    Pyxz Marie Fernandez
    This document discusses different types of volcanoes classified by their shape and frequency of eruptions. It identifies four main types of volcanoes according to shape - cinder cones, shield volcanoes, composite volcanoes, and lava dome volcanoes. It also discusses three states of volcanoes according to eruption frequency - active, dormant, and extinct volcanoes. Examples of each type and state from the Philippines are provided.

    TYPES OF

    VOLCANOES
    According to the shape of the
    cone and frequency of
    eruptions.

    PRESENTED BY: FHER ADRIAN G. BALINGIT


    LEARNING OBJECTIVES
    At the end of discussion, the student
    will be able to:
    • Identify and differentiate the 4
    various types of volcano according
    to shape
    • Identify and differentiate the 3s
    various types of volcano according
    to their frequency of eruption
    • Enumerate volcanoes nationwide
    and identify their type
    • Understand how volcanic eruption
    affects the shape of volcano and vice
    versa.
    What is
    a Volcano?
    • A volcano is a vent that
    directly connects magma to
    the surface of the Earth.

    • Having a crater or vent


    through which lava, rock
    fragments, hot vapor, and
    gas are being or have been
    erupted from the earth's
    crust.

    1. Cinder cone
    AKA Scoria Cone
    • Less dangerous compared to
    other types.

    • The opening of a cinder cone is a


    cone-shaped structure, while the
    steeps are formed of the erupted,
    fragmented cinders that fall close
    to the chimney/vent.
    Cinder cone
    AKA Scoria Cone
    • The manner of eruption for
    cinder cones is relatively
    simple. When the lava erupts,
    cinders of it are blown into the
    air. These fragmented cinders
    fall a short distance from the
    opening, thus creating the
    cone.
    2. Shield Volcanoes
    • Shield volcanoes can be very,
    very big in size. However, they
    are not as dangerous as that size
    might make it seem. seem. This
    is because the eruption of lava
    out of shield volcanoes is not
    accompanied by pyroclastic
    material

    because the eruption of lava out

    3. Composite Volcanoes
    • Are also known as strato
    volcanoes
    • Their eruptions are
    dangerous and explosive in
    nature, with many layers of
    lava and pyroclastic
    materials. (1,800°F , 450
    mph)
    4. Lava Dome
    Volcanoes
    • Lava domes are of
    significantly smaller stature.
    • They are formed when the
    lava is too viscous to flow to
    a great distance
    • Generally, such lava domes
    are found on the flanks of
    larger composite volcanoes.
