volcanoes. The greatest direct hazards associated with shield volcanoes are the lava flows and emissions of volcanic gases. Although these sel-dom cause deaths, lava flows typically do exten-sive damage by covering, burning, and crushing everything in their path. Basalt flows can travel more than 50 km from their vent, making most

4.1.3 Igneous Rock Bodies. Igneous rocks are common in the geologic record, but surprisingly, it is the intrusive rocks that are more common. Extrusive rocks, because of their small crystals and glass, are less durable. Plus, they are, by definition, exposed to the elements of erosion immediately. Intrusive rocks, forming underground with larger, stronger crystals, are more …
