VolcanoesVolcanoes
Any opening in the Earth’s
crust through which magma
reaches the surface
The openings are called
vents
VolcanoesVolcanoes
When magma reaches
the surface it is called
lava
Hills or mountains are a
result of this process

•3 types of volcanoes
Shield VolcanoesShield Volcanoes
Broad and rounded
Made from stacks of
runny basaltic lava

Smallest, most abundant
Violent eruptions with lots
of ash
Active for short time, then
become dormant
