What is a Volcano?
“A volcano is most commonly a conical hill or mountain built around a vent that
connects with reservoirs of molten
rock below the surface of the Earth.
The term volcano also refers to the opening or vent through which the molten rock and associated gases are
expelled.”
The three main types of volcanoes
Shield: Low viscosity magma; continuous eruptions build up many layers of lava
The three main types of volcanoes
Composite, or stratovolcano: built up from many periodic eruptions of more viscous lava
The three main types of volcanoesCinder cone: most common, smallest, sometimes
found on the sides of other types of volcanoes
Now let’s make our own volcanoes!
Here are the directions!•Build your volcano: shield, composite, or cinder cone. Remember to leave an opening in the top!•Into your food coloring cup, pour the vinegar and dish soap. Mix with craft stick.•Put on your GOGGLES! Safety is awesome.•Pour baking soda into your cup inside your volcano.•Pour vinegar mixture into your cup inside your volcano.•Wow!•If you would like another eruption, use 1 tble bs, 2 tble vinegar, few drops each dye and soap.
How is our volcano like this one?
VOLCANOES IN YOUR BACKYARD!

•Pyroclastic flows•Hot lava!
•Earthquakes
Volcanoes are also good!•Soils
