Cross Section
of A Volcano |
|
|
|
Introduction:
Today, there are many active volcanoes worldwide. Is there anything
we can do to predict how and when they will erupt?
As the world's population grows, more and more people are living
in potentially dangerous volcanic areas. Volcanic eruptions continue--as
they have throughout history--posing ever-greater threats to
life and property.
This project is another effort toward learning about volcano
structure and eruption. |

Material and
instructions
Draw or make a model
to show the cross section of a volcano with all details including
vents for magma as it rises to the earth's surface where it erupts
as gas, ash, and lava, a magma chamber, alternating layers of
ash and lava, parasitic cone of ash and lava, crust, either oceanic
or continental.
