What happens when a volcano erupts?
The magma in the asthenosphere is under great pressure. Magma rises into the cracks because magma is less dense than the crust.
Hot Magma
Cool Crust

As the magma rises toward the surface, less pressure is on the magma. This allows dissolved gasses to separate out.
During a volcanic eruption, the dissolved gases rush out, carrying the magma with them.
Once the magma reaches the surface and becomes lava, the gases bubble out.

Pipe
• A long tube through which magma moves from the magma chamber to Earth’s surface

Vent
The opening through which molten rock and gas leave a volcano

Lava Flow
The area covered by lava as it pours out of a volcano’s vent

Crater
• A bowl-shaped area that forms around a volcano’s central opening
• Lava collects there

Describe the 3 stages of a volcano.
Active (live): volcano that is erupting or has shown signs that it may erupt in the near future.
Dormant (sleeping): volcano that is not currently erupting but may become active in the future.
Extinct (dead): volcano is unlikely to erupt again.

Shield Volcano
• A wide, gently-sloping mountain made of layers of lava and formed by quiet eruptions
• Example: The Hawaiian Islands

Cinder Cone• A steep, cone-shaped
hill or mountain made of volcanic ash, cinders, and bombs piled up around a volcano’s opening
• NO SIDE VENTS!
• Example: Sunset crater in Arizona

• Composite • Colima Volcano, Mexico.• A stubby andesite lava flow advances 900-1,200 m down the
southwest side of Colima Volcano. Lava was first observed in the summit crater on November 20 and began spilling over the crater rim the next day. Colima Volcano is the most historically active volcano in Mexico.

• Cinder Cone: (Pu`u ka Pele) was erupted low on the southeast flank of Mauna Kea Volcano. The cone is 95 m in height, and the diameter of the crater at the top is 400 m. Hualalai Volcano in background.

• Shield volcanoes are among the largest on Earth. The island of Hawaii is made of five overlapping shield volcanoes, of which Mauna Kea is the tallest.
