Answer:
The layer of the earth beneath the crust is called the mantle. It is separated from the crust by a boundary called Mohorovicic discontinuity.

Question 2.

2.	Eg. Volcanoes of the Hawaii islands	Eg. St. Helens in USA

Question 3.
Active volcano and dormant volcano
Answer:

S.No	Active volcano	Dormant volcano
1.	Active Volcanoes erupt frequently.	Dormant Volcanoes have shown no sign of activity for many years but may become active at any time.
2.	Eg. St.Helens in USA, Pinatubo in Philippines.	Eg. Mt Fujiyama in Japan, Mt. Krakatoa of Indonesia

X. Answer the following questions in detail

Question 1.
Write about the effects of an earthquake.
Answer:

1. Earthquakes may cause changes in the earth’s surface. Vibrations often set landslides in mountainous regions.
2. A greater danger in an earthquake is the falling of buildings.
3. Fire is another great danger. Underground water system is naturally disturbed by such movements.
4. An earthquake which originates below or near the sea causes great disturbance in the water.
5. Tsunami, a Japanese term, is the name given to the huge wave caused in the sea by an earthquake.

Question 2.
Describe the classification of volcanoes based on the eruptions.
Answer:

1. Volcanoes are also grouped according to their periodicity of eruptions such as active, dormant and extinct.
2. These names refer to the state of activity rather than the types of volcanoes
3. Active Valcanoes that erupt frequently are called active volcanoes. Most of the active volcanoes lie in the Pacific Ring of Fire belt which lies along the Pacific coast.
4. Mt. Stromboli in Mediterranean Sea, St.Helens in USA, Pinatubo in Philippines.
5. Dormant volcanoes have shown no sign of activity for many years but they may become active at any time. It is also called Sleeping Volcano
6. Vesuvius mountain of Italy, Mt Fujiyama in Japan, Mt. Krakatoa of Indonesia are famous examples of this types.
7. Extinct The top of extinct volcanic mountains have been eroded. Mt Popa of Myanmar and Mt. Kilimanjaro and Mt. Kenya of Africa are examples of extinct volcanoes.

Question 3.

Answer:
There are three major zones of volcanic activities in the world. They are:

1. The Circum – Pacific belt
2. The Mid continental belt
3. The Mid Atlantic belt

Circum Beit
This is the volcanic zone of the convergent oceanic plate boundary. It includes the volcanoes of the eastern and western coastal areas of Pacific Ocean. This zone is popularly termed as the Pacific Ring of Fire which has been estimated to include two-thirds of the world’s volcanoes

XI. HOTs

Question 1.

Answer:

1. The inner most layer of the earth, called the core has two parts, the outer core and the inner core.
2. The outer core is rich in iron and is in liquid state.
3. The inner core is made of Nickel and Ferrous which is in solid state.
4. The central core has very high temperature and pressure

Question 2.
Are Volcanoes Destructive (or) Constructive?
Answer:
Volcanoes are constructive and Destructive.
Constructive effects:

Answer:
Some volcanoes are found under oceans . If an underwater volcano keeps erupting, it can rise above the ocean’s surface and thus as Island is formed.

Explain three major zones of volcanic activities in the world.
Answer:
There are three major zones of volcanic activities in the world. They are:

1. The Circum – Pacific belt
2. The Mid continental belt
3. The Mid Atlantic belt

1. Circu m Belt: This is the volcanic zone of the convergent oceanic plate boundary. It includes the volcanoes of the eastern and western coastal areas of Pacific Ocean.

2. Mid continental belt:

1. This is the volcanic zone of convergent continental plate boundaries that includes the volcanoes of Alpine mountain chains, the Mediterranean Sea and the fault zone of eastern Africa.
2. The important volcanoes are Vesuvius, Stromboli, Etna, Kilimanjaro and Kenya.

3. Mid Atlantic Belt:

1. This belt represents the divergent boundary of plates located along the mid- Atlantic ridges. Volcanoes of this area are mainly of fissure eruption type.
2. St. Helena and Azores Island are other examples.

Question 2.
What are the causes of volcanic activity?
Answer:
Causes of Volcanic Activity

1. The temperature increases as the depth increases at the rate of l°c for every 35 metres.
2. There is also great pressure. At a depth of about 15 km the pressure is about 5 tonnes per cm of rock.
3. Under these circumstances, the interior of the earth is in a semi-molten state called magma.
4. The magma, under great pressure has the capacity to dissolve great volume of gas; some gases are also combustible.
5. This makes volcanic material burst forth through the weak spots in the earth’s crust.
