So today in class we finished up the volcano notes packet for our quiz tomorrow!!! We went over how volcanoes form.
Here is what I got down:
-Subduction Volcanoes: form from oceanic plate under continental, tend to be most explosive
-Ex: Andes, parts of the Ring of Fire
-Volcanic Island Arcs: Oceanic plate under oceanic plate, upcoming magma more readily reach surface means greater concentration of volcanoes
-Rift Volcanoes: Divergent plate boundaries, oceanic rift
-Ex: Great Rift Valley in East Africa, hydrothermal vents
-Hot Spots:Weak crack in middle of plate
-Ex: Hawaii
After finishing up the notes we watched a movie to kind of wrap up the volcano section. Feel free to ask Ms. Meyer to watch it, it's from the History channel!!!
