1. Volcano- A volcano is an opening in the Earth’s crust

through which lava, volcanic ash, and gases escape.
Volcanic eruption are partly driven by pressure from
dissolved gas, much as escaping gases force the cork out of
a bottle of champagne. Beneath a volcano, liquid magma
containing dissolved gases rises through cracks in the
Earth’s crust. As the magma rises, pressure decreases,
allowing the gases to form bubbles. How the magma (lava)
behaves when it reaches the surface depends on both its
gas content and chemical composition. Individual volcanoes
vary in the volcanic materials they produce, and this affects
the size, shape, and structure of the volcano. There are
three types of volcanoes: cinder cones (also called spatter
cones), composite volcanoes (also called
G. Finding practical stratovolcanoes), and shield volcanoes.
applications of Cinder cone- Cinder Cone, like Mt. Capulin in New
concepts and skills Mexico, as shown in the figure below, have straight
in daily living sides and are typically less than 200 m high. Most are
made up of fragments of scoria (vesicular rock from
basaltic lava) that were expelled from the volcano as
gas-rich magma erupted. Because cinder cones are
made up almost exclusively of loose fragments, they
have very little strength. They can be eroded away
easily, and relatively quickly.

Composite volcanoes- Composite volcano, like

Cotopaxi in Ecuador, consist of layers of lava
 LESSON PLAN IN EARTH SCIENCE

GRADE 11 1

alternating with layers of tephra (blocks, bombs,

lapilli, and ash). The layers (strata) is where the
alternative name, stratovolcano comes from.
Cotopaxi displays the characteristic shape of
composite volcanoes, which have slopes that get
steeper near the top of the volcano. The change in
the slope reflects accumulation of tephra fragments
near the volcano’s vent. Composite volcanoes
typically erupt higher viscosity andesitic rhyolitic
lavas, which do not travel as far from the vent as
basaltic lavas do. This results in volcanoes of smaller
diameter than shield volcanoes. A notable exception
is Mt. Fuji in Japan, which erupts basaltic lava. From
a geological perspective, composite volcanoes tend
to form relatively quickly and do not last very long. If
volcanic activity ceases, it might erode away within a
few tens of thousands of years. This is largely
because of the presence of pyroclastic eruptive
material, which is not strong.

Shield volcanoes- Shield Volcano, like the Sierra

Negra volcano in the Galapagos Islands, get their
gentle hill-like shape because they are built of
successive flows of low-viscosity basaltic lava. The
low viscosity of the lava means that it can flow for

GRADE 11 1

long distances, resulting in the greater size of shield

volcanoes compared to composite volcanoes or
cinder cones.

2. HAZARDS FROM VOLCANIC ERUPTION

-There are several hazards that volcanic activity can
produce.
 Eruption Clouds
Occur when massive quantities of ash is
ejected into the atmosphere where it
can reach heights of 50,000 feet.
Eruption clouds have proven to be very
dangerous for aviation jets because the
ash can shut down the engines. The
ash cloud can be very hazardous in
terms of air pollution.
 Lahars
Are volcanic mudflows. Lahars are very
dangerous because they do not require
a volcanic eruption yet can travel
hundreds of miles. All that is required is
loose pyroclastic material on the
volcano that mixes with precipitation or
melting snow.
 Lava Flows
Are layers of molten rock that flow over
the surface, later cooling and solidifying.

 Lava Bomb
Are large chunks of pyroclastic material
ejected from a volcano. Larger
pyroclastic material is called blocks.
 LESSON PLAN IN EARTH SCIENCE

GRADE 11 1

 Pyroclastic flows
Are some of the most dangerous
hazards caused by composite
volcanoes. Pyroclastic flows are
superheated clouds of pyroclastic
material (e.g. hot rock and tephra)
ranging in size from small rocks to the
size of houses that are over 1,000
degrees F traveling down a mountain at
speeds up to 100 mph.
 Tephra (or volcanic ash)
Is fine particles of pyroclastic material
that can be carried thousands of miles
away by prevailing winds. Regions
hundreds of miles away could suffer
collapsed buildings is the falling ash
accumulates enough. Tephra can also
cool the entire planet if enough is
ejected into the atmosphere.
 Poisonous gases
Such as carbon dioxide, carbon
monoxide, and sulfur dioxide can travel
down a volcano and asphyxiate
(suffocating) wildlife and humans. In
1986, an invisible cloud of carbon
dioxide traveled down a volcano in
Africa asphyxiating 1,742 people and
3,000 cattle.
