Page #330:1-9Page #330:1-9
#1#1
Summarize the difference between mafic
and felsic magma.
Mafic Magma magnesium & iron dark less viscous
Felsic Magma silica & feldspars light more viscous
#2#2
Explain how the composition of magma
affects the force of volcanic eruptions.
More viscous magma traps gases more easily than less viscous magma, which may lead to more explosive eruptions.
#3#3
Compare three major types of lava flows.
• Pahoehoe – ropy
• Aa – jagged
• Blocky Lava – large chunks

Define pyroclastic material, and list three
examples.
Pyroclastic material consists of fragments of rock that form during an explosive eruption.

#6#6
Describe how calderas form.
A caldera forms when the magma chamber of a volcano empties, causing the volcanic cone to collapse in upon it, or when magma is ejected violently and the cone is destroyed.

#7#7
List three events that may precede a
volcanic eruption.
earthquake activity
rock temperatures increase
volcano area bulges
#8#8Would quiet eruptions or explosive eruptions be more likely to increase the steepness of a volcanic cone? Explain your answer.
Explosive eruption are more likely to increase volcano height, because the pyroclastic materials rise upward and fall close to the volcanic vent.
#9#9
Why would a sudden increase of
earthquake activity around a volcano
indicate a possible eruption.
Sudden earthquake activity could be caused by magma moving upward through the rock around the volcano.
