The formation of volcanoes
Magma beneath the crust forces its way to the lines of weakness
Line of weakness
The formation of volcanoes
Layers of lava
Magma
The magma reaches the Earth’s surface through the lines of weakness which is then called lava
Lava cools and forms hill called volcano
Now, you can take a look at the whole process(automatic animation) once
again.
Types of Volcanoes
~extinct
~dormant
~active
Extinct Volcanoes
-Volcanoes which haven't erupted since recorded history and show no signs of ever erupting.
Types of Volcanoes
e.g. Kohala, Hawaii
Dormant Volcanoes-Volcanoes that have not erupted in historic time but probably will erupt again.
e.g. Mauna Kea, Hawaii

Active Volcanoes
-Volcanoes that have erupted in historic time.-e.g. Mount St. Helens

A dead volcano
Japan's highest and most noted volcano
Its growth began with a period of voluminous lava flows from 11,000 to 8,000 years before present (BP)
The last eruption in 1707 ejected andesitic pumice and formed a large new crater on the east flank.
North AmericaNorth America
Mt. Adams
a dormant volcano
one of the largest volcanoes in the Cascade Range
Mt. Krakatoa

The last significant eruption took place in 1904.
AfricaAfricaMt. Etna
an extinct volcano
has the world's longest documented record of historical volcanism
Historical lava flows cover much of the surface
