2nd quarter

• geomorphology?

  study of relief features of earths crust
• 3 primary gelogic forces?

  diastrophism, erosion, volcanism
• physical removal of rock?

  erosion
• diastrophism?

  vertical & horizontal movement of the crust
• volcanism?

  phenomenon related to processes associated with the surface discharge of magma
• ex of volcanism: geyser, fumaroles, hot springs, volcano,
• groundwater underneath is heated up until it explodes into boiling water & steam?

  geyser
• occurs in geothermal areas?

  hot springs
• cone-shaped hill formed by the extrusion of lava?

  volcano
• fumaroles?

  emits mixture of steam & other gases
• island off sicily named after a roman god of fire?

  vulcano
• roman god of fire?

  vulcan
• cone?

  most striking part
• basin-like depression over a vent at a summit of the cone?

  crater
• large underground pool of liquid rocks?

  magma chamber
• rock/magma expelled from a volcano during eruption?

  lava
• dikes?

  barrier/obstacles
• intrusive sheets?

  sills
• opening where eruption takes place?

  vent
• conduit?

  pie conveying liquid materials
• sides of a volcano?

  plank
• entrance?

  throat
• chunks of lava blasted in the air?

  volcanic bomb
• volcanic ash expelled in the atmosphere?

  ash cloud
• fragmented material?

  tephra fall
• fast-moving currents of hot gases?

  pyroclastic flow
• highest point?

  summit
• simplest type, steep conical hill?

  cinder cone
• alternating layers of pyroclastic materials?

  composite volcanoes
• round, steep-sided mound?

  volcanic domes
• makes largest eruptions?

  supervolcanoes
• broad, gently sloping landform?

  shield volcanoes
• underwater volcanoes?

  submarine volcanoes
• beneath glaciers?

  subglacial volcanoes
• phreatic eruption?

  driven by steam
• basaltic/andesitic lava fountain & outburst of molten lava?

  strombolian
• phreatomagmatic eruption?

  ejection of volcanic gases like steam & lava
• release of large quantities of accumulated volcanic gas?

  vulcanian eruption
• most destructive eruption?

  plinian
• pelean eruption?

  formation of domes & glowing avalanches of hot ash (pyroclastic flow)
