Formation and Causes of Volcanoes
Volcanoes are ruptures in the crust. Magma, ash, and gases escape. Commonly found at tectonic plate boundaries.

Tectonic Plate Boundaries
Divergent boundaries create new crust. Convergent boundaries lead to subduction. Hotspot volcanism occurs due to mantle plumes.

Types of Volcanoes
Shield volcanoes: broad and gently sloping. Cinder cones: steep and formed from tephra. Stratovolcanoes: layered lava flows. Supervolcanoes: massive eruptions with vast deposits.

Effects of Volcanic Eruptions
Can impact climate by cooling the Earth. Historical examples include volcanic winters. Effects on agriculture and food supply.

Definition List
Volcano: A rupture in the crust allowing magma, ash, and gases to escape. Divergent Plate Boundaries: Regions where tectonic plates move apart, creating new crust. Convergent Plate Boundaries: Areas where plates collide, often forming volcanoes through subduction. Hotspot Volcanism: Volcanic activity resulting from mantle plumes rising from deep within the Earth. Shield Volcano: Broad, gently sloping volcano formed by low-viscosity lava flows. Stratovolcano: Tall, conical volcano with layered lava flows and tephra. Supervolcano: A volcano capable of producing an eruption with vast volumes of volcanic deposits. Submarine Volcano: Underwater volcanoes, often forming new islands. Subglacial Volcano: Volcanoes formed under ice caps, creating unique landforms. Mud Volcano: Formations created by the eruption of mud and gases.
