hot spot:a very hot part of the mantel,where magma can melt through a plate moving above it.
vent:a central opening in a volcanic area through which magma may escape.
lava:magma that reaches Eath´s surface and flows out of a vent.
crater:a cuplike hollow that forms at the top of a volcano around the vent.
cinder-cone volcano:a steep-side cone that forms from explsive eruptions of hot rocks,ranging from particles to boulders.
shield volcanos:a wide,gently sloped cone that forms from flows of lava.
composite volcano:a cone formed from explosive eruptions of hot rocks followed by a flow of lava,over and over.
geothermal energy:heat from below Earth´s surface
