First Year Seminar Notes Volcano Morphologies There a several types Strato Ex mt fuji Caldera Marked by eruption where

land sunk with eruption ex Yellowstone Shield Ex scabubretha Tuya Means volcano erupted under different environment, in this case under ice They are determined by what is happening under the volcano Mercury There is evidence that mercury probably had volcanoes, unknown if still active Venus Very good evidence of volcanoes Moon Evidence in mare on moon that there where eruptions, but most likely none in a while Mars Very very accurate satellite imaging, has largest volcano in solar system 640x840 km across, 21 km high Io Moon of Jupiter, almost definitely have seen eruptions, most likely lava lakes Name All planets in solar system and start learning tectonic plates Guts of the earth Bowels Most common elements Oxygen O Magnesium Mg Iron Fe Silicon Si Olivine from the antle, made up of (Mg, Fe)2 Si O4 Athenospher made up of periditie (olivine) Modern plate tectonics Lithosphere+ crust+uppermost amntle Athenosphere- layer on which plats move Convergent plates- come together collide Divergent- move apart Volcanoes1: The Volcanic System

Vents are not bvery big Structure is where ;ava is erupted Includes erupted prodcts Many shapes and sizes Diverse chemical compositions Subaerial, subaqueous and glaciavolcanic Magma (often) has gasees and stuff that are released when it comes to surface, becoming lava Three ways to make solids melt Increase temp Decrease temp Add water 9/9 Things move down from density Up from boyoncy Denisty of rhyolite= 2.5g/cm^3 Density of water 1g/cm^3 Denisty of air .001g/cm^3 Magma that freezes in earth is not erupted-intrusive rock Generally can id intrusive by crystals Eruptions can be explosive or not explosive, explosivity still has ranges

9/11/13 tephra cone pyloclastic cone- mafic, explosive tuya volcano, reupted under ices- mafic-felsic mixed, glaciovolcano composite, strato like fuji- mafic, non explosive shield volcano, has very shallow peak like shielintermediate, mixedd caldera marked by a epression felsic, explosive lava dome intrmediate to felsic, mixed viscous lava, floodbasalt provinces- mafic effusive
