1. Caleb and Max Volcano Presentation

2. Shield volcano

3. The three types of volcanoes are the cinder, composite, and the shield volcano. This picture is a cinder cone volcano.

4. Volcanoes areclassified by if theyare active,dormant, or extinct. If volcanoes or active they are living and could erupt anytime. If they are dormant they are sleeping but they could erupt. Then if they are extinct they are dead. This is a composite volcano. How are volcanoes classified?

5. They are formed like this because of volcanic eruptions that blow the tops of mountains off. Why are volcanoes formed the way they are?

6. Section 2

7. Volcanoes occur when there are hotspots under the earths surface. Also they can occur when one plate edges below another. Why do volcanoes occur?

8. They are the study of how plates are driven and shaped. What is plate tectonics?

9. They work because of the movement of the mantle. The plates are in motion like they are on a conveyor belt. How do plate tectonics work?

10. They move because of convection currents in the mantle. How do the earths plates move?

11. When they run into each other earthquakes form. What happens when plates run into each other?

12. Section 3

13. The place is called the ring of fire. It has about 450 volcanoes a year! Also it is home to more than 75% active and dormant volcanoes. What is the name of the place where most volcanoes occur?

14. It gets its name because about 450 volcanoes rim the pacific ocean. Why does this area get this name?

15. Other volcanoes occur at other plate boundaries around the world. Where else do volcanoes occur?

16. Volcanoes can form when two plates slide past each other or where there is stretching and thinning. How is a volcano formed?

17. Hot spots are volcanic regions thought to be fed by underlying mantle that is very hot. For example Hawaii and Yellowstone have hot spots. What are hot spots?

18. Section 4

19. Some hazards from a volcano are lava flows and volcanic gases. What are some hazards that volcanoes can produce?

20. Due to lava flow crop damage is the result. But there is really nothing you can do about it. What are things that happen from various hazards?

21. Don’t freak out and get to high ground. Make sure its one that has not just exploded. What are some volcano safety tips?

22. People who live by volcanoes can get volcano hazard reports to determine if they live or work in areas with volcano activity. People who live in within 100 miles of a volcano should also find out what their local officials are doing to prepare. How do you prepare for a volcano hazard?

23. In your kit you should have bandages, gauze, gloves, scissors, adhesive tape, and other things in this picture. Emergency kit

24. Section 5

25. One historic volcano is named Mt. Vesuvius. It killed over two million people in a ancient Greek civilization called Pompeii. Also it has erupted over 50 times since that happened. What is a historical volcano?

26. Section 6

27. One volcano that is active is mount St. Helens. This volcano is located in Skamania county in Washington state. It is about 96 miles of Seattle. It is 8365 ft. above sea level. It has erupted in 1980 killing 67 people and destroying over 200 homes. Also people who live near Mt. Saint Helens prepare by having a safety kit like in section 5. another thing is to have food and supplies and get away or get to high ground. What volcano is active?
