What is the relationship between craters, calderas,


vents, and magma?
A Caldera can form when the when the side of a
volcano collapses into the magma. Magma erupts
through an opening called a vent. A crater is around
the vent.
How does a crater lake form? (words and pictures)
A crater lake forms by numerous volcanoes erupting.

What two factors does a volcanos appearance


depend upon?
The two factors volcanos appearance depends on is
the type of material that forms the volcano and the
type of eruptions that occur.
What characteristics vary among volcanoes?
Size, shape, and composition.

alternate
with lava.
How do the volcanoes compare in terms of size and
slope?
What factors cause differences in size and slope?
The different kinds of materials that make up each
volcano, the vegetation that grows on the volcanos
slopes, local climate and the eruptive history of the
volcano.
What is tephra?
Tephra is rock fragments thrown into the air during a
volcanic eruption.
What is a pyroclastic flow?
Pyroclastic flow is rapidly moving volcanic material.
Where are most volcanoes found?
Most volcanoes are found along convergent
boundaries.
Use the maps provided to show: (1) the Circum Pacific
Belt and the Mediterranean Belt where convergent
volcanism occur and (2) the Hawaiian Emperor Volcanic
Chain.
How do hotspots form?
Hotspots form from the high temperature plumes
that are within the mantle.
What do hotspots tell us about tectonic plates?
