How do the volcanoes compare in terms of size and slope?
The smaller volcanos have steeper slopes while the larger ones
are not as steep.
What factors cause differences in size and slope?
Material, Vegetation, climate, and the history of the volcanos
eruptions.
What is tephra?
Rock fragment thrown into the air during a volcanic eruption.
What is a pyroclastic flow?

The ring of fire.
Use the maps provided to show: (1) the Circum Pacific Belt and the
Mediterranean Belt where convergent volcanism occur and (2) the
Hawaiian Emperor Volcanic Chain.
How do hotspots form?
On plate boundarys
What do hotspots tell us about tectonic plates?
It tells us about the movement of the plates.
