Volcano - a vent or fissure in the Earth’s surface through which magma and gases are expelled.



Magma chamber- the body of molten rock that feeds a volcanoe. Vent -an opening at the surface of the earth through which volcanic material passes. Crater -a funnel-shaped pit near the top of the central vent of a volcano. Caldera -a large, semicircular depression that forms when the magma chamber below a volcano partially empties and causes the ground above to sink.



Lava plateau -a wide, flat landform that results from repeated no explosive eruptions of lava that spreads over a large area.



Product/Artifacts: (What will the digital foot print that you leave behind look like?) This list will change as you develop your project. My digital foot prints will leave behind prezi, glogster, wiki, video, and pictures
