Science Report Group 2

The document summarizes different types of volcanoes based on their shape, viscosity of lava, and gas flow characteristics. It describes three main types: shield cones which have low, broad slopes and produce hot, runny lava through fissure or Hawaiian eruptions; cinder cones which form from explosive eruptions and have Strombolian or Vulcanian eruptions; and composite cones or stratovolcanoes which are large with layers of ash and lava and can have Pelean or Plinian eruptions. Viscosity and gas content determine eruption styles, with basaltic magma having low viscosity effusive eruptions and andesitic/rhyolitic magma

ER:
“FIND IT,
TAKE IT”
DIRECTION:
Divide the class into two groups. Each group must choose a
representative to run for their group in the final part. The
members will find the missing letters inside the classroom to
form the word “VOLCANO”. The first group’s
representative to form the said word in front wins.

GOOD LUCK!

General Type of Volcano
According to Shape of Cone

1. Shield Cone
2. Cinder Cone
3. Composite Cone or
Stratovolcano
SHIELD CONE
 Very low, broad, and gently sloping volcano
 Form from hot, runny lava
 Example: Musuan Peak
SHIELD CONE
Types of Eruption produced in Shield Cone:
Icelandic Eruption or Fissure Eruptions
 all terms for volcanic eruptions that flood the surface
of the Earth with massive amounts of very hot, very
thin, runny lava.
 the lava comes out of the ground through long cracks
in the surface called fissures.
SHIELD CONE
Types of Eruption produced in Shield Cone:
Hawaiian Eruption
 known for their beautiful fire mountain
 the lava flows is very hot, thin, and runny
 have the greatest quantity of lava pouring out
 build the cone steeper and higher
CINDER CONE
 Simplest volcanic formation
 Form from explosion of red, hot magma cinders and
ash
 Known for their very violent, explosive, and exciting
 Example: Jolo Island in Southwestern Mindanao
CINDER CONE
Type of Eruption produced in Cinder Cone
Strombolian Eruption
 Named for the volcanic island of Tyrrhenian Sea off the coast of
Italy
 Short-lived explosive eruption that shoot very thick and pasty
lava into the air along with burst of steam and gas
 “Lighthouse of the Mediterranean”
 Usually produced little or no lava
CINDER CONE
Type of Eruption produced in Cinder Cone
Vulcanian Eruption
 Named after the island of Vulcano off the coast of Italy
 Contain high dark clouds of steam and gas
 Usually build a steep sided cone
 The more symmetrical cone – stratovolcano
COMPOSITE CONE OR
STRATOVOLCANO
 Formed from a combination of eruption
 Large stratovolcano – will be built with many layers of
ash and lava
 Example: Mayon Volcano and Bulusan Volcano
COMPOSITE CONE OR
STRATOVOLCANO
Type of Eruption produced in Stratovolcano

Pelean Eruption
 Named for the catastrophic eruption on the Island of Martinique
in the Caribbean in 1902
 Killed 29,00 people
 “Glowing clouds” of gas and ash
 Temperature – around 700 ◦F
COMPOSITE CONE OR
STRATOVOLCANO
Type of Eruption produced in Stratovolcano

Plinian Eruption
 The most explosive
 Characterized by a very high ash cloud that rises upwards to
50,000 ft. (almost 10 miles) high
 Has very deadly pyroclastic flows
VISCOSITY
• Resistance to flow
• Depends primarily on the composition
of the magma and temperature
• Lower temperature magmas have
higher viscosity than higher
temperature magmas
VISCOSITY
HIGH VISCOSITY LOW VISCOSITY
thick thin
does not flow easily flow more easily
VISCOSITY
Magma or Eruption Style

Basaltic Magma
 Thin and runny
 Low viscosity
 Produces the volcanic rock – basalt
 Not very explosive and do not pose as great threat to human life
VISCOSITY
Magma or Eruption Style

Andesitic and Rhyolitic Magma


 Higher viscosity
 Produces rocks – rhyolite and andesite from stratovolcano
 More destructive and explosive eruptions
FLOW OF GAS
Magma contains dissolved gases released into the atmosphere
during eruptions or from magma rising towards the surface.
These gases can escape from soil, volcanic vents, fumaroles,
and hydrothermal systems. As magma rises, gases form tiny
bubbles, making it less dense than surrounding rock. These
bubbles can create magma foam, leading to explosive
eruptions or lava flows if the molten rock is not fragmented.

In addition, Volcanic gases, along with tephra and air, can rise
into Earth's atmosphere during explosive eruptions, spreading
as acid aerosols, tephra compounds, and salt particles.
