Discovering Cinder Cone Volcanoes

Exploring the World of Cinder Cone Volcanoes

Cinder cone volcanoes are relatively small with steep sides and a bowl-shaped crater at the top. These unique geological formations are built by cinders formed during an eruption. When the volcano spews out skin-melting blobs of lava charged with gas, these fiery projectiles cool in flight, eventually hardening into rock. The resulting dark rock is relatively light due to the presence of holes formed by the trapped gas.

As you visualize the scene, several sensory words in the paragraph enhance your understanding and imagination. Words such as steep, bowl-shaped, blobs, fly, skin-melting, dark rock, and trapped gas evoke vivid imagery of the dynamic and intense volcanic process.

Question: What are some sensory words included in this paragraph that help you imagine the scene?

a. steep, built, eruption c. cinders, gas, volcano, rock b. bowl-shaped, blobs, fly, skin-melting d. none of these, bowl shaped, blobs, fly, skin melting

Answer:

B. bowl-shaped, blobs, fly, skin-melting.
