- 4. an opening at the surface of the Earth through which volcanic material passes
- 6. thin and quick. ropy looking, smooth surface, very hot temps. Low viscosity
- 8. Describes magma or igneous rock that is rich in feldspars and silica and that is generally light in color
- 9. An area where magma from deep within the mantle melts through the crust above it.
- 11. an opening in the Earth's crust through which molten lava, ash, and gases are ejected.
- 13. - decrease in pressure- increase in temperature- increase in water
- 14. A molten mixture of rock-forming substances, gases, and water from the mantle
- 16. thick, brittle ,crusty lava
Down
- 1. boundary A plate boundary where two plates move toward each other.
- 2. long linear cracks
- 3. cool, stiff lava that does not travel far from the erupting vent. Usually oozes from a volcano and forms jumbled heaps of sharp-edged chunks.
- 5. describes magma or igneous rock that is rich in magnesium and iron and that is generally dark in color
- 7. boundary A plate boundary where two plates move away from each other.
- 10. Lava that cools underwater, taking on a distinctive pillow-like shape as it hardens
- 12. Magma that reaches Earth's surface
- 15. the pocket beneath a volcano where magma collects
