_____2. A volcano with gentle slopes and eruptions that produce primarily lava flows is
known as:
a) Shield volcano b) Composite volcano
c) Cinder cone volcano d) None of the above

and tephra, often resulting in a large, symmetrical cone shape?
a) Shield volcano b) Composite volcano
c) Cinder cone volcano d) None of the above
_____4. The Hawaiian Islands are primarily formed by which type of volcano?
a) Shield volcano b) Composite volcano

of volcanic ash, cinders, and rocks that accumulate near the vent?
a) Shield volcano b) Composite volcano
c) Cinder cone volcano d) None of the above
_____6. Which type of volcanic eruption is characterized by highly explosive activity that
sends ash, gas, and lava fragments high into the atmosphere, often causing
widespread destruction?
a) Strombolian eruption b) Phreatic eruption
c) Plinian eruption d) Phreatomagmatic eruption
_____7. A volcanic eruption that involves the interaction of water with magma, causing
steam explosions, is known as:
a) Strombolian eruption b) Phreatic eruption
c) Plinian eruption d) Phreatomagmatic eruption

steam-driven explosions that can eject ash and volcanic gases, the eruption is:
a) Strombolian eruption b) Plinian eruption
c) Phreatic eruption d) Phreatomagmatic eruption

steam, and ash, but without the direct expulsion of magma?
a) Strombolian eruption b) Phreatic eruption

potential to erupt again in the future?
a) Dormant b) Active
c) Extinct d) None of the above
_____12. A volcano that has not erupted in a long time but still has the potential to erupt
in the future is classified as:
a) Active b) Dormant
c) Extinct d) None of the above

considered unlikely to erupt again is called:
a) Dormant b) Active
c) Extinct d) None of the above
_____14. Mount Vesuvius, which erupted as recently as 1944, is an example of which type
of volcano?
a) Dormant b) Active
