25
Volcanic Neck
remains of magma solidified in conduit
26
Volcanic Conduit
circular pathway from fissure to surface
27
Bowen's Reaction Series
Minerals Crystallizes in systematic fashion based on melting points
28
Crystal Setting
earlier, dense minerals settle towards bottom
29
Magmatic Differentiations
one magma->two different magma
30
Assimilation
magma melts and incorporates other
31
Magma Mixing
Buoyant overtakes slow moving
32
Partial Melting
melt enriched in ions from lowest melting temperture minerals

49
Sedimentary Rock goes to ___ via
Metamorphic via heat and pressure
50
Parasitic Cone
Flank Vent emitting lava/pyroclastic material
51
Fumaroles
flank vent emits gases
52
Calderas
circular, steep-sided depressions with a diameter >1 km
53
Crater Lake Calderas
Form from the collapse of the summit of a large composite volcano following an eruption; these calderas eventually fill with rainwater
54
Hawaiian type calderas
: Form gradually from the collapse of the summit of a shield volcano following the subterranean drainage of the central magma chamber
55
Yellowstone Calderas
Form from the collapse of a large area after the discharge of large volumes of silica-rich pumice and ash; these calderas tend to exhibit a complex history
