Eruptions
GLOSSARY

RATIKA
DELHI
INDIA

Bomb – a lump of rock thrown out in an eruption
Crater – a deep hollow at the top of a volcano
Crust – The top layer of the Earth
Eruption – the release of gases, magma and rock from a volcano
Lava – melted rock that flows down the volcano
Magma – melted rock inside the Earth
Molten – melted, liquid
Vent – a crack on the side of a volcano where magma can escape
What is a volcano?
vent

cone

conduit

RATIKA
DELHI
INDIA

A volcano is a vent
or 'chimney' that
connects molten
rock (magma) from
within the Earth’s
crust to the Earth's
surface.
• The volcano
includes the
surrounding cone of
erupted material.
magma chamber
•
How and why do volcanoes erupt?

RATIKA
DELHI
INDIA

Hot, molten rock (magma) is buoyant (has a lower density than
the surrounding rocks) and will rise up through the crust to erupt
on the surface.
– Same principle as hot air rising, e.g. how a hot air balloon
works
When magma reaches the surface it depends on how easily it flows
(viscosity) and the amount of gas (H2O, CO2, S) it has in it as to
how it erupts.
Large amounts of gas and a high viscosity (sticky) magma will
form an explosive eruption!
– Think about shaking a carbonated drink and then releasing the
cap.
Small amounts of gas and (or) low viscosity (runny) magma will
form an effusive eruption
– Where the magma just trickles out of the volcano (lava flow).
Explosive Eruptions
• Three products from
an explosive
eruption
– Ash fall
– Pyroclastic flow
– Pyroclastic surge
Pyroclastic flows on
Montserrat, buried the
capital city.

ACTIVE VOLCANOES-which are likely to
erupt at any moment.
DORMANT VOLCANOES-which lie dormant
for centuries, but then erupt violently and
silently.
EXTINCT VOLCANOES -no longer likely to
erupt.

SHIELD VOLCANO

RATIKA
DELHI
INDIA

Shield volcanoes can span across hundreds of miles and they can be
huge vertically that they can reach the clouds of earth very easy.
Shield volcanoes have a slow slope and consist of frozen lava after it is
hardened. Shield volcanoes almost always have large craters at their
summit.

CINDER CONE VOLCANO

Cinder cone volcanoes consist of mostly loose, grainy cinders and
have very little to no lava. Cinder cone volcanoes are normally
small about a miles span and about one thousand feet vertically.
Cinder cone volcanoes have fairly steep slopes and normally have
RATIKA
a small crater at the top.

COMPOSITE VOLCANO

Composite volcanoes have another name called “Strato Volcanoes.”
Composite volcanoes consist of lava that is mixed with sand or gravel
which in turn creates cinders or volcanic ash.
