3.an explosive eruption
4.a phreatomagmatic eruption
5.caldera formation
A glowing cloud of hot gases and volcanic pieces:
1.was named in Hawaii because it's so common there.
2.is called a pyroclastic flow or nuée ardente.
3.is so rare, none occurred all last century.
4.is associated with shield cones.

2.a cinder cone.
3.an enlarged volcanic crater.
4.a volcanic mud and debris flow that resembles fluid concrete.

The enlarged volcanic craters at Yellowstone, Crater Lake, and Krakatau are:
1.evidence of safe, nonexplosive activity.
2.called lahars.
3.filled with columnar joints.
4.formed by both explosion outward and collapse inward of the mountain.
5.evidence of low silica content.
