spots‚ which are pockets of magma beneath the crust that erupt onto earth’s surface. The Hawaiian Islands are actually the tops of really high volcanic islands that have formed over a hot spot on the sea floor. The main Hawiian island is actually a volcano that is about 9 km above the ocean floor‚ with a base that is about 160 km wide. Almost 4 km of this island is above sea level.

Me and My Volcano Volcanoes exist all around the world. There are three types of volcanoes‚ they are shield volcano‚ cinder cone volcano and a composite volcano. A volcano is a place where ash‚ gases‚ and molten material rock from deep underground erupt to the surface. Lava comes out of a vent ‚ then it turns into a lava flow. When external waters‚ such as groundwater ‚ mixes with magma and then it turns into steam. The violence of an eruption depends on the amount of gas that was dissolved

Body Both Mount Vesuvius and Mount Tambora are stratovolcanoes. A stratovolcano is a tall‚ conical volcano that often reaches the height of 2500 meters. They are made up of one layer of hardened lava‚ tephra (often called block rocks or bombs)‚ and volcanic ash and are characterized by a step profile and periodic and explosive eruptions. The lava is highly

principle visual difference between Shield volcanos and Stratovolcanoes is the shape‚ which is due to the composition of the magma. The Magma in most shield volcanos is basaltic and far less viscous than that in Stratovolcanoes. A shield volcano consists of a Caldera‚ central vent and magma reservoir while occasionally there are side vents or fissures. The caldera‚ which is Spanish for cauldron is at least a mile in diameter and is a depression in the cone of the volcano. It is built out of the substance

Deep Magma Body Beneath the Summit and Rift Zones of Kilauea Volcano Kilauea is one of the world’s most active volcanoes. The frequent and gentle eruptions provide a perfect place for volcanic studies. It is believed all the activity is due to magma from a hot spot nearby. The magma fills up in a reservoir two kilometers below the surface until a certain point at which it either explodes out the top‚ or it moves laterally forming dikes. These dikes‚ filled with solidified lava‚ shift leading to

THE Types of volcanoes There are three types of volcanoes shield‚ cinder cones and composite volcanoes. Shield volcanoes are large volcanic Forms with that are broad at the top and have low‚ sloping sides. This type of volcano is caused by slow‚ basaltic lava flows. Cinder cones are cone shaped volcanoes some are no more than a few meters and others get as big as high as 610 meters sometime more. Most of the tallest volcanoes are composite volcanoes. These form from quiet eruptions of fluid lava
