Volcano
fascinating geological features that
are formed when molten rock, ash, and gas escape
from the Earth's surface.
Volcanic
HAZARDS
observable
facts that are arising due to
volcanic activity such as eruption, one of the
dangerous event that may happen
because it results to different
hazards.

conduit

CLASSIFICATIONS OF
VOLCANOES
Active
,
dormant
and
extinct
SHIELD
VOLCANOES
LARGE BROAD slopes, fluid lava flow, (up-sideways)
composite volcanoes
steep and symmetrical, explosive eruption, (parang puno yung pagsabog, scatter)
lava domes
small with steep sides, ouzes viscous lava ( wide one direction of lava flow)
cinder cones
smallest, single vent, erupt cinders, ash, and rocks ( thin-downward flow of lava)
The
Crater
This is a bowl-shaped
depression at the top
of the volcano that
forms when the
summit collapses
after an eruption.
Magma
Chamber
This is a large
underground cavity
or reservoir where
molten rock (magma)
is stored before it
erupts.
Conduit
This is a long, narrow channel that connects the
magma chamber to the surface of the volcano.
Magma rises through the conduit and erupts.
Fumarole
This is a vent on the surface of the volcano that
emits steam, gas, and other materials.
Fumaroles are found near the summit.
magma
molten rock that is inside the volcano
lava
molten rock that is released outside of the volcano
