REVIEWER SCIENCE 9-7th MONTHLY EXAM

1. Volcanologists- are scientists that study volcanic activity.

2. Volcano- is a vent or an opening on Earth’s surface from which materials such as hot lava and
volcanic gases escape from within the planet.
3. Magma chamber- it is the storage of magma, the molten rock found about 5km below Earth’s
crust.
4. Conduit- this is the pipe or channel in which magma moves up above Earth’s crust.
5. Throat- It is the uppermost part of the main vent where the entrance of the volcano is located
and lava is ejected.
6. Secondary Vent and cone- This vent is found in larger volcanoes that need more than one vent
as passageway for magma.
7. Crater- It is formed around the main vent where volcanic materials, like lava, ash and rocks
come out during volcanic eruptions.
8. Active volcano- It is the type of the volcano that has erupted at least once since the last Ice Age
or in the last 10,000 years and is expected to erupt again in the future.
9. Hot spot- is an area in Earth’s mantle where magma is generated and causes volcanic sctivity.
10. Dormant Volcano- It is a volcano that has the capacity to erupt but has not erupted in the last
10,000 years.
11. Extinct volcano- It is an inactive volcano that has not erupted over the last 10,000 years and is
not expected to erupt in the future.
12. Shield volcano- these are low mountains with broad sloping sides, formed by flowing lava.
13. Summit calderas- These are volcanic craters that are formed by an explosive eruption or a
collapsed peak surface because of an empty magma chamber
14. Cinder Cone Volcano- It is the simplest type of volcanoes with steep conical hills of volcanic
debris formed by particles and blobs of erupted lava.
15. Star- It is a gigantic, glowing ball of mixed gases in space.
16. Neutron star- It is consisting of a small, dense core which came from the explosion of a bigger
star.
17. White Dwarf star- It is a small, hot, dense core of a big star that has exploded.
18. Red Dwarf star- These are stars larger than white dwarf stars, and they are abundant in the
Milky Way Galaxy.
19. Yellow Dwarf star- these are stars in the main sequence stage of the life cycle.
20. Red Hypergiant star- It is extremely luminous and about 1500-1600 times larger than the sun.
21. Constellation- It is the term given to a group of stars that forms a prominent pattern in the night
sky.
22. Orion- he was a great hunter who onced boasted that he could eliminate all animals with
hunting skills.
23. Ursa Major- It is the Latin term for Big Bear or Great Bear.
24. Star map – This helps in locating the stars, constellations and asteriams.
25. Zodiac- It is the Latin word which means “ circle of animals”
