Areas of Volcanism

Sub-ducting Boundaries• Plate Sub-ducts below surface into mantle

Oceanic-Oceanic• Volcanoes form near boundary

Mid Ocean Ridges• Eruptions occur where plates are diverging

Areas of Volcanism

– Hot Spots

• Hot Spots remain stationary while plates move above

Types of Volcanoes

– Shield Cone• Has a low rounded profile

• Gentle slopes of 2-10 degrees

– Composite Volcano (Strato Volcano)• Both pyroclastic layers and lava flows

• Steep sided near summit with decreasing slope

Page 12: Volcanoes A Lesson Plan Written By Tom Huettl Lecture Outline »Areas of Volcanism »Types of Volcanoes »Types of Lava »Viscosity

Types of Volcanoes

• Cinder Cone– Pyroclastic Material (Fragmented material that has been

explosively ejected)

– Ash and debris accumulates around the vent

– Small steep sided cones

Types of Lava

• Mafic» Silica Poor (45-52%)

• Intermediate» Silica Composition (53-65%)

• Felsic» Contains more than 65% Silica

– High Viscosity

» Slow Flow

» High Silica Content

»

– Low Viscosity

» Fast Flow

» Low Silica Content
