Extractions: Andesitic Volcanoes Basaltic Volcanoes (Click on the icon to see an enlarged picture) Some of these spectacular volcanoes throw molten lava into the air higher than the Sears Tower in downtown Chicago! Volcanoes like these are called basaltic and have dense lava that flows evenly and smoothly. The lava can travel at speeds up to 70 miles per hour and reach temperatures of over 2000 degrees! The free flowing lava spreads out over a large area and usually creates a huge mound of lava that looks like a shield lying face up. Volcanoes like this are called shield volcanoes. The island of Hawaii is the largest shield volcano in the world. It starts about 15,000 feet below the surface of the ocean and rises 13,832 feet above sea level. Over the last 750,000 years it has oozed out over 80 billion tons of lava to make the island of Hawaii!

Extractions: There are two main types of volcanoes: shield and composite . Shield volcanoes are usually found in the middle of tectonic plates. Islands like Hawai'i are good examples of this type of volcano. There's a hole in the middle of the plate and magma moves out and piles on top of itself, slowly building a mountain of rock. That magma comes from small tunnels which scientists call vents. The other big type is a composite volcano. This type of volcano is usually what you think of as a volcano. It's shaped like a cone and mainly made up of ash, which has piled up and compacted over the years. You'd find these volcanoes in subduction zones like Mount Ararat in Turkey. The stuff that comes out is smaller. There's not so much lava but lots of small rocks and a lot of ash. Those rocks are called pyroclastic We'll start at the bottom when we look at the structure of a volcano. All of the molten rock in the asthenosphere finds weaknesses in the crust. The molten rock creates a main passageway called a central vent . As the magma rises, secondary vents develop. Those secondary ones are just smaller and branch from the main tube. At the top of the volcano, at its highest point, is a

A shield volcano produces lava, or molten rock, when it erupts; a cinder cone produces ash; and a composite volcano is a combination of the first two.

http://www.epa.gov/naturalevents/volcanoes.html

Extractions: Washington Volcanic gases that pose the greatest potential hazards are sulfur dioxide, carbon dioxide, and hydrogen fluoride. Locally, sulfur dioxide gas can lead to acid rain and air pollution downwind from a volcano. These gases can come from lava flows as well as a volcano that erupts violently. Volcanic ash can travel hundreds to thousands of miles downwind from a volcano. Fresh volcanic ash is gritty, abrasive, sometimes corrosive, and always unpleasant. Although ash is not highly toxic, it can trouble infants, the elderly, and those with respiratory ailments. Ash can also get in your eyes and scratch them, especially when it's windy. Ash can be hazardous to grazing livestock and can damage or force the shutdown of drinking water and wastewater treatment facilities by clogging or damaging equipment.

With one eruption a volcano can reshape the earth's surface, destroy forests, change weather patterns and replenish nutrients to the Earth's soil. Scientists are forever trying to predict the behavior of these sleeping giants. Even if they could predict an eruption there is nothing to do but watch and wonder at what new changes will be brought about. Process/ Task By participating in this WebQuest you will have the chance to actively learn through exploring on your own by playing the role of a top notch school newspaper reporter named "Scoop". As "Scoop" you will learn what a volcano is and why it erupts. You will also become an expert on the different types volcanoes and know where some of the world's most famous volcanoes are. If at the end of this WebQuest you feel you that you need more information, you will have the opportunity to go online with a volcanologist and ask any questions that you have. Have fun learning , and LET THE WEBQUEST BEGIN !!!!!!! FIRE ON THE MOUNTAIN It was a rather quiet day for Scoop . He was sitting behind his desk throwing paper basketballs into the trash can. Scoop worked for his school newspaper and was considered to be the best reporter on the staff.

Extractions: 15. Ash cloud Cleveland Volcano in the Aleutian Islands of Alaska photographed from the International Space Station For other uses, see Volcano (disambiguation) A volcano is an opening, or rupture, in a planet's surface or crust , which allows hot, molten rock, ash, and gases to escape from below the surface. Volcanic activity involving the extrusion of rock tends to form mountains or features like mountains over a period of time. Volcanoes are generally found where tectonic plates are pulled apart or come together. A mid-oceanic ridge , for example the Mid-Atlantic Ridge , has examples of volcanoes caused by " divergent tectonic plates " pulling apart; the Pacific Ring of Fire has examples of volcanoes caused by " convergent tectonic plates " coming together. By contrast, volcanoes are usually not created where two tectonic plates slide past one another. Volcanoes can also form where there is stretching and thinning of the

http://www.solcomhouse.com/volcano.htm

Extractions: Projects Goals Comments Site Category Map ... Awards Volcanoes USGS Graphic A volcano is a mountain that opens downward to a pool of molten rock below the surface of the earth. When pressure builds up, eruptions occur. Gases and rock shoot up through the opening and spill over or fill the air with lava fragments. Eruptions can cause lateral blasts, lava flows, hot ash flows, mudslides, avalanches, falling ash and floods. Volcano eruptions have been known to knock down entire forests. An erupting volcano can trigger tsunamis, flashfloods, earthquakes, mudflows and rockfalls. More than 80 percent of the earth's surface is volcanic in origin. The sea floor and some mountains were formed by countless volcanic eruptions. Gaseous emissions from volcano formed the earth's atmosphere. The word volcano comes from the little island of Vulcano in the Mediterranean Sea off Sicily. Centuries ago, the people living in this area believed that Vulcano was the chimney of the forge of Vulcan( Lat. Volcanus)the blacksmith of the Roman gods. They thought that the hot lava fragments and clouds of dust erupting from Vulcano came from Vulcan's forge as he beat out thunderbolts for Jupiter, king of the gods, and weapons for Mars, the god of war.
