    This document provides a revision guide for volcanoes. It includes objectives on defining volcanoes and identifying where they are formed. Key terms are defined, such as lava, magma, and different types of volcanoes. Diagrams that should be drawn include the formation of volcanoes at plate boundaries and volcanic landforms. Revision questions test knowledge on drawing diagrams of volcanic features, identifying if they are intrusive or extrusive, describing feature formation, explaining how landforms change over time and eruptions are influenced by lava. Questions require explaining caldera formation and volcanic activity at plate margins. Tips are provided on answering questions thoroughly with diagrams and using key words.

     Sill
     Dyke
     Volcano
     Batholith
     Lava plateau [5 marks]

    2. For each feature in Question #1, state if it is an intrusive or extrusive feature.


    [5 marks]

    3. Describe the formation of EACH of the following features


    - Sills
    - Dykes [4 marks]

    4. Explain how extrusive and intrusive volcanic landforms change over time.
    [12 marks]

    5. How does the type of lava influence the type of volcanic eruption that occurs and well
    as the shape of the cones? [6 marks]

    6. With the aid of a diagram, explain how a caldera may form. [4 marks]

    7. Explain how volcanic activity occurs at destructive and subduction plate margins.
    [9 marks]

    Tips for answering questions

     Where possible and appropriate, always include a relevant diagram in your


    answers (even if the question does not ask for one)

     All diagrams must be drawn in pencil and include a border and title.

     Use the Key question word (define, explain, describe, etc.) as well as the
    number of marks per question as a guide to how much to write for a question.

     Try to answer questions in a logical and sequential manner (don’t start on one
    point, digress to another point and then return to the original point). Your
    answers must flow!

     All responses must in a proper format i.e. a formal sentence, paragraph, etc.
    Responses must not be in point form and abbreviations are not permitted.

     Check your grammar and spelling!
