Volcanoes of the World
This is P's and X's page website. We will teach you about volcanoes.
This volcano is an active volcano. A active volcano is when magma from the Earth's mantle burns through the crust and out of the volcano with a lot of force. The ash from the volcano fills the air and come down like snow, but is very dangerous to breath in. Volcanoes are on some Hotspots in the oceans.

This Volcano can cause damage to it's surroundings like forests villages and more.
There are different types of volcanoes one of them is a Shield volcano. A Shield volcano is when the lava from the volcano pours out of the volcano and hardens at the edges of the volcano. This tends to repeat and build up and then cause Islands like the ones in Hawaii.
This is a shield volcano that is no Hawaii that helped formed the land.
The other type of volcano is a Cinder-cone volcano. A Cinder-cone volcano is when the volcano is round at the tip and it looks like an ice cream cone upside down. Lava from the volcano explodes from the top of the volcano and burns trees and things around them.
We got this picture from this website http://www.bbc.co.uk/science/earth/natural_disasters/volcano.
This volcano is a Cinder-cone volcano. The volcano in the picture is active and is spewing lava into the water. The lava will cool when it hits the water.
One other type of volcanoes is the Composite Volcano. A Composite volcano is a volcano that is formed when the lava explodes ash, cinder, and bombs. The layers of ash, cinder, and bomb form the volcano

A type of lava fromation is a Lava Plateu. A lava plateu is when the lava from the volcano flows down the cracks and colls down then hardens. Then more lava comes down and then hardens over the old hardened lava. they pile up and from high level areas.

The ring of fire is volcanoes that surround in a circle at the edges of the continents.
A Hot spot is when the volcano lies over it and the hot spot and when the volcano erupts it uses some of it. When the Earth's tectonic plates move the volcano moves away fro the hot spot for a new volcano to use.

A Volcano is when there is a weak spot in the Earth's crust where the magma from the Mantle comes out of the volcano as lava. Volcanoes can make islands by having the lava cool when it reaches the air and the ocean water and it starts to get solid. One example of an island that is mad by lava is the Hawaiian islans
the volcanic neck is when the remains of the volcano when it has eroded and there is nothing else that keeps the volcano alive.
This website is for just for pictures of land forms /http://www.flyingfishphotography.com/slide/shiprock/. pedro was here.
A Batholith is when the mass body of the rock is formed when the magma has cooled inside the crust.
This is a diagram that shows where the levels of the magma show from this website http://intheplaygroundofgiants.com/?page_id=50
