What to Focus On

  • Vulcanicity includes internal processes that bring material into or onto the crust.
  • Intrusive rocks stay within the crust; extrusive rocks reach the surface.
  • Magma becomes lava when it escapes onto the surface.
  • The three main parts are vent, cone, and crater.
  • Secondary cones may form on the sides of the main cone.
  • Water vapour is the most important volcanic gas.
  • Central eruption volcanoes erupt through a pipe or vent.
  • Fissure eruption volcanoes create lava plateaus.
  • Mud volcanoes are linked with petroleum and gas regions.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

A volcano and a volcanic eruption mean the same thing.

Intrusive rocks are formed when molten material reaches the surface, and extrusive rocks remain inside the crust.

Magma and lava are the same thing.
