Let's solve the
"Volcanoes Labelling Activity" by matching the correct terms to the parts of the volcano shown in the diagram.
Step 1: Understand the vocabulary
Here are the terms provided:
-
Vent
-
Crater
-
Magma chamber
-
Ash cloud
-
Lava
-
Conduit pipe
-
Layers of solid lava
Now, let’s identify each part of the volcano based on typical volcanic structure:
---
Step 2: Analyze the diagram
Looking at the diagram (a cross-section of a volcano), we can identify:
1.
Topmost part (cloud-like shape above the volcano)
→ This is the
ash cloud, formed during an eruption.
2.
Opening at the top of the volcano
→ This is the
crater, the bowl-shaped depression at the summit.
3.
The narrow tube or channel leading from the magma chamber to the surface
→ This is the
conduit pipe.
4.
The opening through which lava and gases escape
→ This is the
vent, often located at the crater.
5.
The large underground reservoir of molten rock
→ This is the
magma chamber, deep beneath the volcano.
6.
The flowing molten rock coming out of the vent
→ This is
lava (note: lava is molten rock *above* ground; magma is below).
7.
The hardened layers building up the sides of the volcano
→ These are
layers of solid lava, forming the cone.

Step 3: Match labels to arrows
Now, match the words to the blank boxes with arrows pointing to specific parts.
From the image layout (based on standard diagrams):
-
Top right arrow pointing to the cloud →
ash cloud
-
Arrow pointing to the top opening →
crater
-
Arrow pointing to the central vertical tube →
conduit pipe
-
Arrow pointing to the side opening where lava flows out →
vent
-
Arrow pointing to the molten rock flowing out →
lava
-
Arrow pointing to the large underground chamber →
magma chamber
-
Arrow pointing to the sloped layers of the volcano →
layers of solid lava

Final Answer (Labeling):
1.
Top right box (cloud) →
ash cloud
2.
Top center box (crater) →
crater
3.
Middle right box (vertical tube) →
conduit pipe
4.
Middle left box (side opening) →
vent
5.
Bottom left box (flowing material) →
lava
6.
Bottom middle box (deep chamber) →
magma chamber
7.
Bottom right box (layers on slope) →
layers of solid lava

Summary of Labels:
| Box Position | Label |
|--------------|---------------------|
| Top right | ash cloud |
| Top center | crater |
| Middle right | conduit pipe |
| Middle left | vent |
| Bottom left | lava |
| Bottom middle| magma chamber |
| Bottom right | layers of solid lava|
✔ All terms are used exactly once.
This completes the labeling activity correctly!
