It is a vent, hill or a mountain that erupts, releasing molten rocks, rock fragments, and gaseous materials onto Earth’s surface

It is where magma passes through from the magma chamber to reach Earth's surface.

This is a large reservoir that stores molten rock (magma) prior to eruption.

It is a bowl-shaped depression produced by volcanic activity and explosion.

This is the stream of molten rock flowing out of the crater.

This is an alternative smaller outlet where magma escapes to reach Earth's surface.

This is formed when lava and ashes escape from smaller vents; it is also known as a parasitic cones.

It is formed when thick volcanic ashes are discharged into the atmosphere caused by violent explosion or eruption of the volcano.

It is a mixture or rocks, minerals, and slass particles expelled during a volcanic eruption.

What are the Anatomy of a Volcano

A volcano that is famous for its almost perfect cone shape.

Is just one of the appearances of a volcano.

Volcanoes are formed from pyroclastic fragments and volcanic ashes that form and solidify around the main vent to form a cone, which can be either circular or oval.

It is also known as stratovolcanoes

Composite is also known as?

It is a volcano that have acidic and sticky lava, which allows the lava to solidify without traveling very far.

This volcano are formed from non-acidic basaltic lava flows of high viscosity producing broad sloping sides and shield-like structures.

This is most well-known shield volcanoes

Types of Volcanoes according to Shape

These volcanoes have erupted during historical times

These volcanoes are active but not erupting: however, they are expected to erupt anytime soon.

These volcanoes have not had any eruption in the past 10 000 years and are expected not to erupt anymore in the future, these volcanoes have been intensively weathered and eroded.

Types of Volcanoes According to Eruptive History

The magma chamber is being filled with magma. An increase in seismic activity and steam or smoke coming out from the volcano can be observed.

The pressure will start to build up inside the magma chamber and the energy starts to increase for eruption.

After the eruption, the magma chamber is now empty, which may trigger the walls of the conduit to weaken and to collapse into a crater or a caldera.

Phases of Volcanic Eruption

This involves the outpouring of basaltic magma that is relatively low in viscosity and low in gas content.

This involve magma of high viscosity and high gas content.

This is were fluid basaltic lava is thrown into the air, creating a lava fountain or lava flows.

There is a burst of glowing lava due to the bursting of gas bubbles at the vents of the volcano.

This is a hardened chunks of bubbly lava

This is were the eruption is short, explosive, and violent.

This is the most violent among all types of volcanic eruptions. It releases huge amounts of gases and ashes at great speeds.

This is a steam-driven explosion, whereas magma heats the surface or ground water, the water begins to boil or directly produce steam that causes the explosion.

involves the eruption of magma that reacts to external water

Types of Volcanic Eruptions

This refers to magma (molten rock) that has been expelled onto Eartis surface.

This refers to the pyroclastic materials and rock fragments that are being expelled during volcanic eruptions.

Pyroclastic materials that are already solid when ejected during eruptions

This means Little Stones in Latin

A mixture of powder-sized rocks, minerals, and gas particles

A mass of molten rock, large, dense pyroclastic rocks that cool in the air before they reach the ground
