    Volcano
  • The lowest part, bottom of the volcano.
    Base
  • It is a surface of which one end or side is at a higher level than another.
    Slope
  • The highest point or the apex of the volcano.
    Summit
  • Has a record of eruption over 6000 years ago.
    Active Volcano
  • No record of eruption for the last 10,000 years ago.
    Inactive Volcano
  • Formed by the accumulation of lava that oozes out from the volcano made by non-viscous lava thus forming a broad slightly dome like a warriors shield.
    Shield Cone Volcano
  • Are built from ejected lava fragments and has 3 sleep major volcanoes
    Cinder Cone Volcano
  • Are nearly perfect volcanoes formed from alternate lava and pyroclastic deposits.
    Stratovolcanoes
  • Steam driven eruption as the hot rocks come in contact with water.
    Phyreatic or Hydrothermal
  • It is the property to the materials resistance to flow

    Compostion of Magma
    Amount of Gases
  • A compound of silicon which is found in sand, quartz which is to make glass.
    Silica
  • Is a violent eruption due to the contact between water and magma.
    Phreatomagmatic
  • A periodic weak to violebt eruption characterized by a fountain of lava.
    Strombolian
  • Characterized by tall eruption column that reaches up to 20km high with pyroclastics flos and ash fall tephra.
    Vulcanian
  • Excessively explosive type of eruption of gas and pyroclastics.
    Plinian
  • Is defined as a molten rock found below the earth surface and also means "thick ointment"

  • A volcanic crater that formed when a part of the wall crater collapses following an explosive eruption
    Caldera
  • Loose fragments or solidified lava.
    Cinder
  • A funnel shaped depression at the top of the volcano formed as the result of explosive eruptions.
