Lahar summit erosion

Vent lava geyser

Magma chamber diatrophism fumarole

Crater pyroclastic flow volcanism

Erosion, diatrophism, erosion 1. The three primary geologic forces that alter the planet’s
surface.
geyser 2. A phenomenon on the surface where groundwater beneath the shallow
surface is heated up until it explodes into boiling water and steam.

____________ 6. Fast-moving currents of hot gases and rock travelling downhill from a volcano.
____________ 7. A basin-like depression over a vent at the summit of the cone.
____________ 8. The highest point of a volcano.
____________ 9. A rock or magma expelled from a volcano during eruption
