Volcano
The bowl-shaped depression at the top of a volcano.
Crater
The type of volcano with broad, gently sloping sides built from layers of lava.
Shield Volcano
The type of volcano that is tall, steep, and built from alternating layers of ash and lava.
Stratovolcano (Composite Volcano)
The molten rock beneath Earth's surface that can lead to volcanic eruptions.
Magma
The molten rock that erupts onto the Earth's surface.
Lava
The large pieces of Earth's crust and upper mantle that move and cause volcanic activity.
Tectonic Plates
The release of gas, ash, and lava from a volcano.
Volcanic Eruption
The area beneath a volcano where magma collects before an eruption.
Magma Chamber
The fine particles of rock and glass expelled into the air during a volcanic eruption.
Volcanic Ash
An island formed by volcanic activity, such as Hawaii.
Volcanic Island
An area in the Earth's mantle from which heat rises, creating a volcano on the surface.
Hot Spot
A hot, fast-moving mixture of ash, gas, and rock produced by a volcanic explosion.
Pyroclastic Flow
A large, bowl-shaped volcano formed by the collapse of an emptied magma chamber.
Caldera Volcano
Gases, including water vapor, carbon dioxide, and sulfur dioxide, released during a volcanic eruption.
Volcanic Gas
The process by which volcanic material is erupted, eroded, and then re-formed into rock.
Volcanic Rock Cycle
The effect of volcanic eruptions on the Earth's climate, such as cooling due to the release of sulfur particles.
Climate Impact
A type of lava flow with a smooth, ropey surface.
Pahoehoe
A type of lava flow with a rough, jagged surface.
Aa
The cone-shaped mound built by repeated eruptions.
Volcanic Cone
The potential dangers and risks posed by a volcano, including lahars and ash fall.
Volcanic Hazard
The process by which volcanic materials enrich the soil, making it fertile.
Fertile Soil Creation
The observation and prediction of volcanic activity to prevent harm.
Volcanic Monitoring
A famous volcano known for its eruption in 79 AD, which covered the city of Pompeii.
Mount Vesuvius
A famous volcano in Washington State, known for its major eruption in 1980.
Mount St. Helens
A famous volcano located in Indonesia known for its powerful eruption in 1883.
Krakatoa
