Volcanoes
Across
- 3. An opening in the crust of the earth through which lava, ash,and gases flow
- 4. a mixture of hot solid particles suspended in water vapor and other gases
- 5. magma that contains 52-63% silica
- 7. magma that contains more than 63% silica
- 10. magma that erupts from a vent
- 12. We study volcanoes because they are
- 13. a huge crater-like depression
- 14. lava blobs and blocks larger than 64mm
- 16. loose pyroclastic materials and ash covering the ground
- 18. the Roman God of Fire
- 19. fast flowing lava that, when hard, has a shiny twisted rope appearance
- 21. Roman city destroyed by pyroclastic flow
- 23. a widened hole that magma erupts from
- 25. igneous structures related to volcanoes inside the crust
- 27. having to do with molten earth materials
- 29. the percentage of silica that is thicker and flows less easily
- 30. a mountain built from the accumulation of the material that flows from an opening
Down
- 1. when lava breaks through the sides of the main cone
- 2. lava that is inside a volcano
- 6. silicon dioxide
- 8. a mudflow of volcanic ash mixed with water
- 9. vents in the ground where steam and other gases from volcanic activity escape
- 11. made of tiny angular glassy fragments
- 15. large spaces that magma has melted out
- 17. magma that contains less that 52% silica
- 20. slow flowing lava that, when hard, has a rough broken surface with sharp pieces of Rock
- 22. volcanoes that form on top of the Earth's crust
- 24. like ash but larger
- 26. cone when lava builds up
- 28. a depression at the top of the cone
