Volcanoes are formed
by/when
Volcanoes are formed when magma
from within the Earth's upper mantle
works its way to the surface.
When do volcanoes
erupt
Volcanoes erupt when molten rock
called magma rises to the surface
Volcanoes are active if
It has a recent history of eruption
Volcanoes are dormant if
It has not erupted in a long time
Volcanoes are extinct if
It has not erupted in the past 10,000
years
Energy may be tapped for human
use in the form of geothermal
energy.It is heat from deep inside the
earth
Which can generate steam to make
electricity or to heat and cool
buildings directly
Are abundant in the
Volcanoes are common along
Philippines because of
The Philippines sits on a unique tectonic
setting ideal to volcanism and earthquake
activity. It is situated at the boundaries of
two tectonic plates – the Philippine Sea
Plate and the Eurasian plate.
VOLCANO
Volcanoes affect the
environment by
Volcanoes have a big impact on the climate.
During major explosive eruptions huge
amounts of volcanic gas and ash are
injected into the stratosphere. The cooling
effect can last for months to years
depending on the characteristics of the
eruption. This can destroy vegetation and
change the physical nature of the surface.
Are found/located in
convergent and divergent plate
boundaries, but are also found within
lithospheric plates away from plate
boundaries. Wherever mantle is able
to melt, volcanoes may be the result.
Are classified into
Composite-It is tall and symmetrical
and with steep sides. Their eruptions
are dangerous and explosive in
nature, with many layers of lava and
pyroclastic material,It is also the
most common type found in the
philippines.
Shield-It is tall but tends to be broad.
However, they are not as dangerous
as that size might make it seem.
Dome- It is significantly smaller in
stature. They are formed when the
lava is too viscous to flow to a great
distance.
Cinder- It is less dangerous
compared to other types, cinder
cones only grow to about 1,000-
1,200 feet tall.
