Cinder Conde

Dust, ash, cinders and lapilli fragments are ejected from a _________

Cinder Cone

Most are part of the "Ring of Fire", their flows cause the most destruction and have andesitic lava flows.

Composite Cone

Mt. Rainier

Composite Cone

_____ is also called a strat-volcano.

Composite Cone

An eroded remnant of a pipe that once fed a volcano is called a(n)

Volcanic neck

How do scientists classify intrusive igneous features?

Shape, Size

Hawaii

Shield Volcano

Mauna Loa rises 9,170 m from the ocean floor to its summit (peak).

Shield Volcano

____ has broad layers, slow moving basaltic lava, gentle eruptions.

Shield Volcano

Most volcanoes occur at either divergent plate boundaries at ocean ridges or rifts; at convergent plate boundaries at subduction zones; or at hot spots, which are not plate boundaries, but are areas where hot mantle plumes cause volcanic activity.

This is a true statement.

Some volcanoes occur at intraplate locations, in areas known as hot spots, where hot mantle plumes rise up into the crust and result in volcanic activity at the surface.

This is a true statement.

What volcanic feature is illustrated at A in Figure 10-2?

continental volcanic arc (intraplate)

What feature is labeled D in Figure 10-1?

crater

A(n) ____________________ is a sheetlike body that is produced when magma is injected into a fracture that cuts across rock layers.

dike

The four basic types of plutons are:

dikes, sills, batholiths, laccoliths

The Hawaiian Islands are associated with what type of volcanism?

intraplate volcanism

One thing all volcanic eruptions have in common is that they emit large amounts of gas.

true

A lava flow with a surface of rough, jagged blocks and sharp, angular projections is called a(n)

aa
