Draw and label a diagram of a volcano. Provide a short description for each part. 34

35 2. The mountain that forms from layers of lava and tephra is called a volcano. 3. Volcanoes are classified as active, dormant, or extinct. Describe what those classifications mean. Active: the volcano is currently erupting or has erupted recently Dormant: The volcano hasn t recently erupted but still can erupt Extinct: The volcano is unlikely to ever erupt again 4. There are 4 main types of volcanoes. How are they classified? Cinder Cone Composite Shield Lava Dome 5. What are the two primary types of volcanoes? What are the two secondary types? Why are they secondary? Two primary types are composite and shield volcanoes. Lava domes and cinder cones are secondary because they tend to form on or near primary volcanoes. 6. List one fact about each type of volcano. Draw the basic shape of each type. 7. What are the three places that volcanoes commonly occur? Hot spots, spreading centers, subduction zones 35

36 8. How many hot spots have been identified around the world? What is Hawaii? A hot spot 10. What kind of volcanoes are associated with hot spots? What other features are associated with hot spots? Shield volcanoes and geothermal features 11. Spreading centers are places where tectonic plates are moving away from one another. 12. What is much of the oceanic crust made of? Basalt 13. Magma is the word used to describe melted or molten rock inside Earth. 14. What is magma made of? Elements, minerals, gases 15. What determines the eruption style, rock type, and volcano shape?

39 What you need: * 4 small plastic cups Fill 1 cup ½ full of Nacho cheese Fill 1 cup ½ full of vegetable oil * 1 straw per person, cut in half * 1 lab tray * 1 ruler * 1 timer: phone or stopwatch Lesson 2 Assessment: Key Viscosity Lab Investigation Name: Part 1 Instructions: * Each person will grab ½ of a straw. * One person at a time, place the straw into the cup of oil. * Blow bubbles like you would do with a soda. * Observe how hard you have to blow, and the force and size of the bubbles once the air gets through. * Do the same with the Nacho Cheese using your other 1/2 of the straw. Record your observations below. All group members will do this. a. Blowing in the oil: Students should note the oil was easier to blow in and it produced many bubbles. It was like blowing in water, or milk, or soda etc. b. Blowing in the nacho cheese: Due to the thickness of nacho cheese, it took more effort to blow in it. It produced only one big hole. 39

40 Part 2 Instructions: * One team member will be the pourer, while another is the timer. * The pourer will first grab the cup with vegetable oil. Holding the ruler vertically (either person can hold the ruler), the pourer will hold the cup approximately 12 inches above an empty cup. * The timer will begin the timing as soon and the pourer begins to pour the oil into one of the empty cups. * The timer will stop the stopwatch as soon as the cup of oil is empty. Record this time in the table below. * Repeat steps 3-5 with the nacho cheese and the other empty cup. * Get some chips and eat your cheese if you want! Liquid Time in Seconds Oil Nacho Cheese Answer the questions below. 1. Describe your flow-test results. Why did you get the results you did? The oil flowed much quicker than the nacho cheese. This is because the nacho cheese is thicker than the oil. 2. Is the viscosity of the oil higher or lower than the nacho cheese? How do you know? The oil has a lower viscosity because it flows faster and is less sticky. 3. One way to decrease the viscosity of a liquid is to Heat (heat/cool) the fluid? 4. What factors affect the viscosity of a substance? Temperature and chemical structure 40

41 5. What would happen to the viscosity of the oil and the nacho cheese if you heated it up? What if you cooled it down? The viscosity of both the oil and nacho cheese would be lower if heated, and higher if cooled down. 6. Can magma have different viscosities? What influences the viscosity of magma? (conduct research if you need to) Yes, magma can have different viscosities. The temperature of the magma, and the chemical structure, including the silica content, influences the viscosity of magma. 7. If magma in a volcano has a high viscosity, would the eruption be quiet or explosive? Why? (Think of how the fluids reacted to you blowing air into them) The eruption would be explosive. This is because it is thicker, which makes it more difficult for the gases to escape. The gases build up, and when they finally break through it is more explosive. 8. Could viscosity affect how often a volcano erupts? Why? Yes. When magma has a higher viscosity, the gas and pressure need to build up over time before there is enough force to break through. 9. What are some dangers of a volcanic eruption with high viscosity magma? High viscosity magma means the eruption will be more explosive. This could cause pyroclastic flows, falling rock, landslides etc. 10. What are some dangers of a volcanic eruption with low viscosity magma? This magma is thinner and less sticky. An eruption could cause a faster lava flow and can cover a lot of area in a short amount of time. Bonus: Do you prefer mashed potatoes with low or high viscosity? Explain. 41
