    The document describes different types of volcanoes categorized by their activity, shape, and eruptive style. Volcanoes are classified as active or inactive based on recent eruptions. Shield volcanoes form from lava flows while composite volcanoes have steep slopes and alternate layers of lava and ash. Eruptive styles range from non-explosive to powerful Plinian eruptions.

    VOLCANOES

    VOLCANO An opening in the Earth’s surface where molten rocks,


    smoke, gases,

    and ashes erupt.

    Three Major Parts of a Volcano

    BASE lower part of the volcano connected to the land

    RIDGE refers to the shape of the volcano

    SUMMIT the upper part of the volcano where lava moves out

    *CRATER A funnel-shaped opening at the top of a volcano

    *CALDERA Formed when a part of the wall collapses following an


    explosive

    eruption

    VISCOSITY Property of the material’s resistance to flow

    Classification of Volcanoes Based on Volcanic Activity

    ACTIVE VOLCANO A volcano that has had at least one eruption


    during

    the past 10,000 years

    INACTIVE VOLCANO A volcano that has not erupted for the last
    10,000

    years

    Classification of Volcanoes Based on Shape


    SHIELD VOLCANO Formed by the accumulation of lava that oozes
    out

    from the volcano.

    CINDER VOLCANO Have steep slope, wide crater and are the
    most

    abundant of the three major types

    COMPOSITE/STRATOVOLCANOES Large, nearly perfect sloped

    structure formed from alternate solidification of both lava and


    pyroclastic deposits.
