  3. What’s Inside? • Magma vs. lava • Magma chamber • Vents

  4. Convergent Boundaries • Subduction • Oceanic subducted • Produces magma • Magma rises to form volcano

  5. Explosive Eruptions • Rare • Destructive • Produce clouds of • Debris • Ash • Gas

  6. Pyroclastic Flows • Produced in small amounts of time, large amounts of material • Lahar • Faster than a hurricane • Temperatures greater than 700 deg. Celsius • Deadly

  7. Divergent Boundaries • Rift zone • Filled by magma • Mid-ocean ridges • Most volcanic activity • Iceland, island of Surtsey

  8. Nonexplosive Eruptions • Most common • Produce • Calm lava flows • Huge amounts of lava • Shape our world • Islands in the Pacific • Sea floor • NW U.S.
