- Answer Analysis Questions 1-4 on IN76
- Use your observations of the volcano model to answer the following:
- Describe the similarities and differences between the eruptions of volcanoes with less-gassy and more-gassy magma.
- Which type of magma produced a more explosive
- Imagine a volcano erupting many times over a period of many years. Which of the following landforms is most likely a result of volcanic eruptions: flat plains, a hole or depression, or a mountain? Explain.
- What were the strengths and weaknesses of the volcano model?
Hint: Think about ways in which the model did or did not represent real volcanoes or volcanic eruptions.
- In this activity, you modeled a system. A system is a group of interacting objects or processes. Every system includes
- components: the substances, materials, and processes that make up the system.
- interactions: the relationships between the substances, materials, and processes in the system.
- boundaries: the extent of the system, separating those components and processes that are part of the system from those that arenot.
- a. In a volcano system, how does the geological process of a volcanic eruption result in the formation of igneous rock?
- b. In a volcano system, how can different volcanic eruptions result in the formation of different kinds of igneous rock?
Answer the Guiding Question: How can models help us understand what happens during a volcanic eruption?
