Volcanoes
15
Ring of Fire : A ring of 452 volcanoes located in the Pacific Ocean
Hot spots : An area of Earth's mantle from which heat rises from Earth's core
Viscosity : The ability of a liquid to resist flowing
Basaltic magma : Volcanoes with this have low viscosity and less violent eruptions
Magma Chamber : A large underground chamber holding magma that is put under immense pressure
Crater : A depression around the vent of a volcano
Caldera : A crater that is more than 50Km in diameter
Conduit : A pipe above the magma chamber that brings magma to the surface of the volcano
Parasitic Cone : The cone shaped accumulation of volcanic material resulting from a different path then the central vent
Fumarole : A cloud of only gas and smoke resulting from the parasitic cone
Pluton : Magma that cools before it reaches the surface
Pyroclastic Flow : A fast moving cloud of hot gas and rock fragments that can move as fast as 450mph and be as hot as 1000 degrees Celsius
Shield Volcano : A wide volcano with a gentle slope made of basaltic lava
Cinder Cone : A relatively small volcano made from pyroclastic material ejected from a single eruption
Stratovolcano : Also known as a composite volcano it is large and coned shaped-made of flowing lava and collection of pyroclastic material
