EARTH FORCESVOLCANOES
Volcanoes and Supervolcanoes
SUCCESS CRITERIA
By the end of this section you should be able to:
Describe the three types of volcano – active, dormant and extinct.
Give 2 benefits of living in a volcanic area.
Understand the key terms to help describe an earthquake.
Explain how earthquakes are measured and recorded.
TYPES OF VOLCANOES
Active – A volcano that could erupt at any time.
Dormant – A volcano that has not erupted for a long time, 100 years or more.
Extinct – A volcano that can’t erupt again.
ANNOTATED DIAGRAM OF A VOLCANO
Your diagram
should look like this.
REMEMBER TO LABEL
Volcanoes release poisonous gases, clouds of dust, ash and
lava bombs. The lava can reach temperatures of over 100°C
and will destroy everything in its path.
Lava bombs vary in size from small particles up to the size
of cars!These bombs can flatten houses and start fires.
A lava bomb
Volcanic eruptions can also spark other hazards such as mud flows,landslides, earthquakes, ash-fall, acid rain and tsunamis.

INTRODUCTION TO YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK
SUPERVOLCANO
YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK
Hot Springs and Mud pots
Yellowstone has erupted 3 times in ancient history....
1.9 million years ago
1.3 million years ago
and 640 thousand years ago
This cycle suggests that another super eruption could be brewing!!
If Yellowstone erupted....
It would be 10, 000 times the size of the Pompeii eruption!
