Shield Volcano
• A wide, gently-sloping mountain made of layers of lava and formed by quiet eruptions
• Example: The Hawaiian Islands

Composite Volcano
• A tall, cone-shaped mountain in which layers of lava alternate with layers of ash and other volcanic materials
• Example: Mount St. Helens in Washington and Mount Fuji in Japan

Caldera
• The large hole at the top of a volcano formed when the volcano’s magma chamber collapses

What are the three types of volcanic mountains?
• The three types of volcanic mountains are
• Shield volcanoes• Cinder cone volcanoes• Composite volcanoes
![Page 12: Volcanoes : Volcanic Landforms. What landforms does lava create on Earth’s surface? How does magma that hardens beneath the surface create landforms?](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56649e705503460f94b6e30e/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
What landforms does lava create on Earth’s surface? Explain how each landform is formed.
• Shield volcanoes– Lava pours out of the volcano’s vent and hardens creating
new layers of rock• Cinder cone volcanoes
– Ash, cinders, and bombs pile up around the volcano vent in a cone-shaped pile
• Composite volcanoes– Quiet eruptions (lava flow) alternate with explosive eruptions
(ash, cinders, and bombs) creating a tall cone-shaped mountain
• Lava plateaus– Lava fills the cracks in Earth creating higher elevated, flat
land

Landforms From Magma
![Page 14: Volcanoes : Volcanic Landforms. What landforms does lava create on Earth’s surface? How does magma that hardens beneath the surface create landforms?](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56649e705503460f94b6e30e/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Volcanic Neck
• A deposit of hardened magma in a volcano’s pipe
• Looks like a giant tooth stuck in the ground
![Page 15: Volcanoes : Volcanic Landforms. What landforms does lava create on Earth’s surface? How does magma that hardens beneath the surface create landforms?](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56649e705503460f94b6e30e/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Dike
• A slab of volcanic rock formed when magma hardens in a vertical crack
![Page 16: Volcanoes : Volcanic Landforms. What landforms does lava create on Earth’s surface? How does magma that hardens beneath the surface create landforms?](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56649e705503460f94b6e30e/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Sill
• A slab of volcanic rock formed when magma hardens in a horizontal crack
![Page 17: Volcanoes : Volcanic Landforms. What landforms does lava create on Earth’s surface? How does magma that hardens beneath the surface create landforms?](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56649e705503460f94b6e30e/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Compare and Contrast What is the difference between a dike and a sill?
• Both a dike and a sill form when magma hardens in a crack
• A dike forms when magma hardens into a vertical crack
• A sill forms when magma hardens into a horizontal crack

Batholith
• A mass of rock formed when a large body of magma cooled inside the crust
![Page 19: Volcanoes : Volcanic Landforms. What landforms does lava create on Earth’s surface? How does magma that hardens beneath the surface create landforms?](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062304/56649e705503460f94b6e30e/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
How does magma that hardens beneath the surface create landforms?
• Volcanic necks– Magma hardens inside the volcano’s pipe
and the softer layer around the pipe wears away
• Dikes– Magma forces its way into vertical cracks in
the crust and hardens
• Sill– Magma squeezes between horizontal layers
of rock and hardens
