VOLCANO
Across
- 6. The thick, melted rock found deep inside the Earth, created because of very high heat and pressure.
- 8. refers to those with the capability of erupting in the near future, but may not have erupted for quite some time
- 9. a mountain or hill with an opening where lava, ash, and other materials come out during an eruption.
- 10. steam-driven eruptions caused by exploding groundwater, with no new lava involved.
Down
- 1. Irregularly shaped, vesicular fragments of lava that are ejected into the air
- 2. a small, round, mound-shaped volcano formed by thick, sticky lava that flows very slowly
- 3. Holes in the ground that emit steam and volcanic gases, even when a volcano is not actively erupting
- 4. a steep-sided, cone-shaped mountain built by alternating layers of thick, viscous lava, ash, pumice, and tephra.
- 5. a type of volcanic eruption driven by the expansion of gases within molten rock
- 7. molten rock that breaks through the Earth's surface during volcanic eruptions
