Volcano Glossary (Blank)

The document defines several key terms related to volcanoes including: recent and dormant volcanoes, ash and lava, the Earth's interior and crust, volcanic vents and calderas, earthquakes, and the Pacific Ring of Fire. It also describes molten magma reservoirs underground, volcanic eruptions and their hazards. Monitoring instruments like seismographs are used to detect earthquake activity related to volcanic processes along tectonic plate boundaries.
