    Shield volcanoes have broad, gently sloping sides and are built from fluid basaltic lava flows. They erupt frequently but less violently than other volcanoes. Composite volcanoes like Mount Fuji are taller with steeper slopes due to layers of volcanic fragments that build up between flows of lava. Most volcanoes are located along the Circum-Pacific belt and Mediterranean belt, where tectonic plates are converging. Hotspot volcanoes like those in the Hawaiian-Emperor seamount chain form independently of tectonic plate boundaries when plumes of hot material rise from deep within the Earth.

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

    What is the relationship between craters, calderas,


    vents, and magma?
    Theyre all indentations in the earth except for
    magma.
    How does a crater lake form? (words and pictures)
    Formed by a collapse of vents.
    What two factors does a volcanos appearance
    depend upon? What characteristics vary among
    volcanoes?
    They are identified by the materials theyre made out
    of and the type of eruptions the volcano has

    How do the volcanoes compare in terms of size and


    slope?
    A composite volcano is taller and therefore has more
    slope than others.
    What factors cause differences in size and slope?
    They materials or way the volcanoes are built
    What is tephra?
    A fragment of volcanic eruptions.
    What is a pyroclastic flow?
    When lava and smoke are mixed together
    Where are most volcanoes found?
    In the Circum Pacific and Mediterranean Volcanic
    Belts
    Use the maps provided to show: (1) the Circum Pacific
    Belt and the Mediterranean Belt where convergent
    volcanism occurs and (2) the Hawaiian Emperor
    Volcanic Chain.
    How do hotspots form?
    When a volcano is far away from plate boundaries.
    What do hotspots tell us about tectonic plates?
