...a composite volcano.\nThese types of volcanoes are built up of layers of lava, ashfall, tephra, cinder, etc.   One name is stratovolcano (strato- refers to the layers, and the other is composite, which refers to the fact that the volcano is made up of many types of material.\nFor more information on stratovolcanoes:\nhttp://vulcan.wr.usgs.gov/Glossary/StratoVolcano/description_composite_volcano.html

No such word.\n\nMaybe foam?  loam?  roam?

The troposphere is the layer closest to the earth's surface. This is where the earth's weather phenomena occurs. The temperature gets colder as you move upwards.\n\nThe second layer up is the stratosphere. This is where jets fly & ozone occurs. B/c of the ozone layer, it is warmer as you get here.\n\nThe third layer up is the mesosphere. This is where meteorites burn up in our atmosphere. It gets colder here as you go up b/c of less air & moving away from the ozone layer.\n\nThe next layer is the thermosphere. This is the hottest layer and is sometimes called the "heat sphere". It has the least amount of air. It is subdivided into the ionosphere & the exosphere. The ionosphere is where satellites are orbiting the earth.\n\n:)

A magma chamber, or a magma reservoir if you want to sound like a professional... lol.

I found a different website that talks about all the different types of volcanos.  There  are Shield volcanoes, Strato, Rhyolite caldera, Monogenetic fields, Flood basalts and Mid-ocean ridges.  There was also some interesting volcano facts that you might be able to use at the 2nd website below.

Volcanology is a branch of geology, the study of the earth. Volcanology emphasizes studies of the processes, products, hazards, and environmental impacts of volcanic eruptions. Volcanologists are geologists who specialize in studies of "young" volcanism. They focus on eruptions within the past 10,000 years, especially on those within recorded history. Volcanologists also study currently active or potentially active volcanoes. They use conventional geologic methods, including geologic mapping and age determination of the deposits of past eruptions. They also use field and laboratory studies of volcanic products, geophysical surveys, and drilling studies. The information they gather provides clues about the volcano's eruptive style (explosive vs. nonexplosive; eruption sizes), eruption frequency, underground structure, and magma reservoir. Volcanologists use this information to evaluate the likelihood of future eruptions (long-term forecasts) and other hazards. They also try to construct maps that show the most vulnerable areas on and around the volcano.

The surface of the Earth turns to molten lava.

pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis\n\n- pretty sure it's a lung disease caused by volcanic ash. Believe it or not, I spelled this in 3rd grade :). My teacher was looking for the longest word in English to give me and I got it right! Still proud of that one ;) \n\nEDIT: it isn't appearing in full on here for some reason.

Mt. St. Helens is a subduction volcano.\n\nVolcanism in subduction is caused by volitals, like H2O, CO2. These are carried down by the oceanic plate, mainly in the form of weak minerals. These minerals break down with pressure and temperature into stronger minerals that don't contain water and carbon dioxide. The leftover gases and liquids travel into the mantle (the mantle wedge) and hydrate the mantle, causing melting. The melt rises and then... volcano!

according to my source it is a volcanic remnant being... um, harvested (for lack of a better word) for lava rock.  Just a note, most active or recently (in geological history, not ours) active volcanos can be told by thier names, generally being called Mount ______, instead of ________ Mountain.  try it :)

The term comes from the Latin word "Ignis" which means fire. Igneous rocks are produced by melting within the earth and later cooling of the molten magma.\n\nThere are two major subdivisions of igneous rocks:\nExtrusive\nIntrusive\n\nExtrusive igneous rocks come from volcanic activity. They are "extruded' by being ejected from a volcano or being part of a slow moving lava flow on the surface of the earth.  Examples: basalt flows, pumice, obsidian, ash, scoria\n\nIntrusive igneous rocks are formed by these molten rocks as they cool within the earth. The slow cooling allows the rock to separate into different minerals and form grains. Large masses of intrusive rocks that harden within the earth are called batholiths and plutons, depending on the size.  Examples of intrusive igneous rocks are granite, gabbro, and monzonite. \n\nHere is a list with photos of examples:\nhttp://csmres.jmu.edu/geollab/Fichter/IgnRx/IgAlphabetical.html

Yellowstone National Park - it's referred to as a supervolcano, and if (when) it goes off, we're all in deep "lava".

From the various reading I've done on this subject, as well as the educational programming I've watched about it, I'd say that all things considered, a volcanic eruption, like that of the 1883 explosion of Krakatoa, is by far the most violent and has the most and the longest-lasting consequences not only on the area in which the volcano erupted and the area the lava reached, and not only the areas affected by the resulting tsunamis, its effect actually includes the entire planet, since such an eruption is violent enough to change the entire planet's climate!\n\nWith a volcanic eruption you have: rocks of all sizes, including those the size of houses, hurled out like torpedoes, hot lava that incinerates everything in its path, hot gasses that not only expand, creating a pressure front, not only also incinerate, but also form acids that dissolve the various objects in their path, massive earthquakes, massive tsunamis and last, but most certainly not least, a thick cloud of ash, particles and gasses that wreak utter havoc with the atmosphere and the planet's general climate, thus disrupting wind currents, ocean currents and the general climatic-atmospheric signature of the planet. Consequently, even those places that were nowhere near the volcano, nowhere near the radius of the area the lava will reach, nowhere near any coast that would be affected by the resulting tsunamis, it will still be affected by the falling rocks and debris, which were spewed up into the atmosphere, as well as by the climatic disruptions.\n\nTo my knowledge, not even earthquakes, regardless how violent, can match that level of and extent of destruction, despite the fact that they cause massive fires and potent tsunamis!\n\n\nNote: I took a very "flexible" interpretation of the word storm. I took it to mean any weather/climatic phenomenon/activity. Thus, in that sense, a volcanic eruption can be interpreted as a storm, even though it is not a current of air or water or both!  But, then again, if that type of climatic activity is not to be considered a storm, then what else can it be called? It is ludicrous to lump wind & water weather events together under the title storm, yet consider volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, tsunamis & mudslides, to name a few, categories & titles in of themselves!

Or in shorter and more easily understood language...\n\nIt is a wedge of sediments and rocks scraped off the top of the down going plate in a subduction zone

stratosphere\nit's not ozone if you are talking about a layer, ozone is O3 not nessecarily a layer. i think you want to look for a specific type of scattering but i don't remeber which \n\none probably find it on wikiepdia.
