Quiz Four (9:30-9:35 AM)
GY 111: Lecture test preparation
Tuesday September 22nd
Word List for Lecture Test 1
GY 111 "Word/Concept List" For Lecture Test One (2015)
Be familiar with these 30 terms, multiple terms and/or concepts. You will see some of them in the
definition and compare and contrast components of the up-coming Lecture test. They are not the
only things that you are responsible for on the exam. Multiple answer, fill-in-the-blanks and essay
questions will require comprehensive study of your lecture notes and web lecture notes. Use of a
text book (hardcopy or electronic) during studying is not required, but may prove valuable for some
students.

GY 111 Essay Question For Lecture Test One
In addition to this word list, I present you with one of the 3 essay questions that will
appear on Lecture test 1.
1) There are a lot of different silicate mineral subclasses. What are they, how do they
differ and why are they so prevalent in the earth’s’ crust?. Use sketches to augment
your answer.

GY 111: Physical Geology
Lecture 8: Crystallization of Magma
Instructor: Dr. Douglas W. Haywick
Today’s Agenda
1. Volcanic Landforms
2. Volcanic eruptions (case studies)
3. Measurements of activity
Web notes 7
Cross-section of an
Active Composite
Volcano
Chalk board time
Volcanic Islands
(Island Arcs)
Island Arcs: chains of composite volcanic islands that pop up on
the overriding plate along an oceanic-oceanic plate boundary
Volcanic Eruptions (Rocks)
Shield Volcanoes, fissure eruptions, oceanic hot spots: all
produce low viscosity lava flows that when cooled, form rocks
like basalt
Volcanic Eruptions (Rocks)
Shield Volcanoes, fissure eruptions, oceanic hot spots: The lava
flows come in two main “flavors”
Pahoehoe (AKA ropey)
Aa (AKA jagged)
Volcanic Eruptions (Rocks)
Composite Volcanoes and continental hot spots: produce high
viscosity lava flows that might flow and form rocks like
rhyolite…
Volcanic Eruptions (Rocks)
Composite Volcanoes and continental hot spots: are dangerous

Volcanic Eruptions (Case Studies)
1) Kilauea, Hawaii
Volcanic Eruptions (Case Studies)
2) Lake Nyos, Africa
Volcanic Eruptions (Case Studies)
3) Mt Pelée, Martinique
Volcanic Activity (recap)
Three states of activity are recognized:
1) Active - the volcano is either erupting now, or there is a
historical record of it erupting in the past
2) Dormant - no record of recent activity (i.e., no historical
observations), but the volcano looks “fresh” and may
show some signs of thermal activity
3) Extinct - it may be a volcano, but it is badly eroded, tree
encrusted and shows no signs of thermal activity
Today’s Agenda
1) The chemical composition of the crust
2) Crystallization of molten rock
3) Bowen's Reaction Series
