6.4B| Reading & Reading Questions: Volcanoes

Instructions

Read Section 4.5 through the summary of the chapter. Before starting the reading, remember to utilize reading strategies. 

After completing the assigned reading from your textbook and the previous page, "Volcanic Landforms," you should be ready to answer the following questions. Read each question carefully and choose or formulate the best answer. Note that some of these questions relate to the assigned reading from the previous module about igneous rocks, Chapter 4 - Igneous Processes and Volcanoes up to 4.3, Magma Generation, since volcanic activity and igneous rocks are directly related. You have three attempts and no time limit.
