1. Tectonic Landscapes Explore the varying impact of both volcanic (extrusive and intrusive) and seismic processes on landscapes Research different locations to draw out the importance of tectonic activity in creating contrasting landscapes Bibliography

Magma Generation Magma Type Generation Tectonic Setting Hazards Basaltic Low silica, low gas, loc viscosity Dry partial melting of upper mantle Oceanic Hot spot (Hawaii) Constructive (Iceland) Lava flow Andesitic Intermediate Wet partial melting of subducting plates convergent plate margin (Andes) Island arc margin (Montserrat) Lava flow, ash and tephra, pyroclastic flow, lahar, gas emission Rhyolitic High silica, high gas, high viscosity In situ melting of lower continental crust (very rare eruptions Continental Hot spot (Yellowstone) Continent collision zone (Himalayas) Cataclysmic explosion, pyroclastic flow
