F. Assignment:
On a whole sheet of paper make an essay about Volcanoes.
A volcano is an opening, or rupture, in a planet's surface or crust, which allows hot magma, volcanic ash
and gases to escape from below the surface.
Volcanoes are generally found where tectonic plates are diverging or converging. A mid-oceanic ridge,
for example the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, has examples of volcanoes caused by divergent tectonic plates
pulling apart; the Pacific Ring of Fire has examples of volcanoes caused by convergent tectonic plates
coming together. By contrast, volcanoes are usually not created where two tectonic plates slide past one
another. Volcanoes can also form where there is stretching and thinning of the Earth's crust in the
interiors of plates, e.g., in the East African Rift, the Wells Gray-Clearwater volcanic field and the Rio
Grande Rift in North America. This type of volcanism falls under the umbrella of "Plate hypothesis"
volcanism.[1] Volcanism away from plate boundaries has also been explained as mantle plumes. These
so-called "hotspots", for example Hawaii, are postulated to arise from upwelling diapirs with magma from
the core-mantle boundary, 3,000 km deep in the Earth.
The word volcano is derived from the name of Vulcano, a volcanic island in the Aeolian Islands of Italy
whose name in turn originates from Vulcan, the name of a god of fire in Roman mythology.[2] The study
of volcanoes is called volcanology, sometimes spelled vulcanology.
