What to Focus On

  • Volcanicity means intrusion of magma in the crust or extrusion of molten material on the surface.
  • A volcano is a vent connected to a magma chamber.
  • Volcanic eruptions can change landforms quickly and strongly.

  • Intrusive forms solidify within the crust.
  • Extrusive forms solidify on the surface.
  • Both types are important in the study of volcanic landforms.

  • Batholiths form the base of mountains after erosion.
  • Laccoliths are dome-shaped intrusive forms.
  • Sills are formed between horizontal layers.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

All volcanoes are mountains that always erupt lava from the top.

Intrusive forms and extrusive forms are the same thing.

A batholith is a surface volcano with a large cone.
