become a chain of islands?

Underwater volcano gradually rises above the ocean's surface

Page 38 - What is a hotspot?

A place where volcanoes happen not along a plate boundary

Page 40 - What happens below the earth's surface to form geysers?

Magma creates hot water and steam. Steam is forced upward.

Page 37 - How did the Ring of Fire get its name?

It forms a ring along the boundaries of the Pacific Plate, It is one of the most volcanically active areas on Earth

Page 35 - What is an active volcano?

Has erupted in the past 10,000 years and is likely to erupt

Page 35 - What is an extinct volcano?

A volcano that has not erupted for 10,000 years

Answers

1
Pages 32 & 33 - What are ways erupting volcanoes can change Earth's surface?
Release rivers of lava that can burn everything in the path
Spread new plant life
Add new land
Bring minerals from deep inside the earth to the surface
2
Page 34 - What goes on above Earth's surface to form a volcano?
Lava rain
A crack in the surface and volcano gets taller
A giant lava bubble forms and pops
A crack in the surface and hard lava covers the crack
3
Page 36 - What is subduction?
When two tectonic plates hit each other
When two tectonic plates separate
A submarine full of ducks
When an oceanic plate goes under a lighter continental plate
4
Page 34 - What goes on beneath Earth's surface to form a volcano?
Tremendous pressure and heat force magma upward
A crack in the core
There is an explosion beneath the surface of the Earth
It causes epicenters to form
5
Page 40 - What happens above the Earth's surface to cause geysers?
Global warming causes the water to heat up and explode
Water drains into a volcano
Water drains into magma chambers
When lava touches water it turns into a steam explosion
6
Page 33 - How did the eruption of Tambora affect the weather?
Caused an ice age
Made the summer extra hot
It did not have an effect on the weather
Ash in the air blocked the sun
7
Page 39 - How does an undersea volcano become a chain of islands?
Fish swarm around volcanoes and poop out enough sand
During eruptions a part of crust breaks off and floats away
Underwater volcano gradually rises above the ocean's surface
8
Page 38 - What is a hotspot?
The hot air above a volcano
An area with a really hot climate due to increased volcanoes
A place where volcanoes happen not along a plate boundary
A place where lava gathers
9
Page 40 - What happens below the earth's surface to form geysers?
Hot water escapes through a crack in the crust
Magma creates hot water and steam. Steam is forced upward.
Steam bubbles form and pop
Hot spring water enters the mantle and turns lava into steam
10
Page 37 - How did the Ring of Fire get its name?
It forms a ring along the boundaries of the Pacific Plate
It's always on fire
The ring around a volcano burns in a perfect circle
It is one of the most volcanically active areas on Earth
11
Page 35 - What is a dormant volcano?
Isn't erupting currently
Hasn't erupted in 10,00 years
Hasn't erupted in a long time
Is hibernating
12
Page 38 - In what layer of the Earth do hotspots form?
The continental crust
The core
The oceanic crust
The mantle
13
Page 35 - What is an active volcano?
Has erupted in the past 10,000 years and is likely to erupt
Constantly erupts
Is currently erupting
It likes to work out
14
Page 36 - Why do volcanoes occur at subduction zones?
Volcanoes don't happen at subduction zones
The fast collision of tectonic plates forces an eruption
Tectonic plate collisions send magma into the sky
The subducting plate melts
15
Page 35 - What is an extinct volcano?
A volcano that has never erupted
A volcano species that has died out
A volcano that has not erupted for 10,000 years
A fossilized volcano
