What is the relationship between craters, calderas, vents, and
magma? They all make up the anatomy of a volcano
How does a crater lake form? (words and pictures) Numerous
volcanic eruptions.
What two factors does a volcanos appearance depend upon?
Material and the type of eruptions.
What characteristics vary among volcanoes? Size, shape,
composition

How do the volcanoes compare in terms of size and slope? Some
are steep, some are small, some are different with vegetation,
climate, and eruptive history

Do not write on this copy. Transfer the questions into your notebook in Cornell style and use your book to find the answers.

What factors cause differences in size and slope? Vegetation,
eruptive history, climate, weather
What is tephra? Rock fragments thrown in air during volcanic
eruption
What is a pyroclastic flow? Rapidly moving volcanic material
Where are most volcanoes found? Plate boundaries, convergent
80% 15% divergent 5% extrusive igneous activity far from plate
boundaries.
Use the maps provided to show: (1) the Circum Pacific Belt and the
Mediterranean Belt where convergent volcanism occur and (2) the
Hawaiian Emperor Volcanic Chain.
How do hotspots form? Deep within mantle, near core-mantle
boundary
What do hotspots tell us about tectonic plates? They move
